Overview
You have just purchased your very own Palmer Safety Fall Protection Cable Horizontal Lifeline System (Cable HLL).
This manual must be read and understood in its entirety, whereas any specied training course on fall protection can be
utilized to provide the necessary knowledge.
All of these instructions need to be made available to the user of the equipment. The user needs to understand how
the Cable HLL works and how to use it safely. They also need a basic understanding of fall safety equipment used in
combination with the Cable HLL, such as harnesses and cables.
Safety Standards
All applicable OSHA 1926 Subpart M, OSHA 1910, ANSI Z359.6-2016, and ANSI A10.32-2012 standards for fall
protection are followed when this product is used as instructed. Standards are regulated depending on the type of work
being done. You can review of all regulations at regulatory agencies for more information on fall protection systems,
including any of the state-specic regulations.
Worker Denitions
NOTE: It is important to know the denition of those who work near or who may be exposed to fall hazards.

Qualied Person: A person with accreditation for this position who has sufcient experience or standing in their industry.
They are responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of fall prevention and rescue procedures.
Competent Person: A fall safety coordinator is a person who has been trained to manage all aspects of a company’s fall
safety program. This includes the actual regulation, the management thereof and its application. A person tasked with
identifying existing or foreseeable hazards. They have the power to temporarily stop work to address any concerns they
might have.
Authorized Person: An employee who’s area of responsibility includes areas where potential or existing fall hazards
exist. These employees need to be trained to understand what it takes to work safely around these hazards.
Qualied or Competent person on jobsite is responsible for training and inspection of HLL system. Please contact
your local Palmer Safety Specialist if you have questions or need training. We can provide training on the jobsite.
Applications
WARNING: Using the equipment in ways other than its intended purpose may result in severe injury or death. Maximum
1 attachment per connection point.
Fall Arrest: The Cable HLL System, which can be used in Personal Fall Arrest (PFAS) applications, will hold up to
two people at a time when used with the appropriate supporting structure. The supporting structure must also withstand
loads applied in the advised directions of at least 5000 lbs. Maximum freefall height is 6 feet, or up to 12 feet when in
combination with a harness that has been tested for such use. The D-ring needs to be in the dorsal position.
Restraint: The Cable HLL can be utilized in Restraint systems. Restraints are used to ensure workers do not get too close
to the edge of any fall hazards. Up to 4 people can use a single Cable HLL System at a time when working in restraints.
Make sure to account for the full length of the lanyard or SRL that you plan on using. The structure needs to guarantee
that it can withstand loads that are at least 1,000 lbs in every direction. No item shall be allowed to fall without restraint.
Restraint systems can only be used on surfaces where slopes are up 4/12.
D-rings that can used: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
TOTAL user weight capacity range (including person, clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.
Limits
Fall Clearance: There should be enough clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before the person strikes
the ground or an obstacle. When guring out how far people might fall, there needs to be a safety buffer of 2 feet. People
also need to consider the distance they are slowing down at, how tall they are, the length of their lanyard or SRL. They
should also think about harness stretch and any other factors that apply.
Diagram shown below is a fall clearance calculation EXAMPLE ONLY.

Compatibility: To avoid interference when connecting Cable HLL Systems, there must be enough space between the
hook and its attachment point. This is known as “rolling out” and can cause the gate on the hook to inadvertently open
and release. All cables must be compatible with Cable HLL and must be approved by a Competent Person. All connectors
should be self-closing and self-locking, and should withstand a minimum load of 3,600 lbs.

A. Two or more connectors should never be attached to a single D-ring.
B. Never attach a connector that could result in a load on its gate.
C. Connectors should not be connected in a false engagement. It should be visually conrmed 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.
D. Connectors should not be connected to each other.
E. Connectors should not be connected directly to the webbing or to the rope lanyard or tie back, unless
specically allowed by the manufacturer.

F. 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 under sized or irregular in
shape, then this may allow 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. See Diagram 2.
G. Do not use connectors on an anchorage object as shown in gure A to F.
Correct Anchorage Positioning: This chart details allowable working zones required to reduce risk of swing falls and
improper side loading. ALWAYS adhere to information specied by chart.

For example, if the anchorage connector is 6’ from the leading edge (Y), the working distance (X) is 8’ in each direction
from the perpendicular, which translates to a 53° working angle.
Swing Falls: When using or installing any anchors, think about eliminating swing fall hazards. Swing falls happen when
the anchor point is not directly over the object being secured. Always make your anchors as close to perpendicular to
where you are securing something as possible. Swing falls can increase the chances of serious injury or death if there is a
fall.
As displayed in the following diagrams, there are danger zones when using a single HLL, and in order to be safe use
multiple HLLs.

the connecting Ring.
Small ring or other non-compatibly shaped element
3. The gate opens allowing
