ADJUSTING A NEW HARNESS:
Hold the harness by the metal D-Ring. Unbuckle the
chest strap and leg strap friction buckles. Remove
any twists in the webbing. Insert arms through the
shoulder straps so the D-Ring is on your back and the
arrow indicator on the shoulder strap, shown at Fig.3,
is pointing up toward your head. Leg straps should be
hanging down with no twists or tangles. Adjusting for
personal fit may require the harness to be put on and
taken off a few times.
CHEST AND SHOULDER STRAP
ADJUSTMENT:
1. Align the shoulder straps so they are parallel to
each other as shown at Fig.1. Buckle the chest strap
by inserting buckle “A” through buckle “B” as shown
at Figs.5, 6 and 7below. Adjust the chest strap
length by moving the webbing through buckle “A” so
the shoulder straps do not extend past your armpits.
For an average size person the length between the
shoulder straps should be no more than 12”.The chest
strap should be positioned at armpit level as shown
at Fig.1.
Note: Shoulder StrapWebbing is Adjusted by
Shortening or Lengthening the Leg Straps
DRING ADJUSTMENT:
3.The D-Ring on harness back should position about the center of the shoulder
blades as shown at Fig.2. Position the D-Ring pad at least 4”below the top of your
shoulders but no more than 6”. Adjust the D-Ring location by moving the webbing
through the slots in the D-Ring pad (Fig.3) and taking up excess webbing through
the leg strap friction buckles (Fig.1).The chest strap position may have to be
adjusted after moving the D-Ring pad.
4. Connect shock absorber as shown at Fig.3 to the back of the D-Ring on the
harness with the Snap-hook. Make sure the Snap-hook functions properly by
following instruction in Section 5-B.
5. Lifeline should be installed through the rope grab with the arrow indicator
pointing toward the anchor-point end of the lifeline shown at Fig.4. Follow the
instructions for the rope grab adjustment at Section 3 before use.
FRICTION BUCKLES:
7. Friction buckles are locked by inserting the smaller “A” buckle through the larger
“B” buckle (Fig.5).Turn “A” buckle at an angle as shown at Fig.6 and slide through
“B” buckleThe “A” buckle should lay flat over the top of the “B” buckle as shown at
Fig7.
Fig.5
Insert Small Buckle “A”
Into Large Buckle “B”

6. Attach lifeline to anchorage device with
the Snap-hook. Ensure the Snap-hook is
locked and the lifeline is not twisted or
entangled.
LEG STRAP ADJUSTMENT:
2. Buckle the leg straps and adjust for a
snug fit. Shorten or lengthen the strap
by unbuckling and moving the webbing
through the “A” buckle.
WEBBING KEEPERS:
8. Excess webbing from the chest and leg/shoulder straps are stored using the
plastic webbing keepers shown at Fig.7.Webbing strap ends are terminated by
folding over and sewing in place.This prevents the webbing from sliding back
through the “A” buckle. For this reason, do not cut off excess webbing.
If termination overlaps is missing do not use the harness.
WARNING:
IF THE HARNESS IS NOT
ADJUSTED FOR A SNUG FIT,
IT IS POSSIBLE TO COME OUT
OF THE HARNESS IF YOU FALL.
THE CHEST STRAP MUST BE
CLOSED AND BUCKLED AT
ALL TIMES WHEN YOU ARE
WEARING THE HARNESS
FOR FALL PROTECTION.

SECTION 3 ADJUSTING LIFELINE / ROPE GRAB TO LIMIT FREE FALL
4
OSHA 1926:502(d)(16)(iii) Allows a worker to free fall no more than 6’(1.8m)before
his equipment begins to arrest the fall. During a fall the rope grab device locks
onto the lifeline when all the slack of the various components are taken up in the
fall.The shock absorber will deploy, slow the fall, and the worker will come to a
complete stop before contacting the ground or lower level.
ADJUSTMENT SLACK EXAMPLE:
The length from the harness D-Ring
to the leading edge is 52”(1.3m)(B).To find
the amount of adjustment slack,
deduct 52”(1.3m)from 72”(1.8m).
The“adjustment slack”in the lifeline
is 20”(.5m)(C)
The 6’(1.8m)length is measured from the“leading edge”(as shown at Fig.1, where
the worker is standing) to the point where the equipment begins to arrest the fall.
(Fig.1 foot position to Fig.2 foot position).
The following method to gauge a free fall is a
recommendation only and all measurements in this manual
are EXAMPLES ONLY. Each worker will need his own personal
fall protection plan.
MEASURE THE D-RING LENGTH:
From a standing position, measure the length from your
harness D-Ring to your feet. Deduct this length from
72”(1.8m).This is the amount of“adjustment slack”for your
own personal fall protection plan.

ADJUSTING ROPE BRAB FOR FREE FALL LENGTH:
1. Position your rope grab a few feet below the Snap-hook on your lifeline with
the rope grab arrow pointing toward the anchor-point end of the lifeline as shown
at Section 1, Figs.3 &4, and connect your lifeline to a properly installed anchor
point.
2. Position the shock absorber/rope grab under your arm as shown at Fig.1 above,
and descend in a straight line toward the leading edge while holding the rope grab
locking lever in the open position shown at Section 5-A, Fig.2. Slide the rope
grab down the lifeline keeping all the slack out of the line.
3. With your feet at the“leading edge”* position, release the rope grab locking
lever. The shock absorber and rope grab should be in tension as shown at Fig.1.
Mark the position of the rope grab on the lifeline. At this position your free fall
should be no more than the length of the D-Ring to the leading edge: 52”(1.3m)as
shown at Fig.1, (B) of our example.
4. Slide rope grab down the lifeline 20”(.5m), as shown (C) in our example. The
adjustment slack added to the lifeline length will allow you to move in a radius to
the left or right of the anchor center point while limiting your free fall to 6’(1.8m).
As you continue to advance along the leading edge, the adjustment slack will reach
its maximum length at the“anchor service-zone”overlap, which is the intersection
along the leading edge shown at Section 4, Fig.3.The lifeline will be in tension.
In order to continue working along the leading edge, the worker will have to
connect to a different anchor point.
LENGTH OF FALL:
The approximate length of a fall shown at Fig.3 included the following: Free-fall 72”(1.8m)(A), absorber
deployment 42”(1.06m)(D) and harness stretch 12”(305mm)(E). Note: rope grab deceleration is less
than 12”(305mm). Approximate length of fall from leading edge to full arrest is 11’6”(3.5m). (F)
NOTE: The“length of fall”may vary depending on the harness D-Ring height of the individual worker and
how well the harness is adjusted for snug fit. Calculate your own personal fall protection plan to avoid con-
tacting a lower level or the ground if you fall.

SECTION 4 ANCHOR SERVICE ZONES
SERVICE ZONE:
An“anchor service zone”is the area of fall protection provided by a single anchor point.
A lifeline attached to an anchor point becomes a radius line that creates a 360° circle
over the work area as shown at Fig.1. When a portion of the circle extends beyond the
leading edge as shown by the blue shaded area at the bottom of Fig.1, the worker is
exposed to a free fall. In order the limit the free fall to no more than 6’(1.8m), the worker
needs to adjust his position on the lifeline by using the rope grab shown at Section 3,
Fig.1.
ANCHOR LOCATION:
Some anchors can be installed as permanent fixtures, while others serve as temporary
anchor points that are removed after use.“Anchor service zones”provide a way to
calculate how many anchors may be needed and where to locate them.
USING SERVICE ZONES TO LIMIT FREE FALL:
A single anchor point shown at Fig.1, provides fall protection for the entire area within
the radius of anchor“A”, while limiting free fall to 6’(1.8m)along the leading edge fall
hazard. The area outside the“A”“service zone”will require using another anchorage point.
EXAMPLE: Lifeline“A”rope grab position is adjusted 20”(.5m)from the leading edge so
as to limit the free fall to 6’(1.8m)as shown at Fig.4.The worker may travel to any area
on the work surface that is inside service zone“A”as long as there are no other exposures
to a fall hazard. When working along the leading edge where zone“A”overlaps into zone
“B”shown at Fig.3, the worker can not travel into zone“B”Leading Edge because the
rope grab position on the lifeline has reached its limit. In order to do work in zone“B”
along the leading edge, the worker will have to disconnect from anchor point“A”and
connect to anchor point“B”as shown at Fig.2, resulting in limited hazard exposure.
Note: Limited hazard exposure may be reduced by using a two lifeline/rope grab system.
While still connected to rope grab“A”, attach Iifeline rope grab“B”then disconnect rope
grab“A”. If the worker unlocks the rope grab and continues to move
along the leading edge, the free fall will be greater than 6’(1.8m).
As the worker at Fig.4 travels along the leading edge toward Fig.3,
the rope grabs fixed position on the lifeline will force him up-slope
sway from the leading edge where zone overlaps occur.
WARNING: FALL HAZARD—
Note: If the rope grab is adjusted on
lifeline“A”to allow travel into zone“B”,
the free fall and swing fall hazard will
become greater than 6’(1.8m) Refer to
Section 8 for common fall hazards
SAFETY STATISTIC:
Falls from elevated work
surfaces are among the top
3 leading causes of death on
construction sites in the US.
NOTE: A Jobsite safety Plan (JSP) or
personal fall protection plan may allow for
limited duration exposure to free falls.
LIMITER KNOT:
The rope grab position on the lifeline is used as a reference point for the
free-fall based on the adjustment slack. However during the course of work
the rope grab position can change.To mark or gauge the adjustment slack
position at Section 3, Fig.1, a limiter-knot may be tied just below the rope
grab as a gauge to mark the maximum free fall length.

INSTALLATION/REMOVAL OF THE ROPE GRAB:
Canadian Max Kits: Class F-Lanyards are required to have a termination that prevents the Class II
Integral Adjuster (rope-grab) from being removed off the lifeline. Fig.1a.
USA Max Kits: Are fitted with a termination knot (Fig.1b), that may be untied to allow the rope-
grab to be removed by following instructions shown at Fig.2. Warning:The termination knot
IS REQUIRED to prevent accidental disengagement of the Rope-Grab in the event of a
fall or during normal use.
INSTALLING THE ROPE GRAB/ USA USE ONLY:
With the direction arrow pointed toward the anchor attachment, hold the rope grab in the openy
position shown at Fig.2 and insert the tail end of the lifeline through rope grab chamber.
Re-tie the termination knot 4”y(100mm)from the tail end of the lifeline.
CLEANING/MAINTAINING/INSPECTING THE ROPE GRAB:
Normal use of the lifeline will cause the rope diameter to enlarge as the lifeline absorbs dirt and dust.
Although this will not prevent the rope grab from locking onto the lifeline, it may become difficult
to move the rope grab up and down the lifeline. Check for abrading of the lifeline, cut or damaged
filaments, paint, caulking, or other contaminants on the lifeline which can also interfere with the rope
grab movement. Debris can also get trapped inside the rope grab device and may require cleaning.
CLEANING THE ROPE GRAB:
Note: For CSA the Rope-Grab may not be removed from the lifeline. Use air pressure to clean. Do
not use lubricants and do not allow solvents to come in contact with the lifeline. For USA the rope
grab may be removed for cleaning.
INSPECTING THE ROPE GRAB:
a) Check for debris in the locking cam
b)Make sure all locking lever rivets are intact and none are missing or broken
c) Move the locking lever to the open position shown at Fig.3. Release the locking lever and
it should return to the closed position shown at Fig.3. A failure to close may be caused by a
broken or damaged locking cam return spring or some other damage. Check for broken spring
or trapped debris inside the rope grab.
d)Make sure the Rope Grab attachment ring, locking lever, or any other components are not
broken, cracked or distorted in any way.
WARNING: IF THE RETURN TO LOCK FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK, THE ROPE GRAB WILL
FAIL WHEN SUBJECTED TO A FREE FALL IMPACT. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE FROM SERVICE.
Do not use if damaged. If the rope grab is subjected to a free fall, it must be removed from
service and not used again.

SECTION 6-B QUICK-STRAP™
ATTACHMENT SPECIFICATIONS:
The Quick-StrapTM is designed to be wrapped around a rafter, truss top chord,
header, beam, or other structural member that is capable of supporting
5,000lb(22kN)or two times the intended fall protection load when Industrial
Safety Standards permit.
INSTALLATION METHOD:
Wrap the Quick-Strap around the supporting structure and insert the
D-Ring through web loop end shown at Fig.2 and 3. Cinch tight with the
webbing flat against the tie-off surface. Do not allow twists or knots to
form. Blocking or sheathing is required on sloped or flat chords as shown at
Fig.4 to prevent movement on the top chord. For installation or removal
when sheathing is present, cut a 4”x4”(100x 100mm) evacuation hole over
the top chord center as shown at Fig. 5. Attach to the D-Ring with a locking
Snap-hook or locking Carabiner. DO NOT tie a lifeline or lanyard directly to
the D-Ring or connect a Snap-hook to the web loop end (see Section 7).
The web loop end may be inserted through the D-Ring only when using a
locking type Carabiner as a connector.
WEBBING HAZARDS:
Avoid contact with sharp edges, exposed fasteners, hanger hardware, truss
web connector plates, high heat, petroleum products, chemicals, caulk, wet
concrete, wet stain, wet paint, solvents, Rice Krispies or liquids that could
degrade or weaken the webbing.
MAINTAINANCE:
Do not store if webbing is wet or damp. Mildew can form and deteriorate
the webbing and stitching. Do not dry using high heat. To remove
moisture: hang in an open area at room temperature or outside in warm
air. Clean webbing using compressed air or wash with warm water and
mild detergent. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR CHEMICAL CLEANING AGENTS ON
WEBBING.
INSPECTION:
Before each use inspect D-Ring for cracks, cuts, gouges, deformation or
elongation. The D-Ring should lay flat and be perfectly round. Inspect the
stitching for cut, broken, or damaged stitches. The webbing must be free
of cuts, abrasions, punctures, or contaminants. Examine the inside of the
webbing loops where they attach to the D-Ring and web loop end. Remove
from service if inspection fails or the strap has been subjected to a free fall.
NON-SPECIFIED USES:
Do not use as a permanent tie-off point. Do not use for lifting, hoisting,
towing, or securing of loads. Do not link two or more straps together.
SERVICE LIFE:
Webbing products in regular outside use should be removed from service
and replaced annually. Do not leave exposed to moisture or high UV
exposure for prolonged periods.
QUICK-STRAP SPECIFICATION: PART #3005
Fabricated with two layers of 1-3/4”x 48”(45mm x 1.2m) red polyester webbing sewn
together. Fitted with a proof loaded di-chromate plated D-Ring on the connector attach-
ment end and a web loop on the opposite end. Rated for single person use with a maxi-
mum body weight of 310lb. May be used for 2 persons for fall restraint or work positioning

AJUSTEMENT - BRETELLE
PECTORALE ET COURROIES D’ÉPAULE:
1. Alignez les courroies d’épaule afin qu’elles soient
parallèles (voir Fig. 1). Attachez la bretelle pectorale
en insérant la boucle « A » dans la boucle « B » (voir
Fig.5, 6 et 7). Ajustez la longueur de la bretelle
pectorale en passant la sangle au travers de la boucle
« A » afin que les courroies d’épaule ne dépassent
pas vos aisselles. Pour une personne de grandeur
moyenne, la longueur des courroies d’épaule ne doit
pas dépasser 12”. La bretelle pectorale doit être placée
au niveau des aisselles (voir Fig.1)
Note: Les courroies d’épaule peuvent être ajustées
en rapetissant ou en allongeant les sangles
d’entrejambe.
AJUSTEMENT DE L’ANNEAU EN D:
3. L’anneau en D doit être placé au centre entre les omoplates (voir Fig.2). Placez le
coussin protecteur de l’anneau en D au moins 4”plus bas que vos épaules, mais pas
plus de 6”. Ajustez la position de l’anneau en D en passant la sangle dans les fentes
du coussin protecteur (voir Fig. 3) et insérez la portion excédentaire dans la boucle
de friction de la sangle d’entrejambe (voir Fig.1). La position de la bretelle pectorale
aura peut-être besoin d’ajustement si le coussin de l’anneau en D a été déplacé.
4. À l’aide du crochet à ressorts, au dos de l’anneau en D, attachez l’absorbeur
d’énergie au harnais (voir Fig.3). Assurez-vous que le crochet à ressorts fonctionne
adéquatement. Suivez les instructions à la section 5-B.
5. La ligne de vie doit être placée dans le coulisseau de sécurité avec la flèche de
signalisation pointant vers le point d’ancrage situé à l’extrémité de la ligne de vie
(voir Fig.4). Suivez les instructions d’ajustement du coulisseau de sécurité à la
section 3 avant l’utilisation.
BOUCLE DE FRICTION:
7. La boucle de friction est verrouillée lorsque la petite boucle « A » passe au travers
de la grande boucle « B » (voir Fig.5). Placez en angle la boucle « A » et glissez-la
dans la boucle « B » (voir Fig.6). La boucle « A » doit être à plat au-dessus de la
boucle « B » (voir Fig.7).

6. Fixez la ligne de vie à l’ancrage grâce
au crochet à ressorts. Assurez-vous qu’il
est verrouillé. Aucune torsade ni aucun
entremêlement dans la ligne de vie.
AJUSTEMENT DES
SANGLES D’ENTREJAMBE:
2. Attachez les sangles d’entrejambe
et ajustez-les pour un ajustement serré.
Rapetissez ou agrandissez la longueur des
sangles en les détachant et en les bougeant
dans la boucle « A ».
ANNEAUX DE SANGLES:
8. La portion excédentaire de la bretelle pectorale, des courroies d’épaule ou
des sangles d’entrejambe peut être placée dans les anneaux en plastique (voir
Fig.7). La finition des sangles est faite en pliant et cousant le bout des sangles
en place (chevauchement). Cela évite que les sangles ne glissent au travers
de la boucle « A ». Pour cette raison, NE COUPEZ PAS la portion excédentaire.
N’UTILISEZ PAS le harnais s’il y a absence de chevauchement au bout des
sangles. AVERTISSEMENT:
SI LE HARNAIS N’EST PAS
AJUSTÉ PRÈS DU CORPS, IL EST
POSSIBLE QUE VOUS GLISSIEZ
