Check the operation of the rope
grab by holding the attachment
ring and moving the rope grab up
and down the lifeline. Pull sharply
downward on the ring to test the
cam's activation, arresting the rope
grab's movement on the lifeline.
2.11
Check the operation of the Panic
Stop feature by gripping the rope
grab completely to simulate a panic
grab. Insert thumb through the
attachment eye and grasp the rope
grab body by encircling it with
remaining fingers.
2.12
Firmly squeeze the attachment ring
inwards to engage the Panic Stop
mechanism and pull sharply
downward. The rope grab must
activate to stop the movement on
the lifeline. (Figure 3)

Should the rope grab fail either of
the above tests, remove it from
service immediately.
2.14
Attach the lanyard snap hook
securely to the ring of the rope
grab. Attach the other end of the
lanyard to the dorsal D-Ring on the
full body harness. Use the shortest
lanyard possible to reduce potential
free fall. If a shock-absorbing lan-
yard is permanently attached to the
rope grab attachment ring, connect
the snap hook directly the dorsal D-Ring on the harness. The snap hook must
be of a double locking type and the gate completely closed and locked.
Never select a lanyard which would lead to a freefall exceeding 6 feet (2 meters).

USER INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
3.1
The cam lever in the rope grab is activated by the downward motion of a fall and
will arrest the rope grab on the lifeline within 39" (1.0 m). The unit allows freedom
of movement, up or down a vertical lifeline, with the simple manipulation of the
rope grab attachment ring. It can be used with a North Shock Absorber, or North
Shock Absorbing Lanyards, to reduce maximum arrest force levels to below
1800 lbs. (8 kN). It can be installed onto the lifeline at any point.
