4 Pre-adjust outside strap to the size of the pole. To adjust the
outside strap undo buckle tongue from outer strap and locate
hole according to diameter of the pole. The closest hole to the
free end of the outer strap is the maximum pole size and the
hole closest to the D-ring is the minimum pole size. Secure
outer strap to adjustment buckle with buckle tongue.
5 Pass the Outer Strap D-ring sub-assembly around the pole with
your left hand and right hand is holding carabiner sub-assembly
as shown. With right hand grasping carabiner, unlock gate by
twisting the knurled gate and pushing the gate open toward
the inside of the carabiner. Connect outer strap assembly with
D-ring to the carabiner sub-assembly.
6 On larger pole diameters you may need to adjust double end
portion of the inner strap to accommodate pole diameter
by pressing on cam paddle to release additional inner strap
material. For easier connecting of the carabiner to the outer strap,
leave slack in the double end of the inner strap by pressing on
cam paddle.
7 Adjust outer strap to pole diameter as necessary to maintain
a 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock position of the hardware in relation
to the pole. When the pole is viewed as a clock face hardware
must be in this position. Cam bracket is located at 9 o’clock and
the carabiner sub-assembly is located at 3 o’clock.
8 Make sure the inner and outer straps lie flat without twisting
against the pole and the buckle tongue is turned outward.
9 Before placing your full weight on the Wood Pole Fall Restrict
Device (WPFRD), visually check that each locking snap hook
freely engages the D-ring and that the keepers are completely
closed. Never rely solely on the feel or sound of the snap hook
engaging.
Failure to maintain hardware at this position may
not allow the Wood Pole Fall Restrict Device (WPFRD) to stop
your fall. Serious injury or death could result.
