Use the proper method of coupling to anchorage.
Do not use incompatible connectors with this device. Use only Miller approved connectors/connecting devices,
such as auto-locking snap hooks and carabiners. Always ensure that connectors are fully closed and locked when
in use.
(Refer to separate instructions supplied with the connecting device.)
Always work directly under the anchor point to avoid a swing-fall injury.
Always check for obstructions below the work area to make sure potential fall path is clear and allow adequate fall
clearance below the work surface.
The authorized person/user shall have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it when using this equipment.
Remove unit from service if subjected to fall arrest forces. This product is not designed to be repaired or altered in any way.
Never use fall protection equipment for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
Equipment must not be exposed to environmental hazards and chemicals which may produce a harmful effect.
Do not allow equipment to come in contact with anything that will damage it, including, but not limited to, sharp,
abrasive, rough or high-temperature surfaces, welding, heat sources, electrical hazards, or moving machinery.
Do not expose the equipment to any hazard which it is not designed to withstand. Consult the manufacturer in
cases of doubt.
Pregnant women and minors must not use this product.
Installation and Use of Miller Grip Model 496
Miller Grip Model #496 is designed to be used for fall protection applications, work positioning and restraint. It is not to be used in
any other anchoring situation. Only trained and competent personnel should install and use this equipment.
The device must be anchored in concrete substrate only. DO NOT use in steel, wood or any other substrate. Concrete must
have a compressive strength of at least 3,000 PSI (20.7MPa). Do not anchor in uncured/wet concrete.
The device may be installed in horizontal, vertical or overhead/ceiling surfaces. Note: For horizontal surface applications, the
Grip anchor must not be exposed to a greater than 90° bend.
The structure or substrate that this product is anchored to must be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) per user attached;
or be designed, installed and used, under the supervision of a qualified person, as part of a complete personal fall arrest system
which maintains a safety factor of at least two.
Anchorage requirements based on ANSI are as follows:
•
For fall arrest systems, anchorages must withstand a static load of 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) for non-certified anchorages or two times the maxi
mum arresting force for certified anchorages.
•
For positioning systems, anchorages must withstand a static load of 3,000 lbs. (13.3kN) for non-certified anchorages or two times the
foreseeable force for certified anchorages.
•
For travel restraint, anchorages must withstand a static load of 1,000 lbs. (4.5kN) for non-certified anchorages or two times the foresee
able force for certified anchorages.
•
When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the above anchorage strengths must be multiplied by the number of
personal fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
The Miller Grip Anchorage Connector is designed for use with Miller approved components. Substitution or replacement with
non-approved component combinations or subsystems or both may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other and
endanger the compatibility within the system. This incompatibility may affect the reliability and safety of the total system.
Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at least 3" deep.
Drill hole straight into substrate.
Never drill hole closer than 6" to any edge or corner.
Blow hole clean with compressed air.
When reusing a previously drilled hole, always inspect the hole
carefully. The previously drilled hole must be free of deforma-
tion. Drill another proper hole if needed.
Insert unit 3 inches deep into hole.
Set the device with a slight tug on the anchor loop.
Stop Sleeve
The
must always be partially inserted into the hole.
Remove device at the end of each day. Never leave inserted in a
hole overnight.
Inspect the anchorage connector for damage each time you use
it. If damage has occurred, dispose of device properly.
Never rely on a unit placed by unqualified workers.

WARNING!!
Do not drill a hole closer than 6"
from any edge or corner.
If a hole is 6" from an edge or corner, the
concrete substrate must be 12" thick and
12" wide (example - a 12" x 12" column).
If a hole is 8" from an edge or corner, the
concrete substrate must be 10" thick and
16" wide (example - a 10" x 16" column).
If a hole is 10" from an edge or corner, the
concrete substrate must be 8" thick and
20" wide (example – a 8" x 20" column).
If a hole is 12" or more from any edge or
corner, the concrete substrate must be 5"
thick.
