Adjustable Positioning Lanyard Instructions / Warnings
“BuckAdjuster” 1/2” 16 strand braided rope. Manufacturing matrix material option “8K” (see Fig.1)
“RigidLine” 7/16” parallel core cable
of polyester filament. Manufacturing
matrix material option “8R” (see Fig.2)
Inspect Prior to each use: inspection
should include but not be limited to the
following:
Rope Inspection:
Inspecting your rope should be a continuous process of observation
before, during, and after each use.
Inspect rope fibers for signs of excessive wear, burns, cuts,
abrasions, kinks, knots, hockling, ice buildup, broken strands in any
given area of the rope.
If ice or snow build-up is noted, remove build-up prior to use by
running the length adjusting device along the length of the rope. Ensure
the length adjusting device is clean and free of packed
snow or ice.
Both outer and inner fibers contribute to the ropes strength. If either is
worn, the rope will naturally be weakened. Open the rope strands and
look for powdered fiber, which is one sign of internal rope wear.
Inspect the rope for frayed strands and broken yarns. Check for pulled strands. A pulled strand
should be re-threaded into the rope if possible, otherwise it may snag on a foreign object during
use.
Inconsistent texture or stiff areas can indicate excessive dirt or grit embedded in the rope or shock
load damage. Check that rope has not become hard or compacted. A hard or compacted rope
indicates reduced strength.
Inconsistent diameter (flat areas, bumps, or lumps). This condition indicates core or internal
damage from overloading or shock loading.
With use, all ropes become dirty. Inspect for areas of discoloration that could have been caused by
chemical contamination and may result in the rope becoming brittle or stiff.
Glossy or glazed areas that generally indicate signs of heat damage.
Rope, rope stitching, splice or rope crimp and all whipped ends are free of defects
(see Fig. 3a, 3b & 3c). Stitched eyes must have a protective cover (shrink tube) over the stitching
and the cover must not be damaged, missing or torn. (see Fig. 3b ).
Terminations of RigidLine extends through crimp. The crimp is secure and tight.
If your Adjustable Positioning Lanyard is manufactured using Matrix Rope Option “8K” or “8R”
do not use rope that has the red warning center / core exposed.
See photos below for examples of a variety of conditions indicated above:

Remove from service if subjected to impact loading. Even though no visible signs are present, internal damage may have occurred
thus reducing its strength and margin of safety.
This product is intended for work positioning only.
The arrow on the housing should always point away from the user & towards the attached locking snaphook. Note: - Improper
orientation of the LAD will result in the loss of locking action required to maintain adjustment of the rope when in use.
The cam lever must be installed in the body in the same direction as shown in the sketch on the LAD body. Note: - Improper
orientation of the cam lever will result in the loss of locking action required to maintain adjustment of the rope when in use.
Center lock nut is not to be re-used after initial loosening or removal.
LAD shall not be used on steel cable or wire rope.
In the event of a cutout and if the cam lever of the LAD is held in the open position, rope will continue to feed through unit.
Therefore, cam lever must be released for rope to stop feeding through LAD.
Never wrap an Adjustable Positioning Lanyard around a sharp member as the material could be cut or damaged.
Units manufactured with Anti Wear Tubing intended to minimize wear (i.e. abrasion, cuts, etc.) to the rope is intended for use on
poles, trees, and other structures. When used for this function, ensure Anti Wear Tubing is adjusted properly to cover all contact
points of pole, tree, or structure.
With each use, visually check that the Adjustable Positioning Lanyard snap hook / carabiner freely engages the body belt circle D-
ring and that the keeper / gate is completely closed and facing outward. Never rely solely on the feel or sound of a snap hook /
carabiner engaging.
Make sure each snap hook / carabiner is positioned so that its keeper / gate is never load bearing.
When in the work position, ensure there is no pressure on the snap hook locking mechanism sufficient to depress it as this will, due to
its length, render it incompatible with currently designed D-rings and make it very susceptible to rollout.
Lubricate lock mechanism and keeper on both sides of snap hook at least weekly or as often as required to maintain smooth operation
(no binding) with light weight lubricant such as WD-40®.
Product covered under these instructions / warnings should not be resold / redistributed or re-used after use by original user.
