the potential forces that could be encountered during a fall.
3.1 PLANNING: Plan your fall protection system prior to installation of the Self-Rescue System. Account for all factors that
may affect your safety before, during and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations and specifications defined in
Section 2 and Table 1.
3.2 HARNESS MOUNTING - STANDARD D-RING: On 3M or other manufacturers' Full Body Harnesses, the Self-Rescue
Descent System attaches to harness webbing directly below the Dorsal D-Ring (see Figure 8). To mount the
Self-Rescue System on the Harness:
1. Loosen the Harness Webbing: Pull out the Harness Straps (A) where they pass through the bottom of the Dorsal
D-Ring (B) until there is sufficient space to slide the Mounting Pin between the Harness Straps and Back Pad.
2. Open the Mounting Pin: Push in the Locking Buttons (A) simultaneously and slide the Locking Pin (B) out.
3. Cover the Harness Dorsal D-Ring: Unsnap the D-Ring Cover (A). Slide the D-Ring Cover over the Dorsal D-Ring
(B) of the Harness to prevent accidental connection to the wrong D-Ring when the Self-Rescue System is in use.
Snap the D-Ring Cover shut.
;
Covering the Harness Dorsal D-Ring is optional, but leaving the D-Ring uncovered allows accidental connection to the
wrong D-Ring; in which case, the Self-Rescue System is unusable in the event rescue descent is necessary.
4. Pin the Mounting Pin around the Harness Straps: Position the Mounting Pin (A) around the Web Straps (B). Push
the Locking Pin (C) in under the Web Straps until the Locking Buttons engage (pop out) and the Red Warning Ring
(D) is no longer visible. Pull the Harness Straps tight.
5. Attach and adjust the Clip Straps: Attach the Locking Clips (A) on each Clip Strap (B) to the Back Straps or Waist
Belt on the Harness. The webbing should pass through both slots on the Locking Clip so the Locking Clip does not
slide freely on the webbing. Adjust the Clip Straps so the Self-Rescue Backpack is centered on the users back and the
bottom of the Backpack can not flip up during use.
6. Secure the Release Cord to the Harness Shoulder Strap: Drape the Release Cord Shoulder Strap (A) over the
right Shoulder Strap (B) on the Harness. Fasten the Hook and Loop Strip (C) around the Shoulder Strap webbing.
3.3 HARNESS MOUNTING - EASY-LINK™ D-RING: On 3M Full Body Harnesses equipped with an Easy-Link™ Dorsal
D-Ring, the Self-Rescue Descent System attaches to the upper device adapter on the Easy-Link D-Ring (see Figure 9). To
mount the Self-Rescue System on the Harness:
1. Open the Mounting Pin: Push in the Locking Buttons (A) simultaneously and slide the Locking Pin (B) out.
2. Cover the Harness Dorsal D-Ring: Unsnap the D-Ring Cover (A). Slide the D-Ring Cover over the Dorsal D-Ring
(B) on the Harness to prevent accidental connection to the wrong D-Ring when the Self-Rescue System is in use.
Snap the D-Ring Cover shut.
;
Covering the Harness Dorsal D-Ring is optional, but leaving the D-Ring uncovered allows accidental connection to the
wrong D-Ring; in which case, the Self-Rescue System is unusable in the event rescue descent is necessary.
3. Pin the Mounting Pin to the Easy-Link D-Ring: Align the gate on the Mounting Pin (A) with the upper Easy-Link
Connection (B). Push the Locking Pin (C) through the Easy-Link Connection until the Locking Buttons engage (pop out)
and the Red Warning Ring (D) is no longer visible.
4. Attach and adjust the Clip Straps: Attach the Locking Clips (A) on each Clip Strap (B) to the Back Straps or Waist
Belt on the Harness. The webbing should pass through both slots on the Locking Clip so the Locking Clip does not
slide freely on the webbing. Adjust the Clip Straps so the Self-Rescue Backpack is centered on the users back and the
bottom of the Backpack can not flip up during use.
5. Secure the Release Cord to the Harness Shoulder Strap: Drape the Release Cord Shoulder Strap (A) over the Right
Shoulder Strap (B) on the Harness. Fasten the Hook and Loop Strip (C) around the Shoulder Strap webbing.
3.4 FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT ATTACHMENTS: The Self-Rescue Descent System is equipped with an Easy-Link™
D-Ring with attachment elements for Harness-Mounted Self-Retracting Devices (SRDs). Energy Absorbing Lanyards and
Overhead Anchorage SRDs attach to the D-Ring (see Figure 7). Harness Mounted SRDs are secured through the Easy-Link
Connection below the D-Ring with their designated Interface Connector (see Figure 10). See the instructions included with
the SRD for details regarding the Interface Connector and installation.
