Installation and Use
WARNING!
RTFA MUST NEVER be
used in Leading Edge (LE) applications.
ALWAYS avoid lifeline contact with sharp
or abrasive edges and surfaces, both
during use and in event of a fall.
Never work outside of a 45° cone beneath
the device (22.5° either side of vertical), if
a fall were to occur the device would lock
and the user would swing like a pendulum
and may sustain injury from this hazard.
Never run or jump whilst attached to the
unit, walking at a steady pace will ensure
that the device does not sense a fall.
Ensure the lifeline is free to extend and
retract from the device, and that the
brake engages with a sharp jerk, before
use. The line between the user and the
device must be taught at all times.
For RTFA Dual Kits, assemble and use
RTFA according to instruction sheet
provided with Dual RTFA Bracket.
If using RTFA with scaffold hook, RTFA
housing must always be attached at
harness dorsal D-ring. Scaffold hook
must ONLY be connected to structural
rebar, or other structural anchor (such
as angle iron or concrete form) deemed
compatible with RTFA by a Competent
Person.
Step 1
All components of the personal fall arrest
system must be selected and deemed
compatible with RTFA by a Competent Person.

Step 2
Ensure area where work is to be performed is
free of all hazards, including, but not limited to,
debris, rot, rust, sharp or abrasive edges and
surfaces, and hazardous materials.
Step 3
Anchor point must be located above harness
D-ring at a sufficient height to prevent freefall.
Standard Overhead Use (all variants)
Step 4a
Attach RTFA housing to anchor point with
provided karabiner, or equivalent EN362:2004
compliant connector, and attach lifeline
connector to applicable harness D-ring. Ensure
that the hook of the device is secure in the
harness D-ring and that the gate of the hook
is locked.
Inverted Use (FAB3W only)
Step 4b
To use FAB3W with housing at harness, attach
the anchorage connection point to the dorsal
D-ring via the provided karabiner, dual RTFA
bracket or equivalent EN362:2004 compliant
connector, then attach lifeline connector to
suitable anchorage point.
