3.0 Connection and Installation
Miller Turbo T-BAK Tie-Back Personal Fall Limiters are specially designed with heavy-
duty, abrasion-resistant webbing and the 5K snap hook, which is capable of withstanding
5,000 lbs. of force on the snap hook gate from any angle, to allow connection back to the
web lifeline in a choking fashion. DO NOT attempt this type of connection with standard
TurboLite Personal Fall Limiters or other self-retracting lifelines which are not specifically
designed for such a connection.
Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury or death!
Connecting to the Harness
Attach the body of the personal fall limiter
to the back D-ring of the full-body harness
using the attached connector on the unit
(i.e., carabiner, snap hook, etc.) or another
Miller approved connector.
Installing to the Anchorage
Select an approved mounting location* that
meets all anchorage requirements, such as
an I-beam.
Wrap the lifeline around the anchorage and
connect the 5K snap hook to the lifeline in
a choking fashion. Ensure that the lifeline
is captured in the snap hook and the gate
of the snap hook is not obstructed in any
way. Verify that the snap hook is completely
closed and locked.

With the Miller Turbo T-BAK,
the size of the compatible anchorage
is only limited by the length of the lifeline,
making it the most versatile
tie-back retractable on the market today.

NOTE: The
button stop on
the webbing
serves only
to prevent the
lifeline from
retracting too
far into the unit.
It is not a factor
in installation.
