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)
Fall Clearance Diagram
FIGURE 1 - FALL CLEARANCE CALCULATION DIAGRAM
Fall Clearance: There must be su󰀩cient clearance below the anchorage connector to
arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall

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 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 must be ANSI Z359.12 compliant with a double locking
gate. 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).
• 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.
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.
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.

7.1 Connections
Number of Users:
Maximum four users at one time with a capacity up to 310 lbs. per worker including
tools and equipment.
Maximum two users at one time with a capacity up to 420 lbs. per worker including
tools and equipment.
Full Body Harnesses
Only Full Body Harnesses may be used with a SafeWaze 4 Person Temporary
Horizontal Lifeline.
Use of Shock Absorbing Lanyards
Fall Clearance Requirements when utilizing a 6’ Shock Absorbing Lanyard with the HLL
system are indicated in the fall clearance table in Section 10, page 14 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 13 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 SRD with the HLL system in an
overhead installation are indicated in the fall clearance table in Section 10.1, page 14
of this manual. When using Personal SRD’s with the HLL system, where the
installation could possibly be below dorsal D-ring Height, refer to the fall clearance
table in Section 10.2, page 15 of this manual. The user must ensure that the
Personal SRD 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 SRD 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 decelaration distance of the SRD being
used. The combination of the system deection, and the decelaration distance of the
SRD, 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.

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 User Instructions, as well as the User
Instructions for every component/subsystem of the personal fall arrest system.
The entire Safewaze 4 Person Temporary Horizontal Lifeline system, and its
subsystems, must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other
]deterioration. All snaphooks and carabiners must be able to self-close and lock.
Check the operation of self retracting lanyards by pulling smoothly on the lifeline, then
pull sharply on the lifeline to engage the locking mechanism. All webbing and rope
must be inspected for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, unsplicing, discoloration, or other
signs of wear and damage. Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not
visibly damaged. All rope splices should be secure. System must be properly
tensioned. Users must ensure that no load indicators have been deployed on their
connecting device(s) that are intended for use with the HLL. 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 Thimble End of Rope
Connect the swivel on the thimbled end of the rope lifeline, to the small D-ring of the
Cross Arm Strap using the supplied carabiner. Connect the tensioner to the opposite
anchorage point (cross arm strap) via the other supplied carabiner.
Step 3. Connect Tensioner
Rope is pre-laced through tensioner for ease of use. Do not attempt to disassemble
the tensioner.
Step 5. Tension the System
Ensure the locking lever is in the Open position (See Figure 8B). Pull the spliced end
of the rope through the tensioner by hand until the slack has been removed from the
system. Close the locking lever in the closed position so that it is engaged
(See Figure 7A). Use a spanner / adjustable wrench to turn Tensioning Nut in a
counter clockwise direction to tension the system (See Figure 7C-E) This lifeline
requires a specic amount of sag (based on span length) to function properly. Figure
10 on Page 12 indicates the proper sag for the system based upon span lengths.
Step 4. Ensure Plate Bolt Knob is Securely Tightened
Rotate the Locking Knob in a clockwise direction after tensioning rope until securely
tightened (See Figure 7F). Ensure Plate Bolt Knob is tightened prior to each use.

FIGURE 6 - CROSS ARM STRAP INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
Cross Arm Strap System Installation
Step 1. Install Anchorage Connector
Wrap the Cross Arm Strap around the anchorage and pass the small D-ring end
through the large D-ring end. Wrap 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. Only connect to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm Strap. Refer to the
Fall Clearance Charts (Page 12, 13, and 14) for installation height variances.
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.
