MAKING CONNECTIONS

Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/or twist lock.
Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not
compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
SafeWaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each
product's user's instructions. See figure 4 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect
snap hooks and carabiners:
• To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
• In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back hooks).
• NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a load on the
gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI
Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to
verify its compatibility.
NOTE: Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which
will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with
ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on
your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your application.
• In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor, and
without visual confirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.
• To each other.
• By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as allowed for Tie Back models (see
section 4.5).
• To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that
roll-out could occur.
• In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
