of this instruction manual, an overhead
application implies that there is no slack in
the lifeline when the unit is mounted above
the user and connected to the user's back
D-ring. For suitability in other installation
applications, refer to 5.0 Installation/Use.
Never work above the device, unless
instructions allow for such installation
applications
for
retracting lifeline model.
Select self-retracting lifelines/fall limiters
may be used with Honeywell-approved
horizontal lifeline systems. Always refer
to the instructions provided with the
horizontal lifeline system to determine if
your self-retracting lifeline model can be
used with the system.
The device should be installed and used in
such a manner as to minimize the potential
for a swing fall.
Do not allow lifeline to become slack.
Do not tie knots in lanyards or lifelines,
or wrap around sharp, rough edges, or
small diameter structural members.
not attach multiple connecting devices
together, or attach a lanyard/lifeline back
onto itself unless it is specifically designed
for that purpose.
Free Fall
Personal fall arrest systems must be rigged
to limit a free fall to the shortest possible
distance [6ft (1.8m) maximum].

tor
(Refer to Fig. 1a & 1b)
For general fall protection, connect the lifeline/
lanyard end connector (i.e., snap hook or
carabiner) to the back D-ring on the full-body
harness (see Fig. 1a).
Connect the body of the retractable unit to the
anchorage or anchorage connector (see Fig.
1b). Make sure connections are compatible
in regards to size, strength, and shape. Make
sure that connectors are completely closed
and locked. Make sure that connectors are
Do
positioned so that their gates are never load
bearing.
Never attach a rebar (pelican) hook to a
harness D-ring.
3.2 Reverse Configuration
(Refer to Fig. 2a & 2b)
[Applies to Turbo T-BAK Tie-Back Personal
Fall Limiters (MFLT), TurboLite Personal Fall
Limiters (MFL Models), Scorpion Personal
Fall Limiters (PFL Models), Black Rhino
Self-Retracting Lifelines (CFL Models),
MiniLite Fall Limiters (FL11 Models), Titan
Fall Limiters (TFL Models), and Miller
Retractable Web Lanyards (8327 Models)]
Select self-retracting lifelines/fall limiters may
also be used in a reverse configuration where
the lifeline/lanyard end connector (i.e., snap
hook, carabiner or rebar hook) is connected
to a compatible anchorage or anchorage
connector and the body of the retractable unit
is attached to the back D-ring on the full-body
harness (see Fig. 2a & 2b).
Note:
The weight of the retractable unit
should be considered when choosing this re-
verse configuration for connecting to the body
support and anchorage.
