3.0 Installation
3.1 PLANNING: Plan your fall protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety
before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements and limitations defined in this manual.
3.2 HARNESS MOUNTING: Rebel SRDs include a Harness Interface for mounting the SRD on a Full Body Harness below the
Dorsal Attachment Element. The Harness Interface can attach to the Harness Shoulder Straps or a Personal SRL Link on
the Dorsal Attachment Element (see Figure 7):
Single SRL Full Body Harness Mounting: The Rebel SRL can be connected to the harness dorsal D-Ring with a
Carabiner or Snap Hook. (See Figure 8, connection examples 1 and 2). Some Rebel models include a Carabiner. All include
a Snap Hook.
Connect the Swivel Eye (Rebel components identified in Figure 2) to the D-Ring on the harness using the Carabiner
included with some Rebel models (or use a suitably rated connector), or use the included Snap Hook to connect to the
D-Ring. The opposite end of the Rebel must be connected to an anchorage point (see Section 2.3) with an included
Carabiner (or a suitably rated connector), or the included Snap Hook.
Twin SRL Harness Mounting using a Carabiner: Some Rebel SRL models include a Carabiner (identified in Figure 2)
which can connect two Rebel SRLs to a Full Body Harness when climbing applications require 100% tie-off. The Carabiner
mounts two Rebel SRDs side-by-side just below the harness Dorsal D-Ring. (See Figure 8, connection example 3)
To mount two Rebel SRDs on a Full Body Harness with the Carabiner: (See Figure 7. A - Web Straps;
B - Dorsal D-Ring; C - Swivel Eye, SRL)
Step 1: Loosen the Harness Webbing: Pull out on the Web Straps (A) where they pass through the
bottom of the Dorsal D-Ring (B) until there is sufficient space to slide the Carabiner between the
Web Straps and D-Ring Pad.
Step 2: Open the Triple-Action Carabiner: Lift up on the Carabiner Gate (1) and twist it 45 degrees
(2) to align the slot in the gate with the Carabiner frame. Push the Gate (3) inward to open the
Carabiner.
Step 3: Mount the first Rebel SRD on the Carabiner: Insert the Carabiner through the Swivel Eye (C)
on the SRL.
Step 4: Insert the Caribiner through the Web Straps: With the Carabiner Gate held open, insert the
Carabiner behind the Web Straps. Rotate the Carabiner behind the Web Straps until the Carabiner
surrounds the the Web Straps and the first Rebel SRL is positioned on the right side of the
Carabiner.
Step 5: Mount the second Rebel SRD on the Carabiner: Insert the Carabiner through the Swivel Eye
on the second SRL. Position the second SRL on the left side of the Carabiner Gate.
Step 6: Allow the Carabiner Gate to close and lock.
Check the mounting of both SRLs: When properly mounted, the Carabiner should pass through the Web
Straps (A) and the SRL Swivel Eyes should be secured on either side of the Carabiner Gate. Pull the Web
Straps (A) back through the Dorsal D-Ring and D-Ring Pad to eliminate slack in the webbing and secure the
Carabiner between the Web Straps and D-Ring Pad.
Personal SRL Link: Some Full Body Harnesses are equipped with a Personal SRL Link (PSRL Link) that integrates the
Dorsal D-Ring with attachment elements for Harness Mounted Self-Retracting Devices. Figure 7C illustrates attachment of
Single Rebel and Twin Rebel SRDs to the PSRL Link.
3.3 ANCHORAGE CONNECTION: Figure 8 illustrates typical SRD anchorage connections. Select an anchorage location with
minimal Free Fall and Swing Fall hazards (See Section Section 2). Select a rigid anchorage point capable of sustaining
the static loads defined in Section Section 2. Where anchoring overhead is not feasible, the SRD can be secured to select
anchorage points below the User's Dorsal D-Ring (see Figure 4). Never connect to an anchorage point below the shaded
area on the Fall Clearance Chart for your Capacity Range.
