4.0 Installation/use
WARNING
All Honeywell Miller Self-Retracting
Lifelines must be inspected and tested
for locking and retraction before each
use (see 7.0 Inspection & Maintenance).
4.1 Typical Overhead Instal-
lation*
(Refer to Fig. 3 & 4)
Miller self-retracting lifelines are typically
mounted to an overhead anchorage by the
anchorage attachment using a locking cara-
biner or other Honeywell-approved mounting
device.
The anchorage must be capable of supporting
a 5,000 pound (22.2kn) tensile load, or it must
be designed, installed, and used under the
supervision of a qualified person as part of a
complete fall arrest system which maintains a
safety factor of two. Review all warnings and
instructions when selecting a mounting loca-
tion. The device should be installed and used
in such a manner as to minimize the potential
for a swing fall.
*See 2.2 Warnings and Limitations for clari-
fication of overhead applications. [For non-
overhead applications, please contact Hon-
eywell Technical Service before proceeding.]
4.2 Tie-Back Installation
(Refer to Fig. 5)
[Applies to Turbo T-BAK Tie-Back Personal
Fall Limiters (MFLT) ONLY]
Miller Turbo T-bAk Tie-back Personal Fall
Limiters are self-retracting lifelines that are
uniquely engineered to allow the user to
tie-off safely to an anchorage. Miller Turbo
T-bAk Personal Fall Limiters are 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.
Refer to the I296 Turbo T-bAk Instruction
Supplement
for

Honeywell Industrial Safety recommends
mounting all Honeywell Miller self-retracting
lifelines to a suitable overhead anchorage
whenever possible. However, fall protection
in lift applications without an overhead
anchorage requires special provisions. The
support structure of the lift must meet the
following criteria:
• Both the floor-level anchorage and
the guardrails must be capable of
supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2kn)
per employee attached or be part of a
complete personal fall arrest system
which maintains a safety factor of at
least two, under the supervision of a
qualified person.
• The guardrails are at a height that
eliminates the possibility of a free
fall in the system (see standards for
construction: oSHA 1926.502(b)(1) and
general industry: oSHA 1910.23(e)(1)).
• The diameter of the guardrail must be a
minimum of 1 inch (25.4mm).
• All edges that may come into contact
with the lifeline during use must be
smooth or rounded or chamfered (free
of burrs and sharp edges) to prohibit
damage to the lifeline and enable the
unit to arrest a fall effectively.
• The support structure must surround
the user in the direction of all possible
falls.
• The lift itself must be designed properly
to prevent top- pling in the event of a fall
(consult the lift manufacturer).
Honeywell recommends the above listed self-
retracting lifelines can be attached at or below
the back D-ring of the user's harness in lift
applications under the direction of a qualified
person. Since these units are not mounted
overhead in this application, the maximum
fall arrest forces may exceed the maximum
arresting force listed on the label; however,
the forces will not exceed 1800 lbf (8kn).
