Installation Of Temporary Horizontal Lifeline
HLL3001 :
Step 1: The receiving structure onto which lifeline is to be installed must be
strong enough to hold an impact load of more than 5,000 lbs.Fig. 01
Step 2: Installation of rope into the tensioner:
a) Loosen the knob to slide open the housing cover plate.
Fig. 02
b) Pull back the Hockey and Lock Body so as to create adequate gap to
insert rope around the pulley. Please refer attached image for the
direction of rope insertion. Fig. 03
c) Slide back the cover plate and ensure that hole on cover plates match
with spacer on the fixed cover plate. Fig. 04
d) Once aligned, re-tighten the knob to the fullest to hold the cover
plates in position. Fig. 05
Step 3 : With help of a carabiner attached to the swivel connector of lifeline
connect the rope to a suitable anchorage point. (In case of any
unavailability of anchor point use Malta Dynamics Cross Arm Strap
to create one.) Fig. 01
Step 4: Now connect the tensioner to the second anchorage point along with
tension indicator by attaching a carabiner to the hokey eye of tension
indicator. Fig. 06
Step 5 : Pull the initial slack of rope by hand and ensure that rope is seated
properly in the groove of pulley. Fig. 07
Step 6 : Use an open end spanner of 0.944 inches provided along with
tensioner to give appropriate tension to the lifeline. Plate of Tension
indicator will start to rotate freely once the required tension has been
achieved in lifeline. Now, O rings/ pass through carriages can be
used as mobile anchors for the workers. Fig. 08
Step 7 : To uninstall the lifeline, push the lock backwards in order to pull back
the hockey. Hockey will release the pulley and allow rope to loosen.

PRODUCT SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
WARNING: Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point
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 5,000 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 5,000 lbs No free fall is permitted.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130 lbs - 310 lbs.
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 Fig. 10.
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.
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.
