hand, firmly grasp throw line at secured end and
pull entire length, removing all kinks and knots.

2. Proper storage of Throw Line (Model 3111 Only)
Take one end of the throw line and secure to the web loop in the bottom of the throw bag (model 4560).
At this point the throw line is simply “Flaked” or “piled” end for end into the bag. Secure opposite end to
the steel ring on the bag and close the bag using draw string closure.
TO INSTALL THE ROOF TOP TEMPORARY FALL PROTECTION KIT:
1 . Determine the safest direction in which to throw the throwbag weight. (ie. If hazards exist at the rear of
the building such as vehicles, power lines or trees it will be necessary to throw the throwbag from the rear
to the front.) See figure 3.
2. Place throw line bag between you and your intended target. Open bag, untie end of throw line from steel
ring and secure throwing weight (model 3111 only). If not already attached, securely tie the throwbag to
the throwline.
The weight can be thrown using either a one or two hand method. See figures 1 & 2. Prior
to throwing weight, alert others with a verbal warning by shouting “Stand Clear”. Throw weight over
building being careful not to come in contact with windows or other hazards on or on opposite side of
building.
3. Once throw line is in place over the building, untie weight and secure one end of lifeline to throw line and
carefully pull lifeline over the building. See figure 4.
4. At this point it will be necessary to determine the area of the roof on which you will be working. If you
will be working on the rear side of the peak, you will need to attach your lifeline to a suitable anchor point
on the front side of the building. If you will be working on the front side of the peak, you will need to
attach your lifeline to a suitable anchor point on the rear side of the building.
*NOTE: If you will be working on both sides of the peak, the lifeline must be attached to a suitable
anchorage on both sides of the building. It will also be necessary to have second deceleration
lanyard/rope grab. This will ensure you are never disconnected from the lifeline at any point.
5. Anchor points (a tree, pole, or truck are all possibilities) must support a minimum of 5000 lbs. per attached
worker. The technician needs to assess the complete working environment and make a judgment that the
anchor point to be chosen is properly located, rigid, in good condition and adequate to meet the 5000 lb.
anchor requirements. General guidelines for tying off to a tree include but are not limited to: Tree must be
a healthy, sound tree with a minimum of 10" diameter; Tie off must be low to the base of the tree; Ensure
the tree has no excessive decay, root rot, etc. If unsure that the anchorage point is capable of supporting
the required loads, have verified by a qualified person before use. Once chosen, connect one of the
connectors attached to the lifeline to the anchorage.

6. Place ladder against the building or house on the side the equipment is to be installed.
7. Put on your harness and adjust it for proper fit. Attach the rope grab to the lifeline.
Connect the deceleration lanyard snaphook to harness dee ring.
8. Before you climb, ensure the lifeline is secured to a suitable anchorage near the base of the ladder
(do not tie or secure to ladder) or tied to a heavy object to ensure the rope grab travels up the rope.
9. If you should fall from an elevated position, the rope grab will lock, preventing serious injury or fatality.
10. To aid in allowing the rope grab to easily slide down the rope as you come down the roof and ladder,
you can hold the trip lever cam on the rope grab open. If you slip, remove your hand and the
ascender rope grab will lock, stopping your fall.
