The 3M Ladder Climb Cable Vertical Lifeline is a pre-engineered fl exible vertical lifeline
system, designed as part of a complete personal fall arrest system, to help limit the fall arrest
forces in the event of a fall.
U I
SE NSTRUCTIONS
1. The complete fall protection system must be planned (including all components, calculating
fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.
2. Users must have a rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, that provides for the
prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall, or assures that employees are able to rescue
themselves.
U L
SE IMITATIONS
1. The 3M Ladder Climb Cable Vertical Lifeline is designed for a single user with a capacity
(including clothing, tools, etc.) up to 310 pounds (141 kg) total working weight.
2. Only approved 3M components may be used with the 3M Ladder Climb Cable Vertical
Lifeline.
3. Only full body harness that meet the ANSI Z359.1-2007, ANSI Z359.11 and/or CSA Z259.10
standard may be used with the 3M Ladder Climb Cable Vertical Lifeline.
4. The lower end of the 3M Ladder Climb Cable Vertical Lifeline shall have a termination that

line is installed, the bottom end shall have a counterweight to provide stiffness.
ANCHORAGE REQUIREMENTS
A
NCHORAGES
All anchorages in which the 3M Ladder Climb Cable Vertical Lifeline attaches must meet the
requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and ANSI Z359.1-2007. OSHA states:
Anchorages to which personal fall arrest equipment is attached shall be capable of supporting
at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used
as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two,
under the supervision of a qualifi ed person.
ANSI Z359.1-2007 states that anchorages in a personal fall arrest system must have a strength
capable of sustaining static loads, applied in all permitted directions by the system, of at least:
(a) two times the maximum arrest force permitted on the system when certifi cation exists, or
(b) 5,000 pounds (22.2kN) in the absence of certifi cation.
The strength in (a) and (b) must be multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest systems
attached to the anchorage, when more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to the
anchorage.

NCHORAGE ONNECTORS
Anchorage connectors are components that couple the personal fall arrest system to the
anchorage. The end anchorage connectors are designed to resist and transfer to the end anchorage
at least two times the maximum arrest load.
Misuse or failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
