A. INSTALLATION OF TOP BRACKET:
Direct Connection to Ladder:
See Figure 6 for typical installation of the top bracket onto a square rung ladder. The top bracket should
be positioned to allow users safe access when connecting or disconnecting from the system. The top
bracket is typically mounted in the center of the climbing surface for ease of climbing, but may be
located towards the side of the ladder if required.
• The top bracket is installed with the top connection to the top rung, and a connection to the third and
fourth rungs. Install rung connections using the hardware provided. Do not substitute other fasteners.
Torque fasteners to 12-13 ft-lbs (16.3-17.6 N-m).
Ladder Rung Support:
See Figure 7. Install ladder rung support (A) at each Lad-Saf component connection point shown (B).
Install cotter pins (C) at each end and bend cotter pins legs to lock. The ladder rungs must be supported
in order to meet required strengths. The rung support piece can be used on those rungs supporting top
brackets, cable guides and bottom brackets.
The ladder or climbing structure must be evaluated by a qualifi ed engineer to determine if the load
requirements for the system with rung supports are satisfi ed.
3.4 INSTALLATION OF CARRIER CABLE TO TOP BRACKET:
Keep the carrier cable and carrier clamp clean during installation. Contamination of
WARNING:
the carrier clamp or cable could cause the clamp to malfunction.
A. INSTALLATION OF GALVANIZED CARRIER CABLE:
1. Lay the carrier cable out on the ground in a clean area by rolling the coil. Do not pull cable from center
of coil. For some installations it may be easier to lower the carrier cable from the top connection level
down to the bottom bracket. If so, carefully lower the cable by unspooling without twisting the cable at
the top connection. Do not drop the cable to the lower level.
Carrier cable is very stiff and may spring out of coil unexpectedly. Use caution
WARNING:
when unrolling cable. Use appropriate safety gear, including gloves and safety glasses,
when unrolling cable.
Inspect the cable for shipping damage before proceeding. Do not install damaged cable.
2. See components in Figure 9:
A Cap
B. Carrier Clamp
C. Washer
D. Shock Absorber
E. Top Bracket Pipe
F . Carrier Cable
G. Minimum 1.0 in. (2.5 cm), maximum 2 in. (5.1 cm)
Install the galvanized carrier cable into the top bracket. Ensure the end of cable is free of kinks and unraveled
strands. Pass the cable up through the top bracket pipe and the urethane shock absorber . Install the washer
and carrier clamp onto cable with the cone of carrier clamp pointing down. At least 1.0 in. (2.5 cm), but no
more than 2 in. (5.1 cm). of cable must protrude through the carrier clamp.
Excess cable protruding through the carrier clamp may prevent installation of the cap.
WARNING:
If this occurs, cut off extra cable. Do not remove carrier clamp from cable to avoid damage to the
carrier clamp.
Seat the carrier clamp into shock absorber by pulling fi rmly on carrier clamp below the top
bracket pipe. Install cap by seating it fi rmly onto the pipe.
