USING THE VERTICAL LIFELINE:
Vertical Lifeline Assemblies are designed for use as a personal fall protection system (PFAS). The equipment must be inspected before
each use. Attach only to approved anchorages suited for the applications and meeting OSHA and applicable standards.
The maximum free fall distance allowed with this system is 6 ft. unless components are designed for extended free falls. The system is
rated for 5,000 lbs., although if a shock absorber pack is incorporated in the system, the arrest forces on the body are limited to under
1000 lbs. when properly used. The maximum worker weight, including tools, for use with this lifeline is 310 lbs.
The Positioning Device is locked until the cam lever is depressed, which allows the unit to slide along the rope. Once the worker is
at their location, they can release the Positioning Device so that it locks onto the rope. DO NOT grab the Positioning Device in the
event of a fall, accidentally depressing the cam lock can open up the unit and cause it to slide on the rope. In order to work
properly, the lanyard attached to the Positioning Device or Rope Grab must allow the device to engage on the rope in its intended
locking method. Users should familiarize themselves with the Positioning Device before using.
The shock absorber pack on the lifeline system, if your system has a shock absorber permanently attached to the end of the rope, is
designed for attachment at the anchor point. If the shock absorber is built into the leg of the rope grab, positioning device, or fall arrester,
that portion must be attached to the user’s approved body harness.
Do not tie knots in rope lifelines. Knots in rope significantly reduce the rope’s strength properties. Limiter knots are permitted at the end of
the system to limit the amount of Positioning Device travel.
Avoid exposure to physical and chemical hazards that will degraded the rope or any attached lanyards.
Proper use constitutes:
• The Positioning Device or Rope Grab fall arrester components must be adjusted during use to limit free fall potential. Slack in the system
can allow momentum to build that could generate a free fall greater than 6ft. Always adjust the Positioning Device to minimize potential
slack (free fall) in the system.
• Do not work above the Positioning Device unless free fall is limited to 6ft. or less.
• Do not remove components from lifeline assemblies.
• The system is designed so that there is adequate fall distance, and a lower level cannot be contacted.
• System and application is designed to prohibit the potential for a swing fall if injury can occur.
• One person per vertical lifeline system.
