5.0 Installation and Use
5.1
Single SRL Installation to Full Body Harness
: Installation for Single-leg configuration of the FT-X Web to the dorsal D-ring of a full
body harness follows the steps listed below:
Step 1:
Connect an approved carabiner through the swivel eye above the housing
Step 2:
Connect the approved carabiner with SRL to the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness.
Step 3:
Connect the leg-end connector of the SRL to the anchorage or anchorage connector. See Figure 3.
WARNING
Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult FallTech when using this equipment in combination with components or subsys-
tems other than those described in this manual. All components or subsystems used with the SRD discussed in this manual must be in
compliance with ANSI Z359 and/or OSHA.
Do not use rebar hooks, large carabiners or large snap hooks to connect to the FBH dorsal D-rings or to any small diameter non-compatible
anchor point as this may cause a roll-out condition and/or unintentional disengagement.
Avoid sharp and /or abrasive surfaces and edges
4.7
Personal Fall Arrest System Anchorage Strength:
An anchorage selected for PFAS application must have the strength to sustain a static
load applied in the direction permitted by the PFAS of at least:
a. Two times the maximum arrest force permitted when certification exists, or
b. 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) in the absence of certification.
Select an anchorage location carefully. Consider structural strength, obstructions in the fall path, and swing fall hazards. In certain
situations, the qualified person can determine that a given structure is able to withstand the applied MAF of the PFAS with a safety factor
of at least two, as required by OSHA.
