PRODUCT SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Swing 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 to in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or death in the
event of a fall.
Personal Fall Arrest: 4-Person Rope HLL may be used to support a MAXIMUM 4 Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) for use in Fall Arrest applications. Structure must
withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 3375 lbs.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-310 lbs.
Restraint: 4-Person Rope HLL 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 3375 lbs No free fall is permitted.
Ø Ensure 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-specific minimum loads set forth in this instruction manual. Work area MUST be stable.
NEVER for simultaneous use in Fall Arrest and Restraint
LIMITATIONS
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall
clearance, account for a MINIMUM 4ft safety factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other applicable factors as shown in in Fig. 10.
Ø When not in use, store equipment where it will not be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, chemicals, or other degrading elements.
Ø Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of 4-Person Rope HLL.
WARNING: Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point
Compatibility: When making connections with 4-Person Rope HLL, 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 4-Person Rope HLL by a Competent Person.
Lifespan: The estimated product Lifespan is 10 years from the date of manufacturing. The following factors can reduce the Lifespan of the product : intense use, contact with
chemical substances, specially aggressive environment, extreme temperature exposure, UV exposure, abrasion, cuts, violent impacts, bad use or maintenance..
