Guardian 00235 Instruction Manual

Read This Instruction Manual Carefully Before Using This Equipment.

User Instructions must always be available to the user and are not to be removed except by the user of this equipment. For proper use, see
supervisor, User Instructions, or contact the manufacturer.

Compliant fall protection and emergency rescue systems help prevent serious injury during fall arrest. Users and purchasers of this equip­ment must read and understand the User Instructions provided for correct use and care of this product. All users of this equipment must
understand the instructions, operation, limitations and consequences of improper use of this equipment and be properly trained prior to
use per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.503 or applicable local standards. Misuse or failure to follow warnings and instructions may result

in serious personal injury or death.

PURPOSE

The

00235

is an anchorage connector designed to function as an interface between the anchorage and a fall protection, work positioning,
rope access, or rescue system for the purpose of coupling the system to the anchorage. Any references to “anchorage connector” in this
manual include, and apply to, the

00235

.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR

1910.66 in the safe use of the system and its components.

2. Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage must have the strength capable
of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at least 5,000-lbf (22.2 kN) in the absence of
certication.

3. Use of this product must be approved by an Engineer or other qualied person to be compatible with any and all structural
& operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be connected to this anchorage connector.
Improper use may result in serious personal injury or death.

4. The anchorage connector must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration. If defective
components are found the anchorage connector must be immediately removed from service, in accordance with the
Requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.

5. The complete fall protection system must be planned (including all components, calculating fall clearance, and swing fall)
before using.

6. A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue of users in the
event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.

7. After a fall occurs the anchorage connector must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.

USE LIMITATIONS

1. The anchorage connector is designed for a single user, with a capacity up to 310 lbs (140 kg) user including clothing, tools,
etc.

2. The anchorage connector is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to +130ºF (-40°C to +54°C).

3. Do not expose the anchorage connector to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful eect.

4. Do not alter or modify this product in anyway.

5. Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall protection, work positioning, rope access, or rescue system near
moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as contact may cause equipment failure, personal
injury, or death.

6. Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a “competent person” as defined by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.32(f).

7. Do not remove the labeling from this product.

8. Additional requirements and limitations may apply depending on anchorage type and fastening option utilized for
installation. All placements must be approved by an engineer or other qualied person. Improper use may result in serious

personal injury or death.

9. This anchorage connector should not be used as part of a horizontal lifeline system that has not been designed and or

approved to be used with 5,000-lbf anchorage connectors.

COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS

The anchorage connector must only be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snaphooks from being
engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and it must be “designed for” making such
a connection. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snaphook specifically designed the snaphook to be used to connect to
the equipment listed. The following connections must be avoided, because they can result in rollout* when a nonlocking snaphook is used:

• Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.

• Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.

• Two snaphooks connected to each other.

• A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.

• A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.

• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snaphook dimensions that would allow the
snaphook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.

*Rollout: A process by which a snaphook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to which it is
coupled. (ANSI Z359.1-2007)

MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND STORAGE

Cleaning periodically will prolong the life and proper functioning of the product. The frequency of cleaning should be determined by
inspection and by severity of the environment. Clean with compressed air and/or a sti brush using plain water or a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use any corrosive chemicals that could damage the product. Wipe all surfaces with a clean dry cloth and hang to dry, or use
compressed air. When not in use, store anchorage connectors in a cool, dry, clean environment, out of direct sunlight and free of corrosive
or other degrading elements.

Inspection:

Ocial periodic inspection must be made at least annually. The inspection must be
performed by a qualied person other than the intended user. If severe weather or
conditions exist then inspections must be carried out more frequently. All inspection
results must be logged in the space provided above.

1. Inspect unit for visible signs of damage or wear that could aect operation. For
example: kinked or frayed cables.

2. Make sure all labeling is axed to the unit.

3. Check spoons and end termination operate smoothly with no metal burrs.

4. When reusing a previously drilled hole, inspect for debris or wallowing.

5. Record inspection results in the space provide above.

*If any damage that could aect the strength or operation of the device, or
unsafe conditions are found, proper disposal is required. The anchorage
connector must be rendered unusable and then properly discarded.

1. Drill a 3/4” (19mm) diameter hole at least 3.5” (89mm) deep. The drilled hole must be straight and perpendicular

to the surface. Make sure the hole is of uniform diameter and free of peaks and valleys on the inner wall.

2. Blow hole clean with compressed air.

3. Always inspect the hole carefully when reusing a previously drilled hole.

4. When placing anchor, place your thumb inside the anchor loop and your rst two ngers around the trigger.

Squeeze ngers and thumb together till the trigger and spring fully compress.

5. Insert unit at least 3” (76mm) deep into hole and release the trigger. (Do not force.)

6. Set the unit with a slight tug on the anchor loop.
