3.1
OVERVIEW: Anchorage connectors must be secured to an anchorage structure before they can be used. After this is
done, users may secure to the product through its anchorage connection points.
3.2
PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety
before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements and limitations specified in these instructions.
A. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where system components may be in contact with, or scrape against, unprotected
sharp edges and abrasive surfaces. All sharp edges and abrasive surfaces should be covered with protective material.
B. SYSTEM DEFLECTION: Some anchorage connectors will deflect during fall arrest, which may increase the user's fall
distance. Maximum deflection for the product is given in Table 1. When greater than zero, maximum deflection must
be added to the user's required fall clearance to ensure the user does not strike an obstruction in the event of a fall.

3.3
BEFORE INSTALLING: The anchorage connector may be installed on structures meeting the requirements specified in
these instructions. In addition to the requirements listed in Table 1, the installation must meet the following requirements:
A. SURFACE CONTAMINATION: Remove all surface contaminants from the anchorage connector and install location.
Surface contaminants could accelerate wear on the product.
3.4
INSTALLING THE LADDER ANCHOR: The Fixed Beam Anchor can be installed on structures meeting the anchorage
requirements specified in Table 1. The Fixed Beam Anchor may be used only when it is attached to a fixed ladder in an
upright position, within 5° plus or minus from vertical. See Figure 5 for reference. To install the Fixed Beam Anchor:
1. Attach the Rung Hook onto the center Ladder Fasten Point of the Fixed Beam Anchor. The Rung Hook may
face the front or back of the Fixed Beam Anchor Connection Eye, depending on installation. This will allow the
Fixed Beam Anchor to mount on the back or front of the ladder, respectively. Attach the Rung Hook so that the head
of the bolt is always on the same side as the Connection Eye.
2. Align the Fixed Beam Anchor along three rungs of the ladder, with the Ladder Fasten Points placed over these rungs.
The Rung Hook should hook onto the middle rung.
3. Using the applicable hardware components, fasten the Fixed Beam Anchor to the ladder along the Ladder Fasten
Points.
4. Ensure that all fasteners are tightly secured to a torque value of 20-25 ft*lbs (27-34 N*m). There should be no give
or shake of the Fixed Beam Anchor. The Fixed Beam Anchor must be within plus or minus 5° of vertical at all times
when it is being used.
5. Verify that the Fixed Beam Anchor is installed in a proper location on the ladder. The Fixed Beam Anchor may be
aligned on the front (A) or back (B) of a ladder and, from these points, along the left side of the ladder (C), the right
side of the ladder (D), or at the center of the ladder. The point of orientation that is chosen should be the one that
allows the greatest range of movement.
3.5
ATTACHMENT OF THE SELF RETRACTING DEVICE (SRD): For attachment of the SRD, follow the procedure below:
1. Using the connector supplied with the SRD, attach the SRD to the connection eye. See Figure 6 for reference.
3.6
INSTALLATION OF THE TAGLINE: Installation of the tagline utilizes two Tagline Pulley Assembly devices, as well as a
rope meeting the requirements specified in Table 1. When installed properly, the tagline enables quick and easy retrieval
of the SRD lifeline. To install the tagline, refer to Figure 7 and follow the procedure below:
1. Disassemble the Tagline Pulley Assembly (6100566) by removing Bolt E2 from the assembly.
2. Open the assembly so that it is wide enough to enclose the bottom rung of the ladder. Close the assembly around the
rung. The wheel of the Pulley should face towards the top rung of the ladder.
3. Reinsert Bolt E2 so that it joins together the Adjustment Bracket and Pulley Bracket. The rung should be placed within
the "V" of the brackets.
4. Ensure that the Tagline Pulley Assembly is attached securely to the bottom rung of the ladder. Bolts E1 and E2 should
be secured to a torque value of 12-13 ft*lbs (16.3-17.6 N*m).
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the top rung of the ladder, using a second Tagline Pulley Assembly. The Pulley of this
second assembly should face down towards the first assembly.
6. Guide rope around the Pulleys of both assemblies by pushing the rope through the in-line slot of the Pulley Bracket to
thread the rope around the Pulley wheels.
7. Complete the loop of the rope by terminating the rope with a knot. This knot should also capture the steel ring of the
coiled tether.
8. Attach the carabiner of the tether to either the eye (A) or snap hook (B) of the SRD connected to the Ladder Anchor
Connection Eye.
