OSHA 1910.27 OSHA 1926.1053 ANSI A14.3-1992

System easily attaches to any ladder. TS Trolley, with stainless steel locking pawl, attaches to climbers full body harness and allows for hands free climbing.

Material Specifications: Rail: 304 or 316 SS Rail is cold formed from 11 gage 304 or 316 stainless steel to spec.

Splice Bar: 316 SS 3/8" x 1" flat bar Spacer Bar: 316 SS 3/8" x l" flat bar Clamps: 316 SS 1 /8" x 1" flat bar Bolt Assemblies 18-8 or 316 SS 5/16 x 1-1/4" carriage bolt with lock washer and nut

Rail is designed in such a manner that the same trolley can be used for both stainless steel and the extruded aluminum rail. This enables the combination of stainless rail and aluminum as part of a complete system with only one trolley (carrier).

Installation Instructions

The safety rail consists of a bottom rail, one or more intennediate rails, and a top rail. The design of the rail is specific to your system and the holes have already been punched for he necessary rung clamp attachment. The rail is installed using 5/16 x 1-1/4" carriage bolts. The heads have been ground to allow for proper trolley clearance.

1. Install bottom section ( shortest section of rail ) by placing rail in center of ladder to give ample foot room onrungs on either side of the rail. Rail will start approximately 3' up from the ground or on 3rd rung. There willbe six (6) inches ofrail below this rung. Rail is oriented to the user with the center of the rail mating with therungs or steps. The wings of the rail should not contact the rungs or steps.

2. The end holes on the rail are spaced 1-1/8" apart on center and are for connecting to other sections of rail.Holes that are spaced 2-3/4" apart are for the clamps.

3. Install carriage bolts into the square holes provided for the rung clamps. Place the two (2) hole spacer baronto the two bolts and against the back side of the rail. Place rail against ladder so that one of the bolts is aboveand one is below the rung to be clamped to. Place clamp onto bolts so the rung is encapsulated. Use a lockwasher and nut on each bolt. Tighten bolts to a snug fit. Some adjustment may be required when installingseveral sections ofrail together.

4. Secure next section of rail in place by using the four ( 4) hole splice bar. The two square holes on the end ofthe rail just installed will be attached to the first two holes on the spice bar. Use carriage bolts provided. Thesplice bar will have two more holes for connection to the next piece of rail. Clamp next section of rail intoplace using step# 3.

5. Install next section ofrail using the steps 3 and 4.

6. If a removable extension is to be used with the system, the top section of rail must have the mating channellocated at the top of the system. The top section will have a channel welded onto the back side of the rail toaccept the removable extension. Mount this section of rail in the same manner as above. There should besufficient clearance between the top section of rail and any hatch cover or lid.

7. After all sections are installed and alignment is correct, all bolt assemblies must be tightened.

8. The trolley is installed with the arrows pointing up and will freely travel up the rail. The trolley will lockonto the rail when pulled downward.

Instructions and Maintenance

1. Place trolley on rail so wings ofrail are encapsulated in the wheel area of the trolley. Make sure thearrows on the trolley are always pointing UP. The pawl mechanism should engage the center of the railwhere the protrusion stops are located along with the heads of the carriage bolts. The trolley will stay locked inplace on the rail.

2. Attach harness on body. (Refer to separate instructions for donning a full body harness.)

3. Attach locking snap of trolley to D-ring located on waist belt of harness.

4. Lean slightly away from rail to disengage locking pawl. In normal climbing conditions the position of thetrolley will be level with the climber's waist when climbing or descending. Begin to climb, keeping slightoutward tension on the trolley while ascending or descending.

5. Trolley pawl engages rail when outward tension ceases.

6. Do not leave trolley and safety harness on safety rail when not in use.

7. Always inspect trolley before use. Care should be taken to inspect for wear or deformities that wouldinterfere with intended purpose. Rail should be inspected for wear, defom1ation, and all attachment hardwareshould be checked for tightness.
