MAINTENANCE – PERIODIC & BEFORE EACH USE
All items of safety equipment which are in use shall be subjected to periodic inspection and servicing.
These regular scheduled inspections and servicing must be carried out by a competent person.
Procedures to be carried out before each use:
Feel and visually inspect anchors in the following ways for signs of deterioration.
- Inspect the cable for:
a) Cuts, distortion, excessive stretching.
b) Damage due to contact with chemicals, heat, corrosives or solvents.
c) Deterioration due to moisture, mildew or ultraviolet exposure.
d) Abrasions and excessive wear, especially where contact with hardware has occurred.
e) Discolouration from exposure to chemicals or prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light.
f) Rigidity resulting from overloading or the TempLink sustaining a fall.
- Inspect the tabs for:
a) Distortion as a result of a fall.
b) Missing tab, excessive wear, burring of the tabs.
c) Distortion around the tab which could indicate the TempLink has sustained a fall.
d) Free from dirt or other obstructions.
- Inspect the cable and tabs joining position for signs of wear.
- Inspect the “remove from service” date on product, the shelf life of this product does not exceed 10 years.
- The TEMPLINK 3000 anchor point has one energy absorbing stainless steel component. If this energy absorbing region is
expanded/distorted this will indicate the anchor point has arrested a fall and should be removed from service.
- Inspect the components of the anchor for corrosion, superficial surface marking is permitted while deeper corrosion or pitting
will require attention.
- Consult TempLink 3000 user/s for any additional situations that may have caused damage to the TempLink 3000.
- If the TempLink 3000 has sustained any of the above issues or any doubt exists remove the TempLink 3000 from service.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The first TempLink 3000 must be positioned in a location safely reached by a secured ladder or a manhole access point.
Access to inside the roof space is not required for installation purpose’s.
The building structure must be inspected for integrity and compliance in relation to relevant building codes.
The building construction must meet all requirements in regard to correct fitting and use of materials set by manufacturers.
Inspections must be undertaken of timber and metal structural components for signs of structural damage such as splits, water
damage, pest erosion and fixing issues.
Roof spaces to be accessed must not be over 30 degrees in pitch.
Metal Roof Sheeting with Metal Battens or Timber Battens
It is recommended the TempLink 3000 be installed to the crest of the roof sheeting profile, where this is not practical the
TempLink 3000 may be installed into the pan away from debris.
Metal roof sheet size must be a minimum of 0.42mm.
1. Remove six (6) of the existing roof screws along the batten line at the appropriate location for the TempLink 3000.
2. Place the cable section out along the roof sheeting, adjust the tabs to fit the roof profile and to line up with the existing
roofing screw holes.
3. Replace the six existing roofing screws with six (6) screws Size 14(g) -10(TPI) x 65 Hex Head Screws. Screw through each
tab and existing hole, securing to the batten under the roof sheeting.
DO NOT OVER TENSION SCREWS AS THIS WILL RESULT IN THREAD STRIPPING, TAB / STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
4. Ensure the screws are the correct length to engage the batten to eliminate over passing the thread into the blank part of
the screw. Screws must penetrate timber batten by at least 35mm.
Tile Roof with Timber Rafters
1. Remove existing roof tiles at the appropriate location for the TempLink 3000.
2. Place the cable section down the rafter and drill a 4.5mm pilot hole, (never attach to battens on tile roofs, always only attach
to suitable rafters).
3. Screw tabs to the rafter through the tab holes no less than 100mm apart using six (6) x Size 14(g) -10(TPI) x 65, Hex Head
Screws.
DO NOT OVER TENSION SCREWS AS THIS WILL RESULT IN THREAD STRIPPING, TAB / STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
4. Screws must penetrate timber batten by at least 35mm.
The SafetyLink TempLink 3000 anchor point is now ready for use, giving you an anchor point to attach to while installing the next
SafetyLink anchor point.
Removal of TempLink 3000
During removal you must ensure you are safe at all times.
1. Remove screws from the TempLink 3000 and remove TempLink 3000.
2. On tiled roofs replace the tiles and ensure a water tight seal is achieved.
3. On metal roofs replace the six (6) x Size 14(g) -10(TPI) x 65, Hex Head Screws to secure roof sheet and ensure a water
tight seal is achieved.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
A FALL RESCUE PLAN SHOULD BE DEVELOPED PRIOR TO USING SAFETYLINK EQUIPMENT.
Persons working at heights should not work alone.
It is critical that before using any SafetyLink Systems a fall rescue plan is in place for any persons suspended mid-air following
a fall. Serious injury or death can occur in a matter of minutes, particularly if a person’s movement or breathing is restricted or
loss of consciousness has occurred. In accordance with your fall rescue plan and appropriate first aid procedures it is essential
to remove the person from the suspended position as quickly as possible.
In accordance with AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 clause 9.5 - EQUIPMENT WHICH HAS ARRESTED A FALL OR SHOWS A DEFECT
Any piece of equipment including both personal and permanently installed items, which has been used to arrest a fall or which
shows any defect during operator or periodic inspection shall be withdrawn from service immediately and a replacement
obtained if necessary. A label indicating the condition or defect should be attached to the equipment, and it should be examined
by a competent person who will decide whether the equipment is to be destroyed or repaired if necessary and returned to
service. In the latter case, details of any repair shall be documented and a copy given to the operator.
