Connecting Y-Lanyard
Y-Lanyard are designed for single person use only. The energy absorber end of the lanyard must be connected to the dorsal D-
ring of the full body harness.
Attach one leg of the Y-Lanyard to the anchorage connector and the unused lanyard leg to an approved lanyard storage keeper
on the harness.
Compatibility of components and subsystems
This equipment is designed for use with approved components and
subsystems. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may be incompatible and
may jeopardize the safety and reliability of the complete system.
Compatibility of connectors
Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such
a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become
oriented. Contact VITO if you have any questions about compatibility.
Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible.
Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage.
It is the responsibility of the user and the Purchaser of this equipment to assure they are familiar with these instructions and
are trained in the proper use, installation , operation, maintenance and limitations of this product. Training should be conducted
periodically and without exposing the trainee to a fall hazard.
Since no fall protection equipment regardless of how effective can save an employee who is not trained in its use. To meet this
crucial requirement, please ask your supplier to offer the training and make sure before you use the PPE, you are the competent
person.
General product inspection required for all system components
Always carry out a visual inspection of the safety lanyard before use. Inspect system and its components for any of the Following:
Bent, cracked, distorted, worn, malfunctioning or damaged parts; rough or sharp edges; loose fasteners or missing
parts/components; corrosion; deterioration; signs that indicate the product has been subjected to a fall arrest; or any other
indications of damage/problems that may affect the integrity and operation of the component/system. If in doubt, contact the
manufacturer.
Webbing/Rope: When inspecting lanyard, begin at upper to bottom side. Slowly rotate the harness or lanyard so that the entire
circumference is checked. Inspect webbing for cuts, frays, burns, broken fibers and excessive wear. Also inspect for signs of
environmental or chemical damage.
Adjustment Element: It is necessary to check the fastening/adjustment elements regularly during use, which is related to the
performance of the safety lanyard.
Carabiner & Snaphook: Inspect closely for carabiner and snaphook distortions, cracks, breaks, corrosion, pitted surfaces,
and rough or sharp edges. The gate should seat into the nose without binding and should not be distorted or obstructed.
The gate spring should exert sufficient force to firmly close the gate. When the gate is closed, the locking mechanism
must prevent the gate from opening. The thimble must be firmly seated in the eye of the splice, and the splice should
have no loose or cut strands. The edges of the thimble must be free of sharp edges, distortion, or cracks.
