FITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH
ATTACHMENT SLING (ATSL)
Prior to fitting the line as described previously
it is necessary to fit the two other attachment
slings (Fig. H) (SpanSet reference ATSL).
These should be positioned as high as
possible above the user, thus ensuring that in
the event of a fall the distance is kept to a
minimum. (Fig. I & Fig. J)
By fitting the attachment sling in the correct
configuration it will ensure that the Horizontal
Safety Line will remain in the position it is
Fig. H
fitted. This will aid assembly of the overall
system.
Important Points
1. Thoroughly inspect all components before
and after fitting.
2. Do not use additional bars or levers to
induce a higher tension in the line. This will
increase end anchor loads in the event of a
fall.
3. Ensure that harness/lanyard attachments,
Karabiners etc are free from sharp edges or
burrs.
4. Ensure that anchor points are adequate, at
Fig. I
least 15kN. (30kN for 2 persons)
5. Ensure that when using attachment straps
the sleeve is suitably positioned to prevent
any abrasion or cutting of the straps.
NOTE: Clearance Required Below user
Due to the fact that the line deflects when
loaded, users and installers must consider
the clearance required below the
Horizontal Safety Line to ensure the users
safety in the event of a fall. The danger to
the user can be greatly reduced if the line
is installed at head height, and/or shorter
lanyards are used to connect. These
factors combine to reduce the potential
