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 signicantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or
death in the event of a fall (See Figure 2).

Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed
to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their
gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented.
Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least
5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other
system components (See Figure 4). Do not use equipment that is not compatible.
Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (See Figure 3). Connectors
must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and
carabiners are required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze
if you have any questions about compatibility.
FIGURE 3 - UNINTENTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT
NOTE: SOME SPECIALTY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
CONTACT SAFEWAZE WITH QUESTIONS.
FIGURE 2
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook
or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or
carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or carabiner presses against
the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This allows the snap hook or
carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.

7.0 Making Connections
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/or
twist lock. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not
use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specied in each product’s user’s instructions. See gure 4 for examples of
inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
• To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
• In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back
hooks).
NOTE: Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size D-rings or
similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or
rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is
equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify
that it is appropriate for your application.
• In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or
carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual conrmation seems to be fully
engaged to the anchor point.
• To each other.
• By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as
allowed for Tie Back models.
• To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will
not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
• In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
FIGURE 4 - INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS
• NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a
load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with
ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate.
Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.

Use of Energy Absorbing Lanyards
Fall Clearance Requirements when utilizing a 6’ Energy Absorbing Lanyard with the
HLL system are indicated in the fall clearance table (Section 10, page 15) of this
manual. The fall clearance distances indicated are the total required from the properly
installed HLL system to the next lower level or obstruction. The user should ensure
that the distance between the installed lifeline and the next lower level is at least equal
to, or greater than the values given in Section 10, page 15 of this manual prior to use of
the HLL system. Failure to calculate proper fall clearances prior to use of the system
could result in serious injury or death.
Note: Never use combinations of components or subsystems that may a󰀨ect, or
interfere with the safe function of each other.
Use of Self-Retracting Devices
Fall Clearance Requirements when utilizing an SRL with the HLL system in an
overhead installation are indicated in the fall clearance table (Section 10.1, page 16) of
this manual. When using Personal SRLs with the HLL system, where the
installation could possibly be below dorsal D-ring Height, refer to the fall clearance
table (Section 10.2, page 17) of this manual. The user must ensure that the
Personal SRL being utilized is not connected to the HLL at a distance below the dorsal
D-ring, which exceeds the maximum allowed as specied by the SRL manufacturer.
When calculating fall clearance distances, the user must add the total deection of
the HLL system during a fall event, to the total deceleration distance of the SRL being
used. The combination of the system deection, and the deceleration distance of the
SRL, when added to the Harness Stretch of the full body harness, worker’s height, and
Safety Factor equals the minimum required fall clearance. Failure to calculate proper
fall clearances prior to use of the system could result in serious injury or death.

FIGURE 7 - STANDARD ENERGY ABSORBER INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
Cross Arm Strap System Installation with Integral Energy Absorber
Step 1. Install Anchorage Connector
Wrap the Cross Arm Strap around the anchorage as many times as necessary to
achieve desired length, ensuring strap is wrapped at least twice around the end
anchorage. A minimum of two wraps around the end anchorage helps prevent
sliding of the anchor straps during use. Once desired length is achieved, pass the
small D-ring of the anchor strap through the large D-ring and connect the system
to the small D-ring. Only connect to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm Strap.
Other approved anchorage connectors which meet the 5,000 lbs. strength requirement,
may be used in place of the supplied FS810-6 Cross Arm Straps. See anchorage
connector user instructions for proper installation.
9.0 Installation and Use
Before Each Use
Users of personal fall arrest systems must have a rescue plan in place if the user
cannot rescue themselves, as well as the means to carry out the rescue.
The user must read and understand these instructions, as well as the User
Instructions for every component/subsystem of the personal fall arrest system.
The entire Safewaze Cable Horizontal Lifeline system, and its subsystems, must be in-
spected prior to each use for wear, damage, or other deterioration. All snaphooks and
carabiners must be able to self-close and lock. Check the operation of self
retracting lifelines by pulling smoothly on the lifeline, then pull sharply on the lifeline to
engage the locking mechanism. All webbing and cable must be inspected for tears,
cuts, fraying, abrasion, unsplicing, discoloration, or other signs of wear or damage.
Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. All cable
splices should be secure. System must be properly tensioned. No load indicators
shall be deployed. Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must
be immediately removed from service, in accordance with the requirements of OSHA
29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.
Step 2. Connect Integral Energy Absorber to End Anchorage
Connect the Integral Energy Absorber to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm Strap using
one of the supplied carabiners. Connect the tensioner to the opposite anchorage point
(cross arm strap) via the other supplied carabiner.
