INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment.
Read This Instruction Manual Carefully Before Using
This Equipment.
1. A user must be of sound mind and body to properly and safely use this
equipment in normal and emergency situations. Users must have a
physician ensure they are clear of any medical conditions that may affect
the proper and safe use of this equipment in normal and emergency
situations.
2. Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in
accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 in the safe
use of the system and its components.
3. Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint
systems. The anchorage must have the strength capable of supporting a
static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at least
5,000-lbf (22kN) in the absence of certification.
4. The user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the maximum
dynamic forces exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall to a
maximum of 8 kN (1800-lbf). In the EU these forces must be limited to 6
kN (1350-lbf).
5. Use of this product must be approved by an engineer or other qualified
person to be compatible with any and all structural & operational
characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be
connected to this anchorage connector.
6. The anchorage connector must be inspected prior to each use for wear,
damage, and other deterioration. If defective components are found the
anchorage connector must be immediately removed from service in
accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and
1926.502.
7. The anchorage connector should be positioned in such a way that
minimizes the potential for falls and the potential fall distance during use.
The complete fall protection system must be planned (including all
components, calculating fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.
8. A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place
that provides the prompt rescue of users in the event of a fall, or assures
that users are able to rescue themselves.
9. After a fall occurs the anchorage connector must be removed from service
and destroyed immediately.

CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
Malta Dynamics equipment must be coupled only to compatible connectors that
are suitable to your application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size,
shape and strength. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. OSHA 29
CFR 1926.502 prohibits the use of snap hooks to engage to objects unless the
following requirements are met:
•Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.
•Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.
•Two snaphooks connected to each other.
•A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.
•A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
•Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in
relation to the snaphook dimensions that would allow the snaphook
keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.
Use of a non-locking snap hook can result in rollout (a process by which a snap
hook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or the
object to which it is coupled (ANSI Z359.0- 2012). Malta Dynamics connectors
(snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specied in each
product’s user’s instructions.
Avoid the following types of connections:
• Two or more snap hooks or carabiners attached to one D-Ring.
• A snap hook connected to its integral lanyard.
• A snap hook connected to a horizontal lifeline.
•Connection in a manner that results in a load on the gate. NOTE: Large throat
opening snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-Rings or
similar objects. This could result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-Ring
twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on structural
elements such as rebar or cross members that are not shaped to capture the
gate of the hook.
•False engagement connections, where protruding features of the snap hook
or carabiner may catch on the anchor and seem fully engaged to the anchor
point. Always conrm engagement.
• Connection to snap hooks or carabiners.
•Direct connection to webbing lanyard, webbing loop, rope lanyard or tie-back
