3.4 BODY SUPPORT: When using the DBI-SALA swiveling roof anchor, it is recommended that a full body
harness be worn. For general fall protection use, connect to the D‑ring on the back between the shoulders
(dorsal D‑ring).
IMPortant: Body belts are not allowed for free fall situations. Body belts increase the risk of injury during fall
arrest in comparison to a full body harness. Limited suspension time and the potential for improperly wearing a
body belt may result in added danger to the user's health.
3.5 CONNECTING TO THE LEAP ANCHOR: Figure 13 illustrates the proper connection of typical fall arrest
equipment to the LEAP anchor. Always protect the lifeline from abrading against sharp or abrasive surfaces
on the roof. Make sure all the connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Never connect more
than one personal protective system to any single LEAP anchor at a time.
SRL: Connection to the installed LEAP
anchor may be made by attaching the
self locking snap hook at the end of the
SRL lifeline to the back dorsal D‑ring (fall
arrest attachment point) of the user's
body support (i.e. full body harness).
When connecting, make sure the
connections are fully closed and locked.
Review section 3.2 if using an SRL near
sharp edges.
ENERGY ABSORBING LANYARDS OR
LIFELINE: Connect the energy absorbing
end of the lanyard to the back D-ring on
the full body harness (see section 3.4).
See manufacturer's instruction for more information.
3.6 NORMAL OPERATION: Once attached, the worker is free to move about within the recommended working
areas.
SRL: Should a fall occur, a speed sensing brake system will activate, stopping the fall and absorbing much of
the energy created. Sudden or quick movements should be avoided during the normal work operation since
this may cause the SRL to lock‑up.
ENERGY ABSORBING LANYARD: Should a fall occur, the energy absorber with deploy, stopping the fall
and absorbing much of the energy created.
If a fall has been arrested, the system must be taken out of service and inspected, see section 5.0.
4.0 traInIng
4.1 It is the responsibility of all users of this equipment to understand these instructions, and are trained
in the correct installation, use, and maintenance of this equipment. These individuals must be aware of
the consequences of improper installation or use of this equipment. This user manual is not a substitute for a
comprehensive training program. Training must be provided on a periodic basis to ensure proficiency of the users.
5.0 InsPectIon
5.1 BEFORE EACH INSTALLATION: Inspect the counterweight components, and other system components
according to these or other manufacturer's instructions. System components must be formally inspected by
a qualified person (other than the user) at least annually. Formal inspections should concentrate on visible
signs of deterioration or damage to the system components. Items found to be defective must be replaced.
Do not use components if inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition. Record results of each
inspection in the inspection and maintenance log in section 10.0 of this manual.
IMPortant: If this equipment has been subjected to forces resulting from the arrest of a fall, it must be
immediately removed from service and destroyed or returned to DBI‑SALA for possible repair. See section ..
5.2 INSPECTION STEPS:
Step 1. Check the base plates for excessive dents or deformations. Make sure the counterweights will lay
flat on the base plates. Check the base plates for delamination of the rubber coating. If the coating
has loose edges that may catch or double back on itself, the base plate should be replaced.
