4. O-rings and sliders: Guardian provides <br />(2) 2½” O-rings that should be applied <br />to the cable lifeline to allow compatible <br />attachment of snap hooks and other <br />connecting devices. <br />O-rings and sliders must be attached to the <br />lifeline before the system is complete. <br />For systems with multiple intermediate <br />anchor points or for any other questions, <br />contact Guardian. <br />Table 1 <br />Clip Size <br />(in.) <br />Rope Size <br />(in.) <br />Minimum <br /># of Clips <br />Amount of <br />Rope to Turn <br />Back (in.) <br />Torque <br />(ft. lb.) <br />3/16 <br />1/4 <br />5/16 <br />3/8 <br />7/16 <br />1/2 <br />9/16 <br />5/8 <br />3/4 <br />7/8 <br />1 <br />11/8 <br />1¼ <br />13/8 <br />1½ <br />3/16 <br />1/4 <br />5/16 <br />3/8 <br />7/16 <br />1/2 <br />9/16 <br />5/8 <br />3/4 <br />7/8 <br />1 <br />11/8 <br />1¼ <br />13/8 <br />1½ <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />3 <br />3 <br />3 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />5 <br />6 <br />6 <br />7 <br />4 <br />4 <br />5 <br />5¼ <br />6½ <br />11 <br />12¾ <br />13½ <br />16 <br />26 <br />37 <br />41 <br />55 <br />62 <br />78 <br />30 <br />30 <br />30 <br />45 <br />65 <br />65 <br />130 <br />130 <br />225 <br />225 <br />225 <br />360 <br />360 <br />500 <br />500 <br />If greater number of clips than shown are used, amount of turn-back should be increased proportionately. <br />Torque values shown are based upon the threads being clean, dry, and free of lubrication. <br />9 <br />Maintenance, Cleaning, and Storage <br />If Metal Energy Absorber fails inspection in any way, immediately remove it from service, and contact <br />Guardian to inquire about its return or repair. <br />Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of Metal Energy Absorber. Remove <br />all dirt, corrosives, and contaminants from Metal Energy Absorber before and after each use. If Metal Energy <br />Absorber cannot be cleaned with plain water, use mild soap and water, then rinse and wipe dry. NEVER clean <br />Metal Energy Absorber with corrosive substances. <br />When not in use, store equipment where it will not be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, chemicals, <br />or other degrading elements. <br />Prior to EACH use, inspect Metal Energy Absorber for deficiencies, including, but not limited to, corrosion, <br />deformation, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint buildup, excessive heating, <br />alteration, and missing or illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove Metal Energy Absorber from service if defects <br />or damage are found, or if exposed to forces of Fall Arrest. <br />Ensure that applicable work area is free of all damage, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, decay, <br />cracking, and hazardous materials. Ensure that selected work area will support the application-specific <br />minimum loads set forth in this instruction manual. Work area MUST be stable. <br />At least every 12 months, a Competent Person other than the user must inspect Metal Energy Absorber. <br />Competent Person inspections MUST be recorded in inspection log in instruction manual and on <br />equipment inspection grid label. The Competent Person must sign their initials in the box <br />corresponding to the month and year the inspection took place. <br />During inspection, consider all applications and hazards Metal Energy Absorber has been subjected to. <br />Inspection
