and D-pad and that it is completely closed and locked (see Fig. 3c and 3d)
IMPORTANT!
Pin must be completely closed and locked; red band on pin must not be visible (see Fig.
4a).
Pin must be captured behind BOTH webbing straps; do not capture pin between webbing
straps (see Fig. 4b).
Do not attach harness connector to D-ring (see Fig. 4c).
Ensure correct orientation of the harness connector. The shock absorber pack should be
behind the body of the retractable with the pin being inserted from right to left for correct
orientation. Do not install backwards (see Fig. 4d).
4.2 Installation to Anchorage
1) Locate an approved anchorage following all general anchorage requirements as well as the
additional requirements for leading edge applications found in "4. Installation/Use para-
graph". If an anchorage connector is used, make sure it is compatible with the anchorage and
lifeline end connector in regards to strength, size, and shape. Follow all instructions provided
with the anchorage connector.
2) Connect the lifeline end connector to the anchorage (or anchorage connector, if appli-
cable). Make sure that connector is completely closed and locked and that its gate is not in a
position to be load-bearing.
4.3 Use of Single and Twin Systems
Verify all connections within the personal fall arrest system for compatibility and proper as-
sembly and installation. Make sure all connectors are closed and locked. Ensure adequate
fall clearance (see 5 - Fall Clearance).
A dual or twin TurboLite Edge Personal Fall Limiter System is designed to provide a user with
two connecting devices for continuous 100% tie-off fall protection (see Fig. 5a). It is accept-
able to work with both PFLs connected to the same anchorage or to different anchorages. To
retain 100% tie-off, one PFL must be connected to an anchorage at all times.

5.1 Calculating Fall Clearance Required for Leading Edge Applications
When a TurboLite Edge Personal Fall Limiter is used in a leading edge application, use the Fall
Clearance Tables in Appendix A to determine minimum required fall clearance.
5.2 Calculating Fall Clearance Required for Overhead Applications
It is essential to understand how to calculate the fall clearance distance required for each
work application to avoid contact with a lower level.
The basic calculation shown below and the related diagrams in Appendix B may be used to de-
termine Required Fall Clearance when using a self-retracting lifeline in an overhead application.
SELF-RETRACTING LIFELINE FALL CLEARANCE CALCULATION FOR OVER-
HEAD APPLICATIONS (see Appendix B: Diagram 1)
[Calculation taken from work level]
Maximum Arrest Distance (MAD)

CAUTION:
Read all notes and refer to all self-retracting lifeline fall clearance diagrams and labels
to determine exact required fall clearance for your application.
