Installation Warnings, Limitations and Requirements
for All Anchorage Connectors
Before installation of any anchorage connector, carefully inspect to ensure that it is in use-
able condition. Check for missing or damaged parts. Do not use this equipment if any com-
ponent does not operate properly or if the unit appears to be damaged in any way. Refer to
the inspection section of this manual.
Only trained and competent personnel should install and use this equipment.
Ensure that the anchor point is at a height that limits free fall distance to 6 feet (1.8m) or
less.
Always work directly under the anchor point to avoid a swing-fall injury.
Ensure that the anchorage connector is at a height that will not allow a lower level to be struck
should a fall occur. When selecting an anchorage point, always remember that shock
absorbers may elongate up to 3-1/2 feet (1.07m).
Fall arrest systems used with the anchorage connector must be rigged in accordance to
regulatory requirements. [All instructions and warnings provided with the components of
the personal fall arrest system must be read, understood, and followed.]
Make sure that all connections within the fall arrest system are compatible.
The anchorage connector must be compatible with the snap hook or carabiner of the
connecting device and must not be capable of causing a load to be applied to the keeper/
gate.
Use only locking carabiners, locking snap hooks or other Miller approved connectors or
connecting devices to attach to this equipment.
Never use an anchorage connector which will not allow snap hook or carabiner keeper/gate
to close.
