Description

Easy Steps for using the BuckHook™ system:

  1. Attach a short lifeline and mobile fall arrestor to the sternal attachment on the harness. For connecting lanyards longer than 12″ a shock pack should be attached to the dorsal attachment.
  2. Using the extension pole with BuckHook™ and 7/16″ or ½” non-stretch rope attached, lift and secure hook onto lattice so that the end of the pole is below foot level.
  3. Once in place, climb up near BuckHook™.
  4. Secure secondary positioning lanyard around the tower leg. Once secure, move BuckHook™ to the next highest point making sure the end of the pole is below the user’s feet.
  5. Once at the worksite user should secure an anchor sling to a suitable anchorage point. The primary vertical lifeline can then be attached to the anchor sling.
  6. Once the lifeline is installed, other climbers can connect their harness to a mobile fall arrester and ascend and descend the lifeline.
