Klein Tools Occupational Protective Connecting Devices - Manual (Page 5)

V-Slings
V-Slings are used in suspension and retrieval systems.
They include two permanently-attached, locking snap
hooks. These hooks connect to the shoulder D-rings of
retrieval harnesses or to the seat-strap D-rings of
suspension harnesses. Klein V-slings are made of
high-quality, nylon-filament rope.
V-slings are designed for retrieval and suspension
purposes only, and are NOT to be used for fall arrest.
Klein OPE connecting devices are constructed
according to OSHA system criteria for occupational
protective equipment.
NOTE: Other types of Klein connecting devices, not
shown here, include rope grabs, boom straps,
anchorage connectors, and retractable lifelines.
Information on their proper use and care is contained
in separate instruction booklets provided with each
product.
NOTE: Special-length lanyards are available.
Contact your authorized Klein distributor.
When working with a lanyard,
keep the amount of slack between
the anchorage and the fall-arrest harness at an
absolute minimum to reduce impact forces in
the event of a fall.

Deceleration Units with Dual Lanyards of Nylon Rope or Nylon Webbing
Deceleration units with dual lanyards are
designed solely for use in fall-arrest systems,
and they can be used when 100% tie-off is
required. They allow the user to attach to a new fall-
arrest anchorage with one lanyard, while still being
connected to the original fall-arrest anchorage with
the remaining lanyard.
The deceleration unit is made of overlapped nylon
webbing, heavily cross-stitched together with nylon
thread and sewn into a protective breakaway jacket.
Two lanyards are permanently attached to the
deceleration unit. Also, locking snap hooks are
attached to the free end of the deceleration unit and
to the free ends of both lanyards.
Available in either nylon rope or nylon webbing.
On Klein deceleration units, the
uncovering of a red-lettered
warning label inside the leather jacket indicates
that the unit was subjected to a severe impact
force; therefore, the unit must not be used and
must be disposed of immediately.
