front and rear fall arrest connector properly adjusted to
fit the user.

equipment only. It must not be used for different applications,
e.g. as load carrier for material or as load arrester.

The GlideLoc GuideRail/Ladder

2. Adjustment of your harness

To ensure smooth running of the GlideLoc Traveller in the
GuideRail, you harness needs to be adjusted so that the chest
connector (to which the Traveller is connected) is tight to your
body.

3. Connecting the GlideLoc Traveller to your Harness

Unlike most karabiners the Travellers connector has triple actions.
To Open Pull the ferrule forward, twist and push down. It has an
automatic closing and locking mechanism for added safety.

4. Connecting the GlideLoc Traveller to the GuideRail/Ladder

bottom end of GuideRail, open the Bottom Stop and slide the
Traveller through. The system does not allow the user to connect
