[NOTE: All instructions and warnings provided with the fall arrester and harness must be read and understood before using the equipment.]

System Capacity
The GlideLoc System can sustain multiple users so long as the load-bearing capacities of the base structure, ladder and ladder attachment are adequate. One (1) person per guide rail section is permitted. The distance between users must not be less than 7 ft. (2.1m) to ensure that, in the event of a fall, the person falling will not strike a user below. The maximum number of workers allowed by ANSI A14.3 is four (4) per system.

Fall Clearance
Ensure that adequate clearance exists in the fall path to avoid striking a lower level, some other object, or another user.

Fall Arrester Capacity
Fall arresters are designed for use by one person only. Maximum capacity is 310 lb. (140.6kg).
DO NOT EXCEED THIS WEIGHT.

Environmental Hazards
Use of this equipment in areas where environmental hazards exist may require additional precautions to limit the possibility of injury to the user or damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to, extreme

• Guide rail must be kept clean–free of dirt, residual mortar, and other substances.
• Use of this system is not suitable when the user is positioned on an unstable surface, fine-grain material, or particulate.or entities authorized, in writing, by the manufacturer.

System Requirements

Before installation of a GlideLoc Kit, the structure and ladder on which the system is to be affixed must be certified to be capable of withstanding the potential loads that may be applied in the event of a fall arrest and must meet the specified ladder requirements.

Ladder Requirements
For the kits, a ladder must be a fixed ladder with rungs having outer diameters between 3/4 inch (19.1mm) and 1-1/4 inches (31.8mm). For ladder rungs with larger diameters, rung clamps with longer hardware are available which will accommodate rungs up to 1-3/4 inches (44.5mm).
According to ANSI A14.3, the minimum width of the ladder must be 16 inches (406.4mm) from inside rail to inside rail.
For non-standard ladder rungs, please contact Miller Technical Services at 800-873-5242 for additional information and installation assistance.
The integrated shock absorber of the Body Control I, Comfort, Comfort2 and Universal II fall arresters limits fall arrest forces to 1350 lbf. (6kN). This is the maximum force on a ladder system for a single user.

To calculate the maximum working load rating on a ladder system with more than one user, the following formula can be used as a guide:
Ladder Working Load Rating = (Fall Arrest Force + (Maximum # of Users – 1 x Weight of Worker))
Example: Ladder rated for 4 users at 250 lbf. each:
Ladder Working Load Rating = (1350 lbf. + (3 x 250 lbf.)) = 2100 lbf. Ladder Working Load
To calculate the maximum working load rating on an individual ladder rung for more than one user, the following formula can be used as a guide:
Ladder Rung Working Load Rating =(Fall Arrest Force + (Maximum # of Users – 1 x Weight of Worker)) # of Ladder Clamps
Example: Ladder rated for 4 users at 250 lbf. each on a GS0040 system:
Ladder Rung Working Load Rating = (1350 lbf. + (3 x 250 lbf.))
7 = 300 lbf. per Ladder Rung

Important notes:

1. Working load rating DOES NOT INCLUDE A SAFETY FACTOR.
2. Specific ladder compliance standards may vary and must be used when required to determine rung force requirements and safety factors.
3. The fall arrester limits the maximum fall arrest force to under 1350 lbf. (6kN). This is the maximum force on a ladder system for a single user.

System Installation Overview: The GlideLoc System may be installed from the bottom of the ladder up or from the top down. Consideration should be given to the length of the system, the ladder application, the availability of scaffolding, the top rail requirements, etc.

Top Rail Requirements — The top rail section of the system must be a complete 10 ft.-1 in. (3.08m) section. The top rail section cannot extend above the top ladder rung by more than 36 in. (914mm). It is recommended that the bottom rail section be modified or cut to meet these requirements. Therefore, if it is not possible to measure or calculate whether the top rail section will meet these requirements due to the length of the ladder and system, it may be necessary to install the system from the top of the ladder down to ensure compliance.

Tools Required for Installation: 3/4″ and 11/16″ or 19mm and 17mm tools required for most hardware.

Installation of the Bottom Guide

Rail Section to Ladder using Rung Clamps
IMPORTANT: To prevent incorrect installation of the guide rail to the ladder, all rail sections are marked by the manufacturer with a red plastic ribbon attached at the upper end of the rail and an arrow stamping placed directly underneath the upper oblong hole (see Fig. 1a). During installation, the arrow stamping must always point upwards. In addition, the front of the guide rail (where the fall arrester will slide) must face
outwards on the front of the ladder.

NOTE: Rung clamps must be spaced a maximum of 7 ft. (2.1m) apart (from center to center – see Fig. 1b) throughout the system. Never install a system with fewer than four (4) rung clamps.

1. Place the back of the guide rail section flat against the rungs of the ladder at the desired height and hold in place.
2. Install the rung clamp by placing the clamp jaws over a ladder rung and aligning the holes on the rung clamp with the oblong holes in the guide rail. Insert first bolt through the aligned holes above the ladder rung and attach a washer and nut; then attach a second nut, using it to jam the first nut in place (see Fig. 1c – Note: For stainless steel and aluminum rung clamps, a washer and one self-locking nut are used). Insert second bolt through the aligned holes below the ladder rung and again attach a washer and two nuts. Torque fasteners to 18.5 ft.-lbs. (25Nm).

Follow above procedure to install additional rung clamps ensuring that clamps are spaced according to specifications.

Installation of End Stop at Bottom of Rail System

End STOP 26027 note: the 26027 end stop is designed for installation at the bottom and at the top of the rail system. Follow all installation specifications and instructions for proper mounting.

1. Fix the end stop to the back of the bottom guiderail section, aligning, ordering and assembling the components of the end stop as shown (see Fig. 2a) to the oblong hole in the guide rail (see Installation Specifications for location of end stop in relation to bottom and top of rail system).
2. Using a 19mm bolt torque wrench, tighten the nut to 22 ft.-lbs. (30Nm) (see Fig. 2b).
   Install the red plunger to the end of the shaft using a rubber mallet (see Fig. 2c).

WARNING: In order to prevent incorrect insertion of the fall arrester to the guide rail, it must only be inserted after the bottom end stop has been installed.
IMPORTANT: If the ladder is not mounted at ground level, a second bottom end stop must be installed (see Fig. 2e). The second bottom end stop should be located approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) from the bottom of the rail. This will ensure maximum safety for a worker when descending.

   WARNING: In order to prevent incorrect insertion of the fall arrester to the guide rail, it must only be inserted after the Bottom End Stop has been installed.
   IMPORTANT: If the ladder is not mounted at ground level, a second bottom end stop must be installed (see Fig. 2e). The second bottom end stop should be located approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) from the bottom of the rail. This will ensure maximum safety for a worker when descending.

Installation of Additional Guide Rail Sections

1. Remove upper bolt from rail connector if attached.

2. To install additional guide rail, rest the next rail section against the ladder and insert it vertically into the previously fixed guide rail section (see Fig. 3a).
   NOTE: Under positive ambient temperature, the minimum gap width between guide rail sections is 1/16 in. (2mm). Under negative ambient temperature, the minimum gap width is 2/16 in. (3mm). The maximum gap width of 3/16 in. (5mm) must not be exceeded, independent of ambient temperature.

3. Insert upper bolt through added rail section and rail connector and attach washer, lock washer and nut.(NOTE: The nut should only be tightened when the added rail section is in alignment to the lower section and at least one rung clamp of the upper section has been installed.)

4. Secure additional guide rail section using rung clamp(s). Follow step 2 in section 5.1.

5. Torque rail connector fasteners to 18.5 ft.-lbs. (25Nm).
   WARNING: Bolts pre-assembled at the manufacturer must also be tightened to required torque specifications.

6. The red plastic ribbon on lower guide rail section may now be cut.

If the ladder rungs impede the connection of two guide rail sections, the rail sections can be bolted together using the alternative holes on the rail connector (see Fig. 3c). In this case, the guide rail must be fixed on the long side of the rail connector at a maximum of 22 in. (560mm) away from the joint (where the rung clamp is installed on the ladder rung – see Fig. 3d).
Follow these steps to install additional guide rail while proceeding up the ladder. Follow section 5.4 when installation of the final guide rail section is required.

Installation of Top Guide Rail Section

The top guide rail section may be installed to end with the top of the ladder or it may extend a maximum of 36 in. (914mm) above the top ladder rung to provide for safe entry onto a platform. In either case, the top rail section of the system must be a complete 10 ft.-1 in. (3.08m) section and must be secured as specified below.
If the top guide rail is to end with the top of the ladder [a maximum of 12 in. (305mm) above the top ladder rung], one rung clamp is required on the top ladder rung (see Fig. 4a). Follow procedures for installing rung clamp.
If the top guide rail section is to extend above the ladder [a maximum of 36 in. (914mm) above the top ladder rung] , three rung clamps must be installed–one on each of the top three ladder rungs (see Fig. 4b). Follow procedures for installing rung clamps. ANSI note: With the top guide rail section extending above the top of the ladder, a guide rail reinforcement bar must be used to meet ansI a14.3-08 standards.
