3.0 INSTALLATION

3M Engineered System Installation: The 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline Fall Arrest/Fall Restraint System is
an Engineered HLL System designed, analyzed, and specifi ed by a 3M Certifi ed Installer for your specifi c location and
product application. Installation of the 8mm HLL System must be supervised by the 3M Certifi ed Installer. Changes
in system location, equipment placement, etc. will require review and revision of original specifi cations. Contact the
Certifi ed Installer or 3M Fall Protection for assistance.
3.1 COMPLETED INSTALLATIONS: Your HLL System is designed by a 3M Certifi ed Installer to meet the specifi c
requirements of your product application and location. On completion of the installation, the Certifi ed Installer will provide
an Installation Packet including the following:
System Documentation
The Certifi ed Installer will provide as a
minimum:
• Design information including: End
Loads, Intermediate Loads, Cable
Defl ection, Fabrication Detail,
Maximum Number of Users, and
specifi cs regarding User Equipment
and Test Requirements.
• User Instruction Manual
• Product Warranty
• Installation Serial Number
• Rescue Plan explaining how to rescue
someone in the event of a fall (Fall
Arrest installations only). This is
an additional service for which the
Installer may require an additional
charge.
3.2 TRAVELER INSTALLATION: Travelers attach around the Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) and serve as moving anchorage
connection points for the User's Personal Fall Arrest or Personal Fall Restraint system. Figure 1 illustrates the available
Traveller options:
• Overhead (OH) Traveler (7241421): The Overhead Traveler is permanently installed by the Certifi ed Installer
during installation of the 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline. It is not detachable and should remain on the HLL
unless removed by the Certifi ed Installer.
• Detachable Traveler (7241420): The Detachable Traveler can be attached and detached at any location along the
HLL. Figure 7 illustrates installation of the Detachable Traveler. To attach the Traveler:
1. Press in the Locking Pin Buttons on each side of the Traveler and rotate the Bottom Portion down to open the
Traveler.
2. Hang the Top Portion of the Traveler over the HLL Cable with the Label facing the intended work area so the slot
in the Traveler can pass over the Cable Tubes on Intermediate Brackets and Corner Brackets. Close the Bottom
Portion around the cable. When completely closed, the Locking Pin Buttons will snap out to their locked position.
To remove the Traveler from the HLL Cable after use:
3. Press in the Locking Pin Buttons on each side of the Traveler and rotate the Bottom Portion down to open the
Traveler.
4. Remove the Traveler from the HLL Cable.
4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area, 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline System, and Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) meet all criteria specifi ed on the System Label and System Certifi cate. Inspect the 8mm HLL System
per the inspection points defi ned on the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or
defective condition, do not use the 8mm HLL System
remove the system from service and contact the 3M Certifi ed Installer for inspection and service.
4.2 FALL PROTECTION CONNECTIONS: Figure 2 illustrates application of the 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline and
connected Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Fall Restraint (Figure 2-1) and Fall Arrest (Figure 2-2) . The 8mm
HLL must always be used with a Full Body Harness and the Lanyards or Self-Retracting Devices (SRDs) specifi ed on the
System Label and System Certifi cate. Figure 8 illustrates connection of the Fall Protection Subsystem. Connect one end
of the Lanyard or SRD to the eye on the Traveler per the User Instructions provided with the Lanyard or SRD. Connect
the other end of the Lanyard or SRD to the back Dorsal D-Ring on the Harness. On Overhead SRDs, a Tag Line can be
attached to the SRD Lifeline and used to retrieve the lifeline for connection to the Harness.

Overhead SRDs: Larger Overhead Anchorage SRDs require an anchorage point above the Harness Dorsal D-Ring.
HLL Systems with overhead SRDs require the Overhead Traveler (7241421). Personal SRDs that mount on the Harness
Back Pad can be used with the Detachable Traveler (7241420).
1 Detachable Traveler Inspection: If inspection of the Detachable Traveler reveals damage or evidence of exposure to fall forces, the Traveler should be removed from
service for inspection by a Certifi ed Installer. If complete inspection of the entire 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline System reveals no other damage or evidence of
exposure to fall forces, the HLL System and additional Travelers may remain in service.
