INSTALLATION – LANYARD ONLY
• Attach the lanyard to a PPE connection point of the
harness such as the sternal or ventral structural points.
• FortheDynamicI-LanyardandStaticI-Lanyard,
either connection eye may be connected to the
harness.
• FortheDynamicBullnoseLanyard,BOTHharness
connection eyes must be connected to the same
PPE connection point on the harness.
• UseanEN362connectorsuchasalockingcarabineror

• Thimbles are replaceable, use an appropriately sized
thimble for the cross section of the installed connector.
• At the option of the end user, the plastic thimbles in the
sewn terminations may be removed.
• For use as part of a fall arrest system, an energy absorb-
er must be used.
• Lanyardsarenotintendedforgirth-hitchorchoke-hitch
applications.
INSTALLATION – LANYARD WITH ENERGY
ABSORBER
• Total length of lanyard connected to an energy absorber
(includingterminationsandconnectors)mustnotexceed
2meters(80inches).
• The necessary free space in the work area beneath the
user must be adequate to avoid collision with the ground
or other obstacle in the fall path.
• Whenusedwithanenergyabsorbinglanyard,
• The manufacturer's instructions for the energy
absorbing lanyard must be followed.
• Connect the lanyard to an energy absorbing
lanyardwithanEN362connector.
• WithacompatibleEN362connector,itispossible
to connect two lanyards to one energy absorber to
createanenergy-absorbingY-Lanyard.
