1. Ensure either that there is always adequate fall clearance for VLA to arrest fall (Fall Arrest), or that VLA will
not allow the user to reach the leading edge of any fall hazard (Fall Restraint). Eliminate or minimize all risk of
swing fall.
* NEVER tie knots in lifeline, and always ensure end of lifeline is
terminated to eliminate risk of detachment of Fall Arrester.
2. Attach VLA snap hook to compatible anchorage connector. If VLA has
integral shock pack, shock pack end must connect to anchor.
* NEVER install VLA in a tie-back method (do not wrap VLA around
anchor point and connect snap hook back to rope).
3. Attach Fall Arrester/Extension Lanyard to applicable harness D-ring.
* If working in Fall Arrest, and if VLA rope does not include integral
shock absorber, Fall Arrester/Extension Lanyard must include
shock absorber.
4. To move along lifeline, compress and hold Fall Arrester handle.
ALWAYS adjust Fall Arrester to reduce slack in the system as much
as possible. When attached to Fall Arrester and moving along work
surface, ALWAYS do so by moving Fall Arrester along rope, and
NEVER by moving only the rope itself. For example, if moving from
a roof edge to the roof peak, engage handle of Fall Arrester and
move it up the VLA while walking to peak. DO NOT move up to
roof peak by moving VLA and keeping Fall Arrester stationary;
doing so can create free fall in excess of levels permitted by system.
5. To restrict Fall Arrester movement along lifeline, release Fall Arrester
handle. NEVER grab the Fall Arrester in the event of a fall; doing so may
cause the unit to accidentally disengage and slip along the rope.
