ŸAuthorized Person: A person who is assigned by their employer to work around or be subjected to potential or existing fall hazards It is
the responsibility of a Qualied or Competent person to supervise the job site and ensure all applicable safety regulations are complied
with Components and Specications.
4. IMPORTANT BEFORE INSTALLATION AND USE Prior to use, plan your system-
ŸEnsure all PFAS equipment is selected and deemed compatible by a Competent Person.
ŸEliminate or minimize all risk of swing fall.
ŸDetermine desired location for ; ensure location is free of debris, rot, decay, cracking, and hazardous
materials.
ŸInstallation, set-up, and use of system must be done under the supervision of a Qualied Person.
5. INSTALLATION OF RIGGING PLATE: may be connected to a compatible vertical lifeline (VLL) or rope lanyard

ŸRope Threading:
ŸPass the attachment end of the rope through hole1, and pull
the rope through the hole.
ŸInsert the attachment end rope through hole 2 and pull
through without making any slack.
ŸContinue by attachment rope end through hole 3 and pull
through so that there is no slack.
ŸThread the rope end through hole 4 and pull through so there
is no slack.
ŸThread rope end through hole 5 & pull through. Leave a 1”
diameter loop of slack.
ŸNow Position the rope end around to back of
and insert through 1” diameter loop.
ŸFirmly pull the rope end until loop tightens to form a knot,
Ensure there is no rope slack over entire length of
.
6. ADVISE & INFORMATION:
ŸIt is essential to verify that the medical condition of the user is to use
the connectors in normal & emergency use i.e. user must be
medically t to use the device.
ŸA rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that
could arise during work.
ŸIt is prohibited to make any alterations or additions to the equipment
without the manufacturer prior written consent, and any repair shall
only be carried out in accordance with manufacturers procedures.
ŸEquipment shall not be used outside its limitation, or for any purpose
other than that for which it is intended.
Ÿ are personal property of the user.
ŸIt is essential for safety that equipment is withdrawn from use immediately if ever subjected to a fall arrest. Do not use again until
conrmed in writing by a competent person that it is acceptable to do so.
ŸEnsure that the strength of the anchorage member used is greater than 5000lbs.(22.2 kN).
7. MATERIAL : Aluminium
8. MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, AND STORAGE :
ŸIf the Rope Termination Anchor fails inspection in any way, immediately remove it from service, and contact TheHarnessDepot for
all maintenance and repair needs.
ŸCleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of
ŸRemove all dirt, corrosives, and contaminants from before and after each use.

9. INSPECTION:
ŸKEEP INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR REFERENCE. Record Date of First Use. Prior to EACH use, inspect for
deciencies, including, but not limited to, corrosion, deformation, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint
buildup, excessive heating, alteration, broken stitching, fraying, bird-caging, and missing or illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove
from service if defects or damage are found, or if exposed to forces of a fall arrest.
ŸEnsure that applicable work area is free of all damage, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, decay, cracking, and hazardous
materials. Ensure that selected work area will support the application-specic minimum loads set forth in this instruction manual. Work
area MUST be stable.
ŸAt least at an interval of every 6 months, a Competent Person other than the user must inspect
inspections MUST be recorded in inspection log in instruction manual and on equipment inspection grid label. The Competent Person
must sign their initials in the box corresponding to the month and year the inspection took place.
ŸDuring inspection, consider all applications and hazards to which the has been subjected.
WARNING: Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection
point.
ŸRestraint: may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers from reaching the
leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the
directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces with
slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/ horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
ŸNEVER for simultaneous use in Fall Arrest and Restraint.
10. LIMITATIONS:
ŸFall Clearance: There must be sufcient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before to eliminate the possibility of
the user from striking the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 3' safety factor,
deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other applicable factors.
ŸSwing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. Always work as close as possible to be in line with the anchor point.
Swing falls signicantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or death in the event of a fall.
ŸCompatibility: When making connections with , eliminate all possibility of roll-out. Roll-out occurs when
interference between a hook and the attachment point causes the hook gate to unintentionally open and release. All connections must
be selected and deemed compatible with Rigging Plate Rope Anchors by a Competent Person. All connector gates must be self-closing
and self-locking, and withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs.(16 kN). See the following for examples of compatible/incompatible
connections.
11. EQUIPMENT RECORD: If equipment fails inspection, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE FROM SERVICE. User must inspect prior to EACH
use. Competent Person other than user must complete formal inspection at least every 6 months.
12. PERSON INSPECTIONS: This inspection log must be specic to one Separate inspection logs must be
used for each All inspection records must be made visible and available to all users at all times.
