3.0 OPERATION
3.1 BEFORE EACH USE of this equipment, carefully inspect your work area and fall protection stsyems according to
Section 1 and 2, and the Inspection and Maintenenace Log in this manual. Verify that your work area and Personal
Fall Arrest System (PFAS) meet all criteria defined in Section 1 and 2. Verify that a formal Rescue plan is in place.
Inspect the Lanyard per the 'User' inspection points defined in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). If
inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the system from service immediately. See Section 4 for
inspection details. Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.
3.2 PLAN: Consider all factors that will affect your safety during use of this equipment. The following list gives important
points to consider when planning your system:
•
Anchorage: Select an anchorage capable of sustaining the Static Load requirements of the intended fall protection
application. The anchorage location should address all possible hazards.
•
Sharp Edges: Avoid working where system components may be in contact with, or abrade against, unprotected
sharp edges.
•
After A Fall: This work positioning lanyard is not intended for use without a seperate Fall Arrest System.
If the Lanyard is subjected to the forces of arresting a fall or exhibits damage consistent with the effect of fall arrest
forces, it must be removed from service immediately. Clearly mark the Lanyard "DO NOT USE" and then either
destroy the Lanyard or contact 3M regarding replacement. See Section 5 and 6 for more information.
•
Rescue: The employer must have a written, formal rescue plan when using this equipment. The employer must have
the ability to perform a rescue quickly and safely.
3.3 ANCHORAGE STRENGTH: From OSHA 1926.502: Positioning devices shall be secured to an anchorage capable of
supporting at least twice the potential load of a User's fall or 3,000 lbs., whichever is greater. Each work positioning
system installation must be independently capable of sustaining these loads.
3.4 SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT
1.
Attach the locking snap-hook to the left or right side D-Ring located on the User's body belt or full body
harness
2.
Wrap the lanyard around a secure anchorage that is capable of supporting at least twice the potential impact
load of an employee's fall or 3,000 pounds (13kN), whichever is greater. Verify the lanyard is secured in a way
that it cannot slip down or past the anchor point.
3.
Attach the Lanyard Carabiner to the opposite Hip D-Ring.
4.
Pull the Lanyard Rope through the Rope Adjuster to create a secure amount of tension.
9 The Adjustable Rope Positioning Lanyard must be connected to the harness with both Hip D-Rings. Never use the
Adjustable Rope Positioning Lanyard with only one connector attached to the full-body harness.
Rope Grab Position Adjustment on the Rope:
1.
The User relieves tension on the rope with body position.
2.
While slowly rotating the cam pawl in direction shown, the rope will start to slip and be able to adjust length.
This is a variable process, the greater the cam is rotated the faster the rope can adjust.
3.
To tighten the rope, this same process will work, or the User could pull on the trailing end of the rope and
achieve the same result while the rope is under tension.
