IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ÿ It is important to inspect the equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions before each use.
Ÿ Inspection of equipment should be conducted on a regular basis by a qualified person with the results recorded in
the inspection log.
Ÿ DO NOT REMOVE product labels which include important warnings and information for the authorized person.
"Authorized Person" is a person who is exposed to fall hazards during the course of their work. This individual
requires formal training in the use of personal fall protection equipment and systems. The term "Authorized
Person" may be used interchangeably with "User" and "End-User."
Ÿ DO NOT ALTER the equipment in any way.
Ÿ Always send the equipment back to the manufacturer, or to the persons or entities authorized in writing by the
manufacturer, for any repairs if required.
Ÿ If a fall were to occur, then the forces of impact could affect the user. Hence it is important to consider the age,
fitness level and the health condition of the user before the equipment is put to use. Consult a physician in case
the user is not feeling physically fit and has doubts about his ability to safely absorb the fall arrest forces. This
equipment is not meant for use by pregnant women and minors.
WARNING !!
Ÿ Never use any natural material like manila, cotton, etc. as part of a Fall Protection System.
COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
Ÿ Always have a Rescue Plan ready and at hand when using this equipment.
Ÿ Immediately remove from service any equipment that has been subjected to a fall.
Ÿ Authorized persons, or users, shall be trained on all warnings and instructions provided in this manual.
Ÿ Such harmful environments require a more frequent inspection and servicing program of the fall protection
equipment to maintain the integrity and safety of the equipment. Contact KStrong if in doubt.
Ÿ A competent person must ensure compatibility of the system to minimize any potential for accidental disengagement.
Ÿ Fall protection equipment should only be used for the purpose for which it has been designed.
Ÿ Take proper precautions to remove any debris, material, obstructions, etc. from the work area which could cause
injury, or otherwise interfere with the functioning of the system.
Ÿ Always check for obstructions below the work area to make sure that the potential fall path is clear.
COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY
Ÿ It is important to keep in mind environmental hazards when selecting fall protection equipment.
Ÿ Immediately discard any product which is exhibiting unusual wear, deformity or deterioration.
Ÿ Do not expose the equipment to chemicals, highly corrosive or caustic environments, or to direct sunlight and UV
radiation which may cause UV degradation.
Ÿ Keep the equipment away from anything that could damage it such as sharp edges, rough or abrasive surfaces,
high temperature surfaces, heat and welding sources, moving machinery, electrical hazards, etc.
Ÿ This equipment should never be used for towing and hoisting or for any other purpose than its intended use.
Ÿ All the synthetic material of fall protection equipment must be protected from slag, hot sparks, open flames or
other heat sources.
Component compatibility with KStrong manufactured fall protection equipment is ensured by strictly following the
instructions for each type of equipment used. However, if the fall protection equipment utilizes combinations of
components or sub systems that are manufactured by others, only a “qualified” or “competent” person (as defined in
OSHA) can ensure the compatibility. If substitutions or replacements are made with non-approved components or sub
systems, then this may severely affect the compatibility of the equipment, making the complete system unsafe for use.
To ensure the compatibility of the connectors with their connecting element, it is important to safeguard that the sizes
Ÿ It is important for all authorized persons and users to refer to the applicable ANSI standards and to the regulations
governing occupational safety.
Ÿ It is recommended that heat resistant materials are used in such applications. It is important to allow adequate fall
clearance below the work surface.

Ÿ Two or more connectors should never be attached to a single D-ring.
and shapes of the connectors and the connecting elements do not allow their gate mechanisms to open inadvertently,
notwithstanding their orientation with each other. All hooks, carabiners, D-rings and other such connectors, must be
capable of supporting a min. force of 5000 lbs. (23 kN). All connectors must be compatible with all system components
like anchorages, etc. Never use equipment that is not compatible as this may cause the connectors to disengage
unintentionally. All connectors must be compatible in shape and size. As per ANSI Z359.12 and OSHA, only self-locking
snap hooks and carabiners may be used.
Ÿ A snap hook should not be connected into a loop or thimble of a wire rope, or attached to it in any way that may
slack the wire rope.
Ÿ Never attach a connector that could result in a load on its gate.
Ÿ Connectors should not be connected to each other.
Ÿ Connectors should not be connected directly to the webbing or to the rope lanyard or tie back, unless specifically
allowed by the manufacturer.
Ÿ Do not make connections where the connector locking mechanism can come into contact with a structural
member, or other such equipment, as it may potentially unlock the connector and release the connection.
While using KStrong snap hooks and carabiners, they should not be connected as below:
NEVER USE INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Ÿ Connectors should not be connected in a false engagement. It should be visually confirmed that the connector is
fully engaged to the anchor point. Avoid conditions that allow for features that protrude from the connectors to
catch on the anchor, giving a false sense of being connected.
Ensure that only self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are used with this equipment. All connections should be
compatible in size, shape and strength. The connectors used should be suitable to each application. Ensure that they
are fully closed and locked while in use.
Ÿ Connectors should not be connected to any object which does not allow the connector gate to close or lock.
Anchor shapes that allow roll out to occur should never be used for connection. If the anchor, to which the snap
hook or carabiner is attached, is undersized or irregular in shape, then this allows for the gate of the connector to
come in contact with the anchor, thereby causing the connector to open up and possibly disengage from the
anchor. This is known as roll out of the connector.
CONNECTIONS USING CONNECTORS
Large throat opening snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects. This is because if
the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, then this may result in a load on the gate of the connector. Large throat snap hooks
are specifically designed for use on fixed structure elements such as rebar or cross members. These are shaped in
such a way that they cannot capture the gate of the hook.
Ÿ Do not use connectors on an anchorage object as shown in figure G.
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS WHILE MAKING CONNECTIONS
Ÿ To connect to a single or a pair of soft loops on a harness, a carabiner that can fully close and lock should only be
used. Snap hooks are not allowed for such connections.
Ÿ A carabiner may be connected to a loop or ring connector that is already occupied by a choker style connector.
Snap hooks are not allowed for such connections.

If the connecting element to which a snap hook (shown) or carabiner attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where
the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. This force may cause the gate (of either a self-locking or a non-
locking snap hook) to open, allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point.
RESCUE PLAN
Ÿ Extreme Temperatures
Ÿ Gases
Please contact KStrong with any questions regarding the use of this equipment in the presence of any environmental hazard.
This equipment is not designed to be used in high temperature environments. It is important to protect this equipment
when using near activities like welding or metal cutting. Hot sparks may cause damage to this equipment or burn
it. Contact KStrong for details on use of this equipment in high temperature environments.
The application type determines the anchorage strength requirement. As per ANSI Z359.1 the necessary anchorage
strength for the following applications is listed below:
Ÿ Chemicals
CONNECTING SUBSYSTEMS
It is important to take additional precautions while using this equipment in the presence of any environmental hazards
so as to prevent injury to the user or damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Ÿ High Voltage Power Lines
A rescue plan should be well documented and in place before performing work at height. The rescue operation must be
performed by trained and competent personnel only. The rescue expert team should supervise the rescue operation
performed. It is also advised to work in pairs while working on the site.
Use only those connecting subsystems (self-retracting lifeline, lanyard, rope grab and lifeline, cable sleeves) that are
suitable for your application. See subsystems manufacturer's instructions for more information. As per OSHA, the free
fall distance should be limited to less than 6 ft., when the personal fall arrest system is used along with the equipment
mentioned in this manual. Additionally, the fall arrest force also should be less than 1800 lbs. (8 kN). Ensure the
carabiner cannot cross-gate load (load against the gate rather than along the backbone of the carabiner). KStrong
recommends use of KStrong energy absorbing lanyards along with anchors mentioned in this manual, to ensure that
the maximum fall arrest force does not exceed 1800 lbs. (8 kN), and for the proper functioning of the system.
If the equipment has been subjected to forces of fall arrest, in the event of a fall, then the equipment should be
immediately removed from service. Contact KStrong regarding any queries related to this.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Environmental hazards may include the following, but are not limited to:
Ÿ Corrosive Environments
Ÿ Sharp Edges
Ÿ Moving Machinery and Vehicles

Ÿ Fall Clearance: There should be sufficient
clearance below the user to allow the system
to arrest a fall so as to prevent the user from
striking the ground or any other obstruction.
The clearance required is dependent upon
the following factors:
Ÿ Restraint: The strength requirement of anchorages which are selected for restraint and travel restraint systems
is min. of 1000 lbs. (4.5 kN) static load applied in the directions permitted by the system. If more than one restraint
and travel restraint system is attached to anchorage, then the 1000 lbs. shall be multiplied by the number of
systems attached to the anchorage to determine the min. strength requirement.
Arrest Systems (PFAS) shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms. They
should be capable of withstanding a minimum load of 5000 lbs. (23 kN) per user attached, or should be designed,
installed and used as part of a complete PFAS which maintains a safety factor of at least two. Rating of the
anchorage should always be done under the supervision of a qualified person.
Ÿ Work Positioning: the structure to which the work positioning system (WPS) is attached must be able to sustain
a static load of min. 3000 lbs. (13.3 kN), applied in the directions permitted by the work positioning system. Or, it
should be able to sustain two times the potential impact load, whichever is greater; see 1926.502. However, if
more than one work positioning system is attached to an anchorage, then the strength mentioned above must be
multiplied by the number of WPS attached to the anchorage.
Ÿ Free Fall: As per ANSI Z359.1 the personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment must be rigged in such a
way that the free fall does not exceed 6 ft. (1.8 m), and as per ANSI Z359.13, the free fall should not exceed 12 ft.
Restraint systems must be rigged in such a way that no vertical free fall is possible. Work positioning systems are
required to be rigged in a way that the free fall
does not exceed 2 ft. (0.6 m). Personal riding
systems must be rigged so that there is no
vertical free fall possible. Climbing systems
must be rigged so that free fall is less than 18
inches (46 cm). Rescue systems must be
rigged in such a way that there is no vertical
free fall. Contact KStrong for any further
information needed.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF FALL ARREST SYSTEM AND REQUIREMENTS
Ÿ The KStrong cross arm straps are meant for use by ONE person only. The capacity of the KStrong cross arm
straps is up to 310 lbs. (140 kg) hence, the combined weight (clothes, tools, shoes etc.) of a person using this
equipment should not be more than 310 lbs. It is important to ensure that all the components in the system are
rated to a capacity which is appropriate to the application. Only one personal protective system should be
connected to an anchor at any point in time.
Ÿ Rescue: The minimum strength of the anchorage selected for rescue should be such that it is capable of
sustaining a static load of min. 3000 lbs. (13.3 kN) applied in the direction permitted by the system. To determine
the strength requirement of the anchorage if more than one rescue system is attached, then multiply 3000 lbs.
(13.3 kN) by the number of the systems attached to the anchorage.
It is important to consider the below mentioned limitations before using or installing this equipment.

If the only available anchorage is situated below the attachment on the harness; and if there is a risk of fall, then it
is essential to use a lanyard with a properly rated energy absorber. It is important to ensure that there is sufficient
fall clearance below the user, before using a shock absorbing lanyard. If the weight of a wearer is 220 lbs. and the
fall factor is two, we can calculate the fall clearance (which will be equal to the stopping distance H (2L+ 5.74 ft.) +
an additional distance of 3.28 ft.
PERIODIC EXAMINATION
IF USED NEAR CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Ÿ Swing Falls: Swing falls occurs when the position of the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a
fall occurs. In such a case if a fall were to occur, it will result in pendulum swing of the fall victim and may also
cause them to strike nearby objects with a force. This may cause serious injury or even death. Such swing falls
may be minimized by ensuring that the anchorage is directly overhead, and by working as close to the anchorage
point as possible. Swing falls will substantially increase the fall clearance required when a SRL or other variable
length connecting subsystems are used.
In corrosive environments or in areas near the seawater, metallic connectors, hooks and anchorages have a greater
chance of corrosion and rusting. Hence, the frequency of their inspection must be altered so as to check their
functioning and performance more frequently.
When connecting an energy absorbing lanyard to the dorsal attachment D-ring of the harness, connect only the
shock-pack end of the lanyard to the D-ring. The other end of the lanyard is connected to the anchorage point.
A lifeline should never be connected to a connector using a knot. Also, never tie-back a connector on to a lifeline or the
lanyard. Use a spliced end termination and a thimble to attach a connector to a synthetic rope lifeline. Connectors which
are required to attach to wire rope lifelines must be attached to a thimble on a formed eye termination of the wire rope. It
is important to ensure that the termination is secured properly by swaging the ends of the wire rope by following proper
procedures, before the thimble is connected to a connector.
IMPORTANT POINTS FOR SUBSYSTEM ASSEMBLIES
While making connections, ensure that all connectors are fully closed and locked.
The user must always keep the instructions provided with the product. Take the information from the markings on the
product and enter this information in the identification sheet. To ensure the safety of the user, it is essential to check the
condition of the equipment through periodic examinations of the product. This equipment must be examined by a
qualified person at least once every six months, strictly complying with the manufacturer's instructions. Also, record the
previous check on the attached sheet. If the equipment is in heavy usage or is used in a harsh environment, then the
frequency of inspection should be increased in accordance with the regulations. Check also that the markings on the
product are legible.

WARNING
If the ends of the lifelines are not spliced or swaged properly by following the proper methods, then this may result in the
termination to give away when the connector connected to them is subjected to a force. KStrong shall not be held
responsible for the consequences arising out of this.
WARNING
Knots should never be used for load bearing end terminations, since the presence of knots significantly reduces the
strength of a lifeline. See ANSI Z359.1 for more details.
WARNING
It is important to ensure that the connecting elements of the connectors are compatible in size and shape, while making
a connection with the hooks and carabiners. Never connect a hook to a hook, or a carabiner to a carabiner, or a
carabiner to a hook. Also make sure not to connect a connector to any element that may cause the hook or carabiner
material to distort/ abrade or wear out.
KStrong does not guarantee against subassemblies made using products that are not manufactured by
KStrong, and is not responsible for the consequences arising out of the same.
WARNING
KStrong personal fall arrest system consists of a full body harness, a connecting lanyard and an anchorage system, in
its simplest form. The anchors mentioned in this manual provide a complete attachment system to the other
components of personal fall arrest system. The anchor must not only withstand the impact of fall arrest forces in the
event of a fall, but it must also hold the victim of a fall in place until the time of the rescue operation is conducted. Hence,
it is extremely important to conduct a proper check of all the components of a personal fall arrest system before use. The
fall arrest system must be used only by a trained/ competent person.
FORMAL INSPECTION
KSTRONG ANCHOR INSTRUCTIONS
It is mandatory to have a detailed visual inspection of all the harnesses, lanyards, connectors etc. prior to each use. This
ensures that the equipment is in good condition and is operating correctly. If there are any doubts regarding the safe
state of the product or if the product has been used to arrest a fall, then immediately remove the equipment from service.
Contact KStrong for a qualified authorized repair center. Check on the back-shoulder straps of the harness for the fall
indicators which should be intact. If a fall indicator is found to be deployed, then the harness should be removed from use
immediately. Never attempt to repair or modify a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
LIMITATION OF USE OF KSTRONG ANCHORS
INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS OF PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM
It is mandatory that a competent person other than the user perform a formal inspection of the personal fall arrest
system and its components once at least every six months. This frequency should be altered on the basis of conditions
for use or exposure. The inspection results should be recorded in the inspection and maintenance log at the end of this
manual.
KStrong Anchors are to be used as part of personal fall arrest, restraint, rescue or work positioning system. Full body
harnesses, connectors, hooks, lanyards, etc. are designed in such a way that they work in sync with other elements of a
personal fall arrest system. While they are designed to arrest a fall from height they also minimize the impact load on the
wearer. KStrong recommends that only those components or sub systems of the personal fall arrest system which are
manufactured by KStrong, are used in combination. If other manufacturer's equipment are used, then they should be
ensured for compatibility by a qualified person only. If substitutions or replacements are made with non-approved
components of sub systems, then this may severely affect the compatibility of the equipment making the complete
system unsafe for use.

08
Do not attach more than one personal fall arrest system to the anchor point.
The anchorage end of the cross arm strap / wire rope sling must be kept as short as possible. Excess anchorage length
of cross arm strap / wire rope sling increases the length of a free fall.
KStrong cross arm straps and wire slings are designed to be used as a wrap around structural member like beams,
trusses, headers, etc. These structures should be strong enough to withstand a minimum load of 5000 lbs. Ensure that
the webbing of the cross arm straps does not come in contact with any sharp edges, rough structures, protruding nails
and fasteners, chemical and corrosive environment, petroleum products, heat sources, etc. All of these could cause
damage to the webbing, causing the cross arm strap to lose its strength. While the wire rope anchor slings can
withstand exposure to rough surfaces, their contact with sharp edges and rough surfaces should be kept to a minimum.
Before installing any anchor, it is important that a competent person verify that the underlying structure on which the
anchor will be installed is strong enough to withstand the impact of forces which will be experienced in the event of a fall.
WARNING
INSTALLATION OF KSTRONG CROSS ARM STRAPS
WARNING
PRE USE- INSPECTION CHECK OF THE CROSS ARM STRAPS
Inspect the anchor webbing strap for any cuts, frays, abrasion, puncture or contaminants. The D-ring to which the
attachment is made, should be thoroughly checked for cracks, bends, deformities, corrosion, cracks, cuts, elongation
etc. The D-ring should be perfectly round and should lay flat. Also inspect the stitching for any cuts, breaks or damages.
Thoroughly examine the inside of the webbing loops as well for any signs of damage. Thoroughly examine the wire rope
anchor slings for the presence of broken strands, frays, cuts, corrosion, rust, cracks, tears, abrasion, excessive
elongation, chemical attack, excessive wear, etc. Inspect ferrules for cracks or damage. The equipment should be
immediately removed from service if any of the above conditions are recognized.
Inspect all other components of the fall arrest, work positioning, rescue system that are to be used, as per the
manufacturer's instructions. Remove from use immediately if the equipment shows evidence of having arrested a fall,
or if it is unfit for further use. Do not attempt to repair the equipment on your own.

TRAINING
MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH THE ANCHORAGE CONNECTOR
To make connections with the anchorage connector of the straps/ slings, make sure to use only self-locking snap hooks
or carabiners. Do not use a knot to connect the anchorage to a life line. Do not loop the anchorage line or a lanyard
through the anchorage O-ring/D-ring, and tie back on itself, to connect with the lifeline or lanyard. Ensure that all
connections are compatible in shape, size, and strength. Never connect more than one personal protective system to a
single anchorage connector.
It is essential that the users of this type of equipment receive proper training and instruction, including detailed
procedures for the safe use of such equipment in their work application. ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, minimum requirements for
a comprehensive managed fall protection program, establishes guidelines and requirements for an employer's
managed fall protection program, including policies, duties and training; fall protection procedures; eliminating and
controlling fall hazards; rescue procedures; incident investigations; and evaluating program effectiveness.
MAINTENANCE, SERVICE AND STORAGE
Ÿ Additional maintenance and servicing procedure must be completed by an authorized service center only.
Ÿ Store Cross Arm Strap in a cool dry clean environment; away from direct sunlight. Avoid areas where there may
be the presence of chemical vapors. It is extremely important to thoroughly inspect the Cross Arm Strap after
extended storage.
Ÿ A Cross Arm Strap can be cleaned with water and a mild soap solution. However, if a Cross Arm Strap is excessively
dirty, or there is a build-up of material like paint, etc., then this may hamper the Cross Arm Strap from functioning
properly. In severe cases, the webbing may be degraded to a point where it weakens. In such a case, remove the
Cross Arm Strap from service. Never use bleach or bleach solutions to clean the Cross Arm Strap as this may
damage the webbing. Always dry the Cross Arm Strap by hanging to air dry. Do not force dry with heat. Hardware

INSTALLATION OF KSTRONG WIRE ROPE ANCHORAGE EXTENDER
(Models: UFA710003, UFA710004 and UFA710006)
Step 1: Select an overhead anchorage point. This point should be compatible to make
connection with the snap hook of the wire rope extender. Connect the snap hook of the
extender to this anchorage point.
Step 2: Allow the extender to hang vertically. Now use the O-ring at the termination of the
Extender to connect to the personal fall arrest system.
WARNING
The free fall distance may get extended because of the use of the anchorage extender. Hence,
the anchorage extender should always be connected making sure that the O-ring of the
extender lies overhead the user. This helps the free fall distance to be kept to a minimum.
