Q: What is this lanyard intended for—restraint/positioning or fall arrest?
A: It’s a non–energy-absorbing web lanyard intended for restraint/positioning and compact tie-offs. For fall arrest, use it only as part of a system that includes an approved energy absorber and follow all label/manual limits.
Q: How do I connect the snaphook and the sewn loop correctly?
A: Clip the double-locking snaphook to a compatible, rated D-ring or anchorage connector. Use the sewn loop to girth-hitch a rated anchor strap or connect via a rated carabiner—keep proper orientation, ensure the gate fully auto-locks, and avoid side loading.
Q: Can I tie back to the lanyard or use it near sharp or leading edges?
A: No—do not tie back to its own webbing unless specifically rated for tie-back (this model is not). Protect the webbing from sharp edges and do not use for leading-edge applications.
Q: What inspections and limits should I follow before use?
A: Before each use, check webbing, stitching, labels, and the snaphook’s auto-lock/snap-back. Remove from service if there’s damage or after any significant impact/drop. Typical system limits include a user capacity of 130–310 lb (including tools/clothing) and 0 ft max free-fall in restraint; always verify on the product label and confirm required fall clearance for your setup.
