12.3 SELF-TRACKING ROPE GRAB INSTALLATION
1. User must inspect the FS1118-DC and FS1120 for any obvious signs of damage or defects prior to each use.
2. User must be aware of, and seek to minimize, any swing fall hazards that may exist.
3. Ensure adequate fall clearance exists for the equipment being used and associated work operations
4. When used with an ANSI compliant Energy Absorbing Lanyard (EAL), the energy absorber attaches directly to the users appropriate D-ring, with the opposite
end of the lanyard attaching to the grab.
5. The FS1118-DC is a removable self-tracking rope grab for VLL operations. The FS1118-DC installs in virtually the same manner as the FS1118 and FS1120.
The only difference being the first step in the process. Rather than rotating the safety lever all the way up as done with the FS1118 and FS11120, simply push
in on the safety lever to begin loosening the knurled locking knob (Figure 10).
6. The FS1118-DC is also equipped with an anti-inversion cam in the hinge. This prevents the grab from opening or closing if in the wrong orientation relative to
the rope. When installing, ensure that the arrow is pointing up (Figure 10).
7. NEVER grab the Fall Arrester during a fall! Doing so may allow the unit to disengage and the Fall Arrester to slip along the Vertical Lifeline!

12.4 TRAILING ROPE GRAB INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. User must inspect the SW-EX8000 for any obvious signs of damage or defects prior to each use.
2. User must be aware of, and seek to minimize, any swing fall hazards that may exist.
3. Ensure adequate fall clearance exists for the equipment being used and associated work operations
4. When used with an ANSI compliant Energy Absorbing Lanyard (EAL), the energy absorber attaches directly to the users appropriate D-ring, with the opposite
end of the lanyard attaching to the grab.
5. Ensure the SW-EX8000 is in correct orientation to the VLL with the indicator arrow pointing up (Figure 11). Rotate the sliding plate open and verify the locking
wheel is in the GO position (Step 1).
6. Insert the rope ensuring the device remains the correct vertical orientation (Step 2).
7. Rotate the sliding plate closed (Step 3).
8. Install an ANSI Z359.12 compliant connector through the connection slot (Step 4).
9. Pull upward on the connector to verify that the rope grab moves freely along the lifeline (Step 5).
10. Proper function of the SW-EX8000 can be tested by again pulling up on the connector, and then rapidly pulling downward to ensure the grab locks onto the
rope and stops (Step 6). Figure 11 illustrates proper installation of the SW-EX8000.
