Install the anchorage connectors. The Web Horizontal Lifeline System includes two tie-off adaptor anchorage con-
nectors. To ensure the tie-off adaptor does not slide down a vertical or sloped anchorage, the tie-off adaptor must
be wrapped twice around the structure as shown in Figure 3. Refer to the tie-off adaptor instructions for complete
installation information. The horizontal lifeline may be secured directly to the anchorage when the anchorage in-
corporates a compatible attachment element that meets the requirements.
Secure each end of the horizontal lifeline to the anchorage connectors with the snap hook or carabiner.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no in-line tension indicator and it is recommended that the operator tension the ratchet
with one hand only on the handle, and with no external parts be used to further tighten the line. Normal working
tension is achieved by a one-handed operation will tension the webbing line satisfactorily.
Installation Tip: When attaching to the tie-off adaptor, connect carrying bag through handle to secure bag to the
end of the system. Note: Bag handle is not to be used as an anchorage connector, only to be held in place by
passing the connection through the handle.
Remove the slack from the horizontal lifeline by pulling the web through the ratchet tensioner by hand. At least
150 mm of web should be pulled through the ratchet tensioner prior to tensioning. Once the line is pulled through
the adjuster as tight as possible by hand, activate the ratchet by rotating the handle back and forth in a 180 de-
gree arc to tension the webbing line tight.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no in-line tension indicator and it is recommended that the operator tension the ratchet
with one hand only on the handle, and with no external parts be used to further tighten the line. Normal working
tension is achieved by a one-handed operation will tension the webbing line satisfactorily.
Installation Tip: When wound onto the central hub during tensioning, the webbing should have a minimum of 1.5
times the revolution of the ratchet hub. Should the webbing over fill the ratchet, it can jam requiring the operator
to release the line and start again.
Once tensioned, the ratchet handle must be pushed to the closed and locked position. Surplus webbing should be
folded and placed in the bag if attached or near the end of the system away from center work area
CONNECTING TO THE HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM: Approach the work area using the appropriate access
equipment. Connect your personal fall arrest system to one of the attachment O-rings on the horizontal lifeline.
Connectors must meet all compatibility and strength requirements.
HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS: Do not take unnecessary risks, such as jumping or reaching too far from the edge of
the working surface. Do not allow the connecting subsystem to pass under arms or between feet. To avoid inad-
equate clearance, do not climb above the horizontal lifeline. To avoid swing fall hazards, do not work too far from
either side of the horizontal lifeline.
TWO (2) PERSONS CONNECTED TO THE HLL: When a person falls while connected to the horizontal lifeline,
the system will deflect. If two (2) persons are connected to the same horizontal lifeline, and one (1) person falls,
