- Connecting to Anchorage: Attach the swivel top of the retractable lifeline to the selected anchorage connector. Ensure the connection is secure and properly closed.
- Connecting to Harness: Connect the aluminum snap hook at the end of the lifeline to the dorsal D-ring of a compatible full-body harness. Verify that the snap hook gate is fully closed and locked.
