SideWalk 30’,60’, 100’ Rope Horizontal Lifeline Systems
General Information
The HORIZONTAL SAFETY LINES have been tested to the standards described in ANSI Z359.1-1992, CSA
Z259.13-04 and certified by third party certification.
The HSL is for two operative max use only, a full body harness complying to ANSI Z359.1-1992, and CSA
Z259.10-05 and shock absorbing lanyard complying to ANSI Z359.1-1992/OSHA 1926.502 and CSA Z259.11-05
pr a retractable lifeline, complying to ANSI Z359.1 and CSA Z259.2.2, must be used when operating with the
Horizontal Safety Line. Lanyard connections onto the Horizontal Safety Line, usually carabiners, must be smooth,
and free of any burrs, or sharp edges. It is important that anchor points are sufficient to withstand load
requirements indicated in table on page 3.
Important Safety Points about SWHR-XXX
1. Thoroughly inspect all components before and after fitting.
2. Do not use additional bars or levers to induce a higher tension in line.
3. Ensure that harness/lanyard attachments, carabiners, etc, are free from sharp edges, or burrs.
4. Ensure that anchor points are designed as indicated on page 3.
5. Ensure that when using attachment straps, the sleeve is suitably positioned to prevent any abrasion or cutting.
Inspection and Examination
Keep these instructions, with the Horizontal Lifeline System to aid in future inspection and examination.
The equipment must be visually examined by a competent person when delivered to site/works, and
thereafter at regular intervals, particular attention should be paid to the following: METALWARE: Inspect for signs
of damage/distortion, and that all moving parts and springs are fully operational, and rope for wear and abrasion.
Tensioning the Lifeline
When installing, connect as drawing, follow 0246-HD instructions (Page5) to properly tension the cable.
Expanded detail is on Page 2. Using Rope loop on one end, put carabiners per drawing, and then pull cable hand
tight through the tensioner on the other end. Pull cable snug, do not over tighten. See drawings for rope threading
through tensioner. Follow instruction on the drawing Page 2 for proper assembly of the lifeline. Use Table 1,
Table 2, and Table 3 on Pages 3 and 4 to determine the appropriate clearances for one and two workers, and the
proper application of this lifeline. Torque settings: 60-64 ft lbs torque, or Tension load: 140-150 lbs force, or 3/8””
exposed yellow on SWPC-17 tensioner, optional item.

Tensioning the Rope
After connecting rope system as shown in drawing: pull
rope through the Tensioner 0246-HD until snug and
hand taut. Using one of three methods, you can set the
tension as follows by turning the tension nut with rod,
or torque wrench in clockwise direction until proper
tension is achieved:
-Using torque wrench, turn Torque Nut until 60 ft/lbs of
torque is reached on wrench indictor, OR,
-Using a tension indicator you supply, set the tension
on the rope system to between 140-150 lbs of force,
OR,
-Using the SWPC-17, optional unit as tension indica-
tor, pull the rope tight until 3/8” of yellow is showing on
the tension rod of the SWPC–17, indicating correct
tension.

The free fall distance must be
determined and added to the value
from the table The free fall distance
can be determined by using the for-
mula:
FF = L + D – H
FF = Free Fall
L = the length of the lanyard.
D = the height of the worker’s D-ring
from the walking-working surface. This
can normally be assumed to be 5 ft.
H = Height of the HLL from the
walking-working surface. Please note
that the height of the HLL is not neces-
sarily the height of the anchorage.
Consider the sag of the cable.
For example, a 121-ft. span of
SWHR is 7 ft. above the walking-working
surface, and 2 workers will be using the
lifeline with 6-ft. shock absorbing lanyards.
Calculating the free fall: The free fall is calculated
by using the equation.
(6 ft (lanyard). + 5 ft.( D-ring height) – 7 ft (above the
walking working surface) = 4 ft. free fall)

SideWalk 30’,60’,100’ Rope Horizontal Lifeline Systems
1.1 Verify that the anchorages meet
the requirements per OSHA 1926 or
as described in these instructions.
1.2 Verify that the clearance below
the walking working surface is ade-
quate. (See previous Table 1 & 2.)
1.3 If the above parameters are ac-
ceptable and consistent with the ap-
plication, proceed with the installa-
tion.
1.4 Visually inspect the SWHR-XXX
before every use by user.
1.5 If needed, attach appropriate an-
chorage connectors to the anchor-
ages according the instruction pro-
vided with the anchorage connector.
Make sure that the anchorage con-
nectors are installed at the same ele-
vation and there is no more than 5
degrees of slope in the line.
1.6 Connect the end of the SWHR-
XXX with the spliced eye to one an-
chorage using the carabiner and
0247 setup as shown below.
1.7 Connect the 0246-HD eye of the
SWHR-XXX to the other anchorage
using the carabiner provided.
1.8 Open 0246-HD to allow pulling
the back spliced end of lifeline
through the 0246-HD by hand until
the slack has been removed and is
hand taut. Close unit.
Installation & adjustment of the 0246-HD Tensioner
1.9 Make sure release lever is in the
closed position.
1.10 Use a torque wrench to rotate the
0247-HD nut clockwise to a maximum
force of 60ft-lb. The recommended ten-
sion force on the line is 140-150 lb. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
1.11 Utilize the backsplice or use a knot
tied in end of rope to prevent rope from
coming back through the tensioner.
Note: The buyer is responsible for
ensuring proper strength and reliability of
anchorage points and for proper installa-
tion.
