Model: Size:
Read, understand and follow all instructions, cautions and warnings attached to and/or packed with
■
this and all occupational protective equipment before each use.
For use by properly trained professionals only.
■
Employer – Before allowing the use of this equipment, instruct your employees as to its proper use
■
and alert them to these warnings.
Do NOT use units with steel cable near electrical lines or equipment.
■
Never work without independent fall-arrest protection if there is danger of a fall.
■
ONLY attach snap hook on end of lanyard without steel cable pigtail to the rear fall-arrest D-ring on
■
harness.
Fall-arrest anchorage must support a minimum of 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per attached worker and be
■
independent of worker support.
Rig to avoid contact with structures below in a fall. Free-fall distance must not exceed 6 ft. (1.8m).
■
To allow for deceleration unit extension, add 3-1/2 ft. (1m) to free-fall distance.
For fall-arrest, always keep anchorage at or above shoulder height, and minimize slack in the
■
lanyard. If climbing above anchorage, attach to a new anchorage higher up.
OSHA requires that impact force in a fall NOT exceed an 1,800 lb. (8kN) limit with a harness. At a
■
given weight, the longer the free fall, the greater the resulting impact force. Therefore, minimize slack in
fall-arrest connecting device or use deceleration unit to stay under 1,800 lbs. (8kN).
Connecting devices must be destroyed if subjected to impact loading.
■
Always visually check that: 1) Snap hook at end of lanyard without pigtail freely engages the center
■
back fall-arrest D-ring on harness, 2) snap-hook at base of steel cable pigtail freely engages eye, and 3)
the snap-hook keeper (gate) is completely closed with each use. Never rely solely on feel or sound in
attempting to determine that a snap hook is engaged. Have a co-worker check for proper engagement.
Before each use check that: 1) unit is free of burns, cuts, abrasions, broken strands or stitches,
■
kinks, knots or excessive wear, 2) locking snap hooks and thimble are not distorted or cracked, and 3)
hook keepers are free of burrs, functioning properly, clean and not bent. If the unit does not pass the
inspection, it should be removed from service immediately and destroyed or reinspected by a
competent person as defined by OSHA to determine its usability.
Make sure each snap hook is positioned so that its keeper (gate) is never load bearing.
■
Only use locking snap hooks.
■
Occupational Protective Equipment (OPE) must only be used for the specific purpose for which it is
■
designed and intended.
Use only with harness meeting OSHA standards for fall arrest.
■
Never wrap a rope lanyard around a beam. It is NOT intended to be used that way and could result
■
in serious injury or death. Instead, always wrap STEEL CABLE PIGTAIL around structural anchorage
(i.e., beam) and attach cable eye to the locking snap hook.
Never allow a rope or webbing lanyard to come in contact with high-temperature surfaces, welding
■
or other heat sources.
Never allow a lanyard to come in contact with moving or rotating machinery. Use pouch to store
■
lanyard when not in use.
Never attach a lanyard back onto itself or attach multiple lanyards together.
■
Never tie knots in lanyards. Knots can reduce the strength of the lanyard up to 50%.
■
Never attach multiple snap hooks onto a D-ring.
■
Never disable locking keeper (latch) on snap hook or alter a connecting device in any way.
■
Never join two snap hooks together. They are NOT intended to be used that way, and could twist
■
apart.
For personal use only, NOT for towing or hoisting.
■
NOT for recreational or sporting use.
■
Assume the responsibility for determining that your OPE equipment is in excellent condition at all
■
times.
Store your OPE equipment out of direct sunlight and in a clean, dry area.
■
Klein strongly recommends that Klein components NOT be interchanged with other components
■
made by other manufacturers because Klein cannot guarantee that other manufacturers' components
are free of defects in materials or workmanship.
