ADJUSTABLE
HINGED ANCHOR™:
11 ga. di-chromate plated steel with a stamped D-ring
attachment point for lifeline connection. Installs with
factory certified nails or screws. Do not use on slopes
greater then 20/12. Rated for maximum 5,000 lbs.
This equipment is designed to be used as a complete system for personal fall protection and is rated
for one person at a time. It meets the criteria for all fall arrest equipment specified in OSHA Subpart
M 1926:502 and ANSI Z359.1-1992. All of the components are factory certified for component com-
patibility and may be used with other anchorage devices manufactured by Super Anchor Safety®. All
components are rated for a maximum user weight of no more than 310 lbs.
FULL BODY HARNESS:
The body harness is made from 1.75” polyester webbing and is rated at 5,000 lbs. Leg and chest
straps are adjustable for a personal fit using friction-type buckles. Each harness has a serial number
on the warning label. Shock absorber or accessory lanyards attach to the 5,000 lbs. proof-loaded
D-ring located on the back of the harness.
SHOCK ABSORBER:
Fabricated from 1.75” polyester tear-away webbing. It has a maximum elongation of 42” and is
encapsulated in clear shrink tubing. The harness attachment end is fitted with a double locking
snaphook. The shock absorber is permanently attached to the rope grab witfh a sewn loop. When
used as specified in this manual, the shock absorber should limit the MAF (maximum arrest force)
to no more than 900 lbs. for a worker with a maximum weight of 310 lbs. (including tools) when
subjected to a 6 ft. free fall. The minimum force needed to initiate absorber deployment is between
650 lbs. and 750 lbs.
ROPE GRAB:
The mechanical, single-direction rope grab is rated for 5,000 lbs. of force and is factory attached to
the shock absorber. It has a corrosion resistant finish. The rope grab is adjusted on the lifeline by
holding the cam locking-lever in the open position. During normal operation the rope grab will remain
at its fixed position on the lifeline and will lock when subjected to the tension of a sudden force or
free fall. Note: The rope grab only locks when correctly installed onto lifeline.
LIFELINE:
Made from 5/8”, 3-strand, 9,200 lbs. test polyester and spliced with a double-locking snaphook for
attachment to the anchor. The eye splice and product warning label are encased in clear shrink
tubing. A “termination knot”* is tied 12” from the tail-end of the lifeline to prevent the rope grab
from coming off due to “accidental disengagement.”*

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 indi-
cator on the shoulder strap, shown in 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 several times.
CHEST AND SHOULDER
STRAP ADJUSTMENT:
1. Align the shoulder straps so they are parallel to
each other as shown in Fig. 1. Buckle the chest strap
by inserting buckle "A" through buckle "B" as shown in
Figs. 5, 6 and 7below. Adjust the chest strap length by
moving the webbing through buckle "A" so the shoulder
straps do no 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 in Fig. 1.
SECTION 1
HARNESS ADJUSTMENT AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
D-RING ADJUSTMENT:
3. The D-ring on harness back should position about the center of
the shoulder blades as shown in 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 in Fig. 3 to the back of the
D-ring on the harness with the snaphook. Make sure the snaphook
functions properly by following instructions 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 in
Fig. 4. Follow the instructions for the rope grab adjustment in
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 in Fig. 6 and slide through "B" buckle. The "A" buckle should
lay flat over the top of the "B" buckle as shown in Fig. 7.
LEG STRAP
ADJUSTMENT:
2. Buckle the leg straps and adjust for a snug
fit. Shorten or lengthen the strap by unbuck-
ling and moving the webbing through the "A"
buckle. Store excess webbing using keepers
shown in Fig. 7.
WEBBING KEEPERS:
8. Excess webbing from the chest and leg/shoulder straps are stored using the
plastic webbing keepers shown in 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 overlap 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 USING
THE HARNESS FOR FALL
PROTECTION.

The shock absorber is designed to arrest a fall one time only and it must be
replaced. The original length is approximately 17". When the absorber is subject-
ed to a free fall the tear-away fabric will rip out a maximum of 42" as it slows
the fall and then comes to a complete stop. It takes about 650-750 lbs of force
to deploy or initiate the rip out function.

OSHA 1926:502(d)(16)(iii) Allows a worker to free fall no more than 6 ft. 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 a lower level.
The 6 ft. length is measured from the “leading edge”* (as shown in Fig. 1,
where the worker is standing) to the point where the fall begins to arrest
(Fig. 1 foot position to Fig. 2 foot position).
SECTION 3
ADJUSTING LIFELINE / ROPE GRAB TO LIMIT FREE FALL
ADJUSTING ROPE GRAB FOR FREE
FALL LENGTH:
1. Position your rope grab a few feet below the snaphook on your lifeline with the rope
grab arrow pointing toward the anchor-point end of the lifeline as shown in
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 in 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 in
Section 5A, 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 in 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” as shown in Fig. 1,
(B) of our example.
4. Slide rope grab down the lifeline 20”, 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 ft. 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 in
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 in Fig. 3 includes the following: Free-fall
72”(A), absorber deployment 42”(D) and harness stretch 12”(E). Note: rope grab
deceleration is less than 2”.
Approximate length of fall from leading edge to full arrest is 11 ft. (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 contacting a lower level or the ground if you fall.
*See Definitions, Page 21
The following method to gauge a free fall is a recommen-
dation 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
own D-ring to your feet. Deduct this length from 72”. This
is the amount of “adjustment slack” for your own personal
fall protection plan.
ADJUSTMENT
SLACK EXAMPLE:
The length from the harness
D-ring to the leading edge is
52”(B). To find the amount of
adjustment slack, deduct 52”
from 72”.
The “adjustment slack” in the
lifeline is 20”(C)

SERVICE ZONE:
The “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 360º circle over
the work area as shown in 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 to limit the free fall to no more than 6 ft., the worker needs to adjust his
position on the lifeline by using the rope grab as shown in
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 calcu-
late how many anchors may be needed and where to locate them.
USING SERVICE ZONES TO LIMIT
FREE FALL:
A single anchor point, shown in Fig. 1, provides fall protection for the entire area within the
radius of anchor “A”, while limiting free fall to 6 ft. 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” from the leading edge so as to limit the free
fall to 6 ft. as shown in Fig. 4. The worker may travel to any area on the work surface that
is inside service zone “A” as long as there is no other exposure to a fall hazard. When
working along the leading edge where zone “A” overlaps into zone “B” shown in 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 in Fig. 2. If the worker unlocks the rope grab and continues to move along the
leading edge, the free fall will be greater than 6 ft.
SECTION 4
ANCHOR SERVICE ZONES
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 ft. Refer to
Section 9 for
common fall hazards.
NOTE: A Jobsite Safety Plan (JSP)
or personal fall protection plan
may allow for limited duration
exposure to free falls.
As the worker in Fig. 4 travels
along the leading edge toward
Fig. 3, the rope grabs fixed
postion on the lifeline will force
him up-slope away from the
leading edge where the zone
overlaps occur.

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 gage the adjustment slack position shown in
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.

SECTION 5-A
INSTALLING / MAINTAINING / INSPECTING ROPE GRAB
The mechanical rope grab device is pre-installed onto the lifeline at the factory. An arrow indicator is stamped onto the rope chamber of the grab and must always
point to the anchor attachment end of the lifeline in order to function properly. The tail end of the lifeline has a "termination knot"* tied approximately 12" from the
rope end to prevent the rope grab from coming off the end of the lifeline accidentally. Do not use the lifeline system without the termination knot in place.
TEST PROCEDURE FOR LOCKING FUNCTION:
Before each use and anytime the rope grab has been removed from the lifeline, check the locking function:
•With rope grab properly installed, and with the locking cam in the closed position, take the lifeline in one hand and rope grab attachment ring in the other. Pull
lifeline and rope grab in opposite directions. The rope grab should not move on the lifeline. If movement does occur, the rope grab device is defective. Do not use it.

INSTALLATION / REMOVAL OF THE ROPE GRAB:
NOTE: The mechanical rope grab device can only be removed or installed by sliding it on or off the lifeline
through the rope chamber.
REMOVING THE ROPE GRAB:
•Untie the "termination knot" at the end of the lifeline. Hold the rope grab in the unlock (open cam) position
shown in Fig. 2 and slide it off the lifeline.
INSTALLING THE ROPE GRAB:
•With direction arrow pointed toward the anchor attachment end, hold the rope grab in the open position
shown in Fig. 2 and insert the tail end of the lifeline through rope grab chamber.
•Re-tie the termination knot 12" 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, caulk-
ing, 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:
•Remove the rope grab from the lifeline and clean using air pressure. Move the locking cam up and down
while cleaning. Re-install the rope grab onto the lifeline and check the locking function. DO NOT LUBRICATE
ROPE GRAB OR USE SOLVENTS.
INSPECTING THE ROPE GRAB:
•Remove the rope grab from the lifeline to inspect the interior mechanism of the locking cam.
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 in Fig. 2. Release the locking lever and it should
return to the closed position shown in 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.
•DAMAGE FROM ABUSE OR SUBJECTED TO FALL IMPACT:
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.

USERS INSPECTION:
All components of a personal fall protection system need to be inspected before each
use by the person using the equipment. The inspection procedures in this manual are
recommendations only and should be used as a guideline for your own inspection plan.
EMPLOYERS / USERS
CERTIFICATION INSPECTION:
A scheduled or routine inspection of all safety equipment should be carried out by a
“qualified”* or “competent”* person to ensure that all components are free of
defects. Such an inspection should consider the specific type of work being done,
job site conditions to which the equipment is exposed, and the frequency of use.
See Inspection Form on page 23.
SECTION 5-B
INSPECTIONS: LIFELINE / SNAPHOOK
1. SPLICE AND EYE THIMBLE:
Remove from service if any of the following conditions are present:
a) Plastic eye thimble is oval, oblong, cut, smashed, or melted. Fig. 2-D
b) Thimble is missing from the lifeline. Fig. 2-C
c) Shrink tube plastic cover and warning label are missing. Fig. 2-C,D
d) Rope strands are pulled loose, sticking out, or splice is coming loose. Fig. 2-D
2. LIFELINE:
Inspect the entire length of the lifeline for defects and remove from service if the fol-
lowing conditions are present:
a) Rope strands are cut or sticking out as shown in Fig. 2-A and 2-B.
b) Signs of chemical or heat damage; such as melted or distorted strands.
c) Tail end of rope is coming undone, frayed because the shrink tube termination is
missing, or the rope has been cut off.
d) Termination knot is missing. Fix by re-tying.
3. SNAPHOOK FUNCTION TEST:
The auto-lock snaphook has two internal springs that cause the gate to remain in the
locked position. To pass inspection, the gate must remain locked when the safety is
released.
SAFETY LOCK TEST:
a) Push down on the safety lock as shown in Fig. 3, and release. The safety should
spring back to the closed position.
LOCKING GATE TEST:
b) As shown in Fig. 4, push on locking gate only and do not push on safety lock.
The gate should not move at all.
c) Hold the snaphook in hand as shown in Fig. 5 and push down on the safety
lock. The locking gate should open. Release the safety lock. The gate should
close by itself.
Make sure all moving parts do not have any contaminants inside or outside that could
interfere with the opening and closing of the gate, such as caulk or roof cement.
SNAPHOOK FRAME:
The snaphook frame shown in Fig. 6 does not have any defects. If the frame, locking
gate, or safety lock mechanism is bent, distorted, cut, gouged, or damaged in any way,
remove it from service.

ATTACHMENT SPECIFICATIONS:
The Quick-Strap™is designed to be wrapped around a rafter, truss top chord,
header, beam, or other structural member that is capable of supporting 5,000
lbs. or twice the intended load for personal fall protection.
INSTALLATION METHOD:
Wrap the Quick-Strap™around a framing member capable of supporting
5,000 lbs. or two times the intended load for personal fall protection. Insert the
D-ring through web loop end shown in Fig. 2 and 3. Cinch tight with the web-
bing flat against the tie-off surface. Do not allow twists or knots to form.
Blocking or sheathing is required on sloped top chords as shown in Fig. 4 to
prevent strap from sliding. For installation or removal when sheathing is pres-
ent, cut a 4"x 4" hole over the top chord center as shown in Fig. 5.
Attach the lifeline to the D-ring end using only a locking snaphook or locking
carabiner. DO NOT tie a lifeline directly to the D-ring or connect a snaphook to
the web loop end because these are non-compatible connections. See section
8-C and 8-D.
As an alternate method of installation, the web loop end of the Quick-Strap™
may be inserted through the D-ring only when using a locking type carabiner
to attach the lifeline. This method is not recommended because the
D-ring can cause chaffing of the webbing.
WEBBING HAZARDS:
Do not allow the webbing to come in contact with sharp edges, exposed fas-
teners, hanger hardware, truss web connector plates, high heat, petroleum
products, chemicals, caulk, wet concrete, wet stain, wet paint, or any solvent
or liquid that could degrade or weaken the webbing.
MAINTENANCE:
The Quick-Strap™should not be stored when it is wet or damp. Mildew can
form and deteriorate the webbing and stitching. Do not dry the webbing by
direct heat, air dryer, or high heat which can deteriorate or weaken the Quick-
Strap™. To remove moisture: hang the strap from the D-ring in an open area
at room temperature or outside in warm air.
Webbing may be cleaned by using compressed air or washing with warm
water and mild detergents. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR CHEMICAL CLEANING
AGENTS ON WEBBING as this may cause the stitching or webbing to weaken
or deteriorate.
INSPECTION:
Before each use inspect the D-ring for cracks, cuts, gouges, deformation or
elongation. NOTE: 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 where
the D-ring passes through. Remove from service if the Quick-Strap™fails to
pass inspection or has been subjected to a free fall.
NON-SPECIFIED USES:
Do not use as a permanent tie-off point. If the Quick-Strap™is left outside, the
webbing and stitching will deteriorate over time due to prolonged moisture
and U.V. exposure.
Do not use for any purpose other than personal fall protection such as, but not
limited to, lifting, hoisting, towing, and 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.

SECTION 7-B
PERMANENT ANCHORAGE DEVICES: RS-20™AND WALL MOUNT™
INSTALLATION:
1. The RS-20™must be installed over a minimum 7/16" OSB or
plywood sheathing with a minimum 2x4 top chord. The anchor posi-
tion should be laid out before fastening.
2. Adjust the D-ring exposure to extend past the edge of the tile
overlap as shown in Fig. 2. This is usually between 3"-4". The D-ring
should rotate up and down.
3. Use the fastener hole furthest away from the D-ring on the
anchor leg to position over the center of the top chord as shown in
Fig. 1. There are 10 fastener holes but only 8 fasteners are required.
This allows the leg to be installed over the barrel part of a high pro-
file roof tile by not using the first two fastener holes closest to the
D-ring shown in Fig. 2.
4. Secure anchor using 8 factory supplied 12d stainless steel spiral
shank nails shown in Fig. 1. WARNING: DO NOT subject the anchor
to side-loading (perpendicular to anchor leg) as shown in Fig. 4-A or
loading that is in the opposite direction of the slope as shown in Fig.
4-B.
WALL MOUNT ™ANCHORS:

INSTALLATION LOCATIONS:
Anchor locations are installed using the “anchor service zone”* method
recommended in Section 4.
ARS 3-K™NON-REUSABLE ANCHOR:
Surface mounted / Work positioning / Fall restraint anchor
The ARS 3-K™shown in Fig. 1 is a non-reusable 16 ga. steel anchor that is pre-formed
to a 5/12 pitch. The 3-K™is designed to be a temporary, single use anchor that is
buried under the roofing membrane or removed after use. The maximum load rating is
3,000 lbs. It is not to be used on a roof that has a pitch greater than 8/12. Strength
rating is not suitable for applications where the worker is exposed to a free fall.
1. Install over a minimum 7/16” sheathing. Position the anchor over the center of a
2X4 or larger top chord shown in Fig. 2. The anchor may be located at the ridge as
shown in Fig. 1 and 3, or in the field of the roof deck. Secure the anchor using 10 fac-
tory supplied 16d vinyl coated sinker nails, 5 in each leg as shown in Fig. 1 and 3.
2. Roof Deck, or field installation, requires the anchor legs to run parallel with the
rafter/slope. Do not install over top chord without sheathing.
3. After use, flatten the anchor stem and cover it with roof material. If the anchor is
removed from the roof, dispose of the anchor and fasteners so they can not be used
again.
4. Inspect anchor location on the underside of sheathing before use. Make sure all fas-
teners have penetrated the top chord. Do not use if nails have “blown out” the top chord
sides or missed the top chord. If that condition is present, reinstall at a different location.
ARS 5-K™REUSABLE ANCHOR:
Surface Mounted / Fall Arrest Anchor
The ARS 5-K™ shown in Fig. 4 is made from 18 gauge stainless steel and is designed
for removal and reuse as a surface mounted fall arrest anchor rated for 5,000 lbs. The
legs are easily adjusted from a flat position for field installation, up to a 12/12 for ridge
mount. Force load must be directed parallel/vertical to top chord as shown in
Section
7-B, Fig. 4-C when exposed to a free fall hazard.
1. Install 5-K™over a minimum 7/16” sheathing as shown in Fig. 4. Position anchor
over center of 2X4 or larger top chord as shown in Fig. 2. Secure the 5-K™using 10
factory supplied #12x2-7/8” red colored hex head wood screws. DO NOT use any other
type of fasteners or nails. The strength rating of the ARS 5-K™requires the specified
fasteners to be used. Inspect underside of top chord for fasteners that have “blown
out” the sides or missed the top chord. Reinstall if that condition is present.
2. The anchor legs must always run parallel with top chord and slope. DO NOT install
over top chord without sheathing and do not install through sheathing only.
3. After use, remove the anchor and dispose of the screws. DO NOT reuse screws
because the heads are subject to metal fatigue caused by torque during the installation
and removal process.
4. Discard anchors that have had the stem flattened or damaged. DO NOT rebend the
stem because metal fatigue can result.
NOTE:
The 3-K™and 5-K™
are similiar in design
but have different
strength and fasten-
ing requirements.

SECTION 8-A
COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY / LIFELINE ANCHORAGE DEVICES
COMPATIBILITY:
Fall protection equipment components are
linked together using various types of connect-
ing hardware, splices, and fittings. In order for
the equipment to withstand the forces of a free
fall and guard against unforeseen hazards, the
components must be aligned in the direction in
which they were designed to carry the load. By
ensuring what is called “component compatibil-
ity,”* the possibility of equipment failure due to
improper connection is reduced or eliminated.
NON-COMPATIBILITY:
The linking together of connecting hardware,
lanyards, and lifelines in a way in which they
were not originally designed to be connected.
See Section 8-C and 8-D. Equipment failure
can result in serious injury or death. Improper
connections can also cause damage and accel-
erated deterioration of the equipment.

The following compatibilty chart applies only to equipment manufactured by Super Anchor
Safety®. Harnesses, shock absorbers, lanyards, and rope grabs are fitted with two types of
terminations for connecting hardware: forged or stamped proof-loaded D-rings shown in
Fig.2, or sewn web loops shown in Fig. 1.
Auto-locking snaphooks or auto-locking carabiners
are the only type of connecting hardware specified
for use with our equipment.
Web loops are compatible
with carabiner only.

NOTE:
Some harnesses have a shock absorber
attached to the harness D-ring with a sewn
web loop. If the harness/absorber is subject to
a free fall, do not cut off the absorber and
attach a new one. The harness and absorber
must be removed from service.

A fall hazard is created when a workers position on an elevated surface has the potential to cause serious injury or death when travel over the leading edge of
that hazard occurs. A few of the most common types of fall hazards are shown below.
NOTE: Total length of fall from leading edge is about 11 ft. See Section 3.
SECTION 9
FALL HAZARDS
LOWER LEVEL: Fig. 2
When working above a lower level, the length of fall is greater than the
distance between the two levels. This type of hazard is usually addressed
in the personal fall protection plan. Keep slack to a minimum.
SWING FALL: Fig. 4
If a fall occurs while working along an eave line or gable edge, the pendu-
lum motion can swing a worker into an obstruction, a lower level, or the
ground. Continuous adjustments are required to keep slack in the lifeline
to a minimum.
LIFELINE SLACK:
A failure to make adjustments in the lifeline length as a worker progresses
up slope will produce slack in the lifeline. This is especially dangerous
when swing fall and gable edge hazards are present. Adjustments are
easily made by pulling the lifeline through the rope grab in the opposite
direction of the arrow indicator on the rope grab.
LEADING EDGE:
EAVE LINE: Fig. 1
When working along the eave line, the worker is exposed to a free fall.
Adjust the rope grab on the lifeline to limit the distance of the free fall or
to prevent striking a lower level.
TUMBLE OR SLIDE: Fig. 2 & 3
When working above a leading edge on a steep slope, a worker could
trip and then tumble or slide down the slope over the leading edge. Do
not allow excessive slack in the lifeline to accumulate.
GABLE EDGE: Fig. 3
When working up-slope along a gable
edge, slack in the lifeline will accumulate.
Making several adjustments as you work
up-slope will reduce the amount of slack.
