14.0 ROPE PROTECTOR INSTALLATION
Great care should be taken to ensure the lifeline does not come into contact with any type of edge or rough abrasive surfaces. Contact with any edge or rough
abrasive surfaces requires abrasion protection (Figure 17).
1. The 018-9000 / 018-9001 rope protectors are suitable for use with any type of rope lifeline.
2. The 018-9000 rope protector is 18" (45.72 cm) long. The 018-9001 rope protector is 36" (91.44 cm) long. Both sizes have sewn in hook and loop fastener
material along the entire length of the protector.
3. Place rope into the protector by pulling apart the hook and loop fastener along the length of the protector.
4. After opening up the protector, position the protector on the rope where it will be required, and enclose the rope in the protector by resealing the hook and
loop fastener. Each protector has a sewn in web loop at either end for attachment to the rope lifeline. Attachment can be performed with a small bungee style
cord, plastic zip tie, or with an alpine butterfly knot and carabiner.
5. Figure 17 indicates the 018-9000 / 018-9001 in typical installation configurations.
WARNING: AVOID USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT NEAR EDGES OR ABRASIVE SURFACES. IF UNAVOIDABLE,
15.0 5 LB. ROPE COUNTERWEIGHT INSTALLATION
VLLs must remain taut during work operations. Connect the free (non-anchorage) end of the rope lifeline to a minimum 5 lbs. counterweight, such as the
021-7014 (Figure 18). Allow the counterweight to swing freely at the end of the VLL. User must ensure the free end of the VLL is equipped with a stitched
termination, appropriate knot, or other method, to prevent the grab from traveling off the end of the VLL.
