Note: Applications such as working near high voltage may require

special lifeline materials, consult Werner Co. before using such

lifelines.

f. Attaching the Rope Grab to the Lifeline

1. Ensure the rope grab is in the “UP”

position as indicated on the device.

The “UP” end of the rope grab must be

oriented towards the anchorage when

installed onto the lifeline.

2. Raise the lanyard connection handle to

full “UP” position. Insert the lifeline into

the rope grab.

3. Attach approved shock-absorbing lanyard. Connection to the

rope grab must be compatible.

Note: Some rope grab models have lanyards sewn directly to the

lanyard connection handle.

4. Test the operation of the rope grab by pulling down on the

lanyard. You must not be able to pull the rope grab down the

lifeline or adjust it without raising the lanyard connection handle.

g. Positioning the Rope Grab on the Lifeline

1. Squeeze the lanyard connection handle to release the rope

grab from its current position on the lifeline. Release the lanyard

connection handle to the desired new position and tug on the

lanyard to ensure it locks on the lifeline. Keep a minimum of 6 ft.

of rope below the rope grab for rope grab locking distance and

fall clearance.

Note: Werner Co. recommends terminating the bottom of the lifeline

after the rope grab is installed.

Warning:

The rope grab should be positioned to limit potential free fall to the

shortest possible distance, but in no case more than 6’ per ANSI Z359

and OSHA requirements.
