RIGID LIFELINES CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNING STATEMENT
1. Read, understand, and follow the manual, assembly drawings, and warnings provided with your system
before beginning installation.
2. This manual, and any other instructions, must be provided to the users of this equipment. The user must
understand the equipment’s proper use and limitations.
3. A fall event can result in serious injury or death. This equipment, when used properly, reduces the chances of
those outcomes.
4. Always perform a hazard analysis before use that will identify impact hazards, swing hazards, or any other
hazards that may exist. Address and correct all hazards before use.
5. Always have a written rescue plan that defines who will rescue a fallen worker, what equipment will be used,
and optimum rescue response time. If the same system will be used for rescue, a minimum of a two-man
system must be specified.
6. Follow all current requirements of ANSI Z359 (or CSA Z259 in Canada).
7. Each component and system must be employed and maintained in accordance with all OSHA and ANSI standards.
8. Per OSHA and ANSI (or CSA Z259 in Canada) requirements, designate a competent person who can fulfill
obligations of all regulations.
9. Note the maximum number of users and weight capacities are listed on a label on the system. Exceeding the
capacities listed on this label can result in serious injury or death.
10. Always check for overhead hazards, such as power lines, trees, overhead structures, or walls, before using or
moving system.
11. Any component replacement, addition, or change to any portion of the system must be evaluated by a
Qualified Person as defined by OSHA standards.
12. Never use this system for material handling.
13. Never use the system with scaffolding.
14. Never use the system alone without a monitor. Use the buddy system when using fall protection. The monitor,
or “buddy,” does not need to be attached to the system, but just nearby supervising.
15. Consult with a qualified person for minimum fitness requirements for workers. Determination of minimum
fitness levels of workers prior to use of system is by others.
16. For mobile systems—It is the responsibility of the user and their management’s Competent Person to
determine that the system’s base is level, the masts are plumb, and that the entire, leveled system is stable
before every use.
17. For movable track systems—Always use the system in work spaces that allow you to move the system’s
runway as close as possible to the center of the work area.
18. Before each use, inspect the system for bent, broken, cracked, or missing components.
19. A competent person must thoroughly inspect the system annually and after each fall event.
20. There should never be any type of loading past the end stops for any reason.
21. When connecting track sections on runway systems, track splice and truss splice plates are required. For
trussed track, splice joint centers must be within maximum 48 inches of the hanger support centers unless
otherwise specified. For plain track, splice track centers must be within maximum18 inches of the hanger
support centers unless otherwise specified.
22. Systems with flush clamp hangers do not require sway bracing. However, all systems mounted to the ceiling
must be laterally and longitudinally braced with bracing provided by others.

i Rigid Lifelines®Freestanding Swing Arm AnchorTrack™System | 1-800-869-2080 1-800-869-2080 | Rigid Lifelines®Freestanding Swing Arm Anchor Track™System ii
23. If supplied, all drive systems are chain driven, and as a result, will experience some backlash in the drive
assembly. Although backlash cannot be fully eliminated, it can be reduced by tightening the drive chain.
Torque limiters, if supplied, require special attention. Most drive issues result from improper torque limiter
adjustment or installation.
24. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that the system and components will work in and are acceptable
for their specific application and environment.
25. For foundation-mounted systems, bracing is not required for non-seismic applications. However, if any sway
is perceived as undesirable, lateral bracing can be installed to the system by others. To achieve desired rigidity
for a specific application, Rigid Lifelines®recommends consulting a professional engineer in your area to
satisfy all codes and ordinances. For foundation-mounted systems, chemical anchor bolts supplied by others
are required and must provide approximately 7000-pound pull-out force. More accurate pull-out forces are
available upon request.
26. Engineering of any attachment points must be done by others.
27. Component appearances and dimensions shown are approximate and subject to change without notice. All
catalog dimensions are developed using standard components for the spans and capacities. Substitution of
optional trolleys or other components will affect certain dimensions.
28. All Rigid Lifelines Anchor Track™Systems meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI requirements.
29. Never load the track at an angle greater than specified in the system’s user manual.
30. Never use the system with the attachment point below the D-Ring of the harness.
31. Only the following self-retracting lanyard (SRL) design specifications are acceptable for use on Rigid Lifelines
Anchor Track Systems:
a ) 900-pound maximum average arresting force (MAAF)
b ) 4.5 feet-per-second lock up speed
c ) Disk or drum braking mechanism
d ) Wire rope SRL’s can be used for indoor or outdoor applications
e ) Fabric or web SRL’s can be used only for indoor applications
32. The following energy-absorbing lanyards are not acceptable: rip-stitch packs, shock packs, or stretchable
energy.
33. Choose the shortest length SRL that will allow the workers to perform their job function. The shortest length
SRL will reduce total fall distance by reducing “cable cinching” on the internal SRL pulley. Fabric lanyards
stretch under load. The longer the lanyard, the longer the stretch.
34. Never use metallic cables or metallic SRL’s around electrical power sources.
35. Only an ANSI (or CSA in Canada) full-body harness is acceptable for use on Rigid Lifelines Anchor Track
Systems.
36. Never use body belts on this system.
37. Never add additional carabiners, D-Rings, shackles, or connecting hardware to this system.
38. On Traveling Bridge Anchor Track Systems, always position the bridge(s) directly overhead of worker(s) at all
times.
39. If a boom is provided, never apply a lateral load at the boom tip.
40. Never deviate from the above unless you have written permission and authorization from Rigid Lifelines.

Follow the Inspection Checklists in this manual: review the
first checklist before each use and the second checklist for
after a fall event and annual inspections.
NEVER EXCEED 30 DEGREES OFF-PLUMB (OFF-CENTER)
LOADING.
Portable Base Swing Arm Only
Do not move the system while workers are still connected
to it; doing so may result in serious injury or death.
Do not use the system on an incline; only use the system
on surfaces that are firm and level. NEVER place the system
near a ledge.
Before moving system, ensure that the system capacity
doesn’t exceed the forklift capacity.
Portable Base Swing Arm Only (Continued)
Before moving system, use the boom lock to secure the
track arm weldment to keep it from rotating.
Forks must be 72 inches or longer to move the system.
NEVER exceed five miles per hour while moving.
When moving the system, the upper portable base must
remain bolted to the mast and track arm weldment. If your
system requires stacked portable bases, the lower bases
may be unbolted and moved separately.
Only use portable base(s) on 3,000 PSI or greater
concrete. Before using portable base(s) on macadam
surfaces, contact a Technical Sales Support Specialist at
800-869-2080.
This system must be used with an ANSI-rated self-retracting lanyard (SRL).
If the system is used outdoors, it is highly recommended that a steel cable SRL with
heavy-duty housing be used for improved durability against UV radiation and moisture.
A web strap ANSI-rated SRL may be acceptable for use as long as a Competent Person has
evaluated the situation and determined that there are no factors present that can have an
immediate negative impact on the integrity of the SRL’s webbing material AND that the
Competent Person inspects the condition of the SRL’s webbing and housing prior to each use.
Completely retracting the SRL after each use (e.g., using a
retrieval tagline) is essential: otherwise, the SRL’s internal
spring remains under tension, and it quickly loses its ability
to arrest a freefall properly.
Retrieval taglines must never be used as an anchorage;
doing so could result in serious injury or death.

3. Attaching the Mast Assembly to the Concrete Foundation
Refer to Freestanding Swing Arm Assembly Drawing for Steps A Through G
a ) Although there are several base plate leveling methods, this manual describes the method of using leveling nuts
provided by others and grout as required on a concrete foundation. Regardless of which base plate leveling method
you use, the finished installation requires full contact of the base plate on the foundation. All anchor bolts must
have plate washers with standard clearance holes and adequate thickness for oversized base plate holes. Along
with plate washers, a standard flat washer must be used on each anchor bolt.
NOTE: It is solely the customer’s responsibility to provide the proper concrete foundation and anchor bolts for
this system. Before installing the mast assembly, the concrete must cure for the minimum time recommended by
the concrete supplier. Do not deviate from the recommended foundation, foundation size, provided hardware,
or installation recommendations without consulting a qualified professional. If the recommended foundation is
unknown, contact Rigid Lifelines®.
b ) Ensure the recommended concrete foundation (minimum 3,000 PSI and minimum 2,500 lbs/sq-ft soil pressure),
reinforcement, and anchor bolts (minimum one-inch diameter anchor bolts) are in place, and that the concrete has
had adequate time to cure.
c ) Per Figure 1, install one set of leveling nuts on the anchor bolts with the top surface approximately one inch above
the foundation. Next, place the mast assembly over the anchor bolts resting on leveling nuts. Install the second set
of nuts with plate washers and flat washers. Clamp the plumb fixture to the pivot pin.
NOTE: The plumb fixture must be perpendicular to the mast.
Figure 1
d ) Per Figure 1, select a position on the plumb fixture two inches from the edge of the mast to hang a plumb line.
Measure 60 inches down from the top of the mast and use this point to check the two-inch dimension for the
plumb line.
e ) Per Figure 1, position the plumb fixture directly over one anchor bolt and measure from the plumb line to the edge
of the mast. If this measurement is not two inches, adjust the leveling nut directly below by turning it up if the
distance is greater than two inches or down if the distance is less than two inches.
f ) Per Figure 1, rotate the plumb fixture 180 degrees and ensure the mast is plumb. Adjust the leveling nuts until
you have the same distance on each side of the mast. Repeat this entire step at each anchor bolt or at 60-degree
increments.
g ) Per Figure 1, when the mast is plumb, tighten the locking nuts.
NOTE: Do not grout the base plate until the track arm weldment is completely installed.

4. Portable Base Only: Attaching the Mast Assembly to the Foundation
Refer to Portable Base Swing Arm Assembly Drawing for Steps A Through G
a ) The finished installation requires full contact of the base plate on the foundation. All anchor bolts must have plate
washers with standard clearance holes of adequate thickness for oversized base plate holes. Along with plate
washers, a standard flat washer must be used on each anchor bolt.
NOTE: Anchor bolts are provided to attach the mast to the portable base. Do not deviate from the recommended
foundation, foundation size, provided anchor bolts and hardware, or installation recommendations without
consulting a qualified professional. If the recommended foundation is unknown, contact Rigid Lifelines®.
b ) Depending on the size of the mast and track arm weldment, you may have to stack multiple portable bases to
counterweight the weight of the mast and track arm weldment. If you were provided one portable base, then skip
to step f ). If you need to stack portable bases, then per Figure 2, remove the mast base plate mounting hole plugs
from what will be the top portable base.
c ) Per Figure 2, place alignment pins on the bottom portable base with one pin middle, left aligned and the other
pin middle, right aligned. Using drift pins and the alignment pins, align the four corner bolt holes on the middle
portable base with the four corner bolt holes on the bottom portable base.
d ) Per Figure 2, bolt the middle portable base to the bottom portable base using 1-1/4-inch diameter flat washers and
1-1/4-inch diameter bolts by inserting the bolts through the aligned holes, one washer and bolt per hole. Torque the
1-1/4-inch diameter bolts to 803 foot-pounds.
Figure 2
NOTE: The side lugs on the portable base(s) are for overhead crane use only.
e ) If more than two portable bases are required, repeat steps c ) and d ).
NOTE: The forklift pocket centers are up to 48 inches apart. Be sure that the forklifts are inserted 72 inches before
moving the portable base. Fork lengths must be at least 72 inches. However, 96 inches or longer fork lengths are
recommended.
f ) Ensure that the mast base plate mounting hole plugs have been removed. Per Figure 3, place the mast on the
portable base and line up the holes on the base plate with the mast base plate mounting holes on the portable
base.
g ) Per Figure 3, using 1-inch or 1-1/4-inch diameter flat washers and provided anchor bolts, bolt the mast to the
portable base. Torque 1-inch diameter bolts to 514 foot-pounds or 1-1/4-inch diameter bolts to 803 foot-pounds.
NOTE: Do not over torque the anchor bolts or you will strip the nut inside the portable base.

CORRECT SYSTEM USAGE AND OPERATION
1. As shown in Figure 5, after installation, drop a plumb line from the end of the track arm weldment and rotate the swing
arm 360 degrees to mark the safe and unsafe zones and obstructions.
2. In Figure 5, one Freestanding Swing Arm Anchor Track™ System provides complete fall protection for almost the entire
length of both trailers without needing to move the trucks or the dumpster. However, if the dumpster were moved out
of the way, Truck 1 could have parked closer to the mast, which would have created complete fall protection for both
trailers. Note that even if the dumpster were moved, either truck could pull too far forward and remove the trailer from
the safe zone.

3. Figure 6 depicts incorrect use of the system. The lower shelf has full fall protection coverage, but the right side of the
upper shelf is unprotected. A fall from the upper shelf could result in serious injury or death. With the restrictions due
to the walls, this system would not be recommended for this specific application. However, if the right side of the upper
shelf does not require fall protection, then this system could work.
Figure 6
4. Per Figure 7, never use this system more than 30 degrees off plumb or past the end stops. Using this system more than
30 degrees off plumb or past the end stops could cause serious injury or death. Always position the swing arm directly
overhead and keep the worker directly below the swing arm.

MAINTENANCE
1. Visually inspect the system before each use and fully inspect the system after a fall event and annually. Refer to the
INSPECTION CHECKLISTS in the next section of this manual for checklists for Freestanding Swing Arm Anchor Track
™
System and Annual Anchor Track
™
System .
2. If the system fails ANY inspection point on any of the inspection checklists, immediately remove the system
from service and call Rigid Lifelines®at 800-869-2080 for instructions.
3. During the first month after a new installation, a weekly inspection of the system should be performed using the Annual
Anchor Track
™
System Inspection Checklist. It is important to note that every system application and use will be different,
meaning some conditions of use will require more frequent inspection. Examples of such conditions include two or three
shift operations or working with or near corrosive chemicals or elements.
4. Refer to the Anchor Trolley™User Instruction Manual (Manual 103-0054), which comes packaged with the Anchor
Trolley, for its trolley inspection checklists.
5. Download and print additional blank inspection checklists from the literature tab at RigidLifelines.com.
