Prior to installation, plan your system:
1. Ensure PFAS equipment (full-body harness, VLL/SRL, extension lanyard, and fall arrester) is
selected and deemed compatible with the First-Man-Up System Aluminum Hook by a Competent
Person. ALWAYS follow all manufacturer’s instructions for all PFAS equipment.
2. Eliminate or minimize all risk of swing fall hazards.
3. Determine desired location for Aluminum Hook; ensure location is free of debris, rot, decay,
cracking, and hazardous materials. NEVER install on structure incapable of withstanding
application minimum loads.
Installation:
1. From ground level and away from all fall hazards, attach VLL/SRL snap hook or carabiner to
Aluminum Hook Eyelet. If VLL/SRL has integral shock absorber, shock absorber end must be
attached to Aluminum Hook Eyelet.
2. Attach Hook Opener to top of Telescopic Pole.
3. Attach Hook Opener to Aluminum Hook.
4. Extend Telescopic Pole to height of anchor
to which Aluminum Hook is to be attached, and lock all levers
into place so Telescopic pole will not accidentally retract.
5. Apply mild tension to VLL/SRL to keep Aluminum Hook upright
while it is lifted up to anchor.
6. Raise Telescopic Pole to height of anchor.
7. While maintaining tension on VLL/SRL, lift up Telescopic Pole to
unlock Aluminum Hook Gate.
8. Push Aluminum Hook Gate against anchor so that Gate opens and
Aluminum Hook attaches to anchor. Ensure Aluminum Hook Gate is
fully closed and locked to anchor.
9. Detach Hook Opener from Aluminum Hook, lower Telescopic Pole,
and collapse Telescopic Pole to its fully retracted state.
10. Attach VLL/SRL to applicable harness D-ring. VLL requires use of
compatible rope grab and extension lanyard.
