Adjustment process - increasing the length of the work positioning lanyard (release-lock):
Apply pressure to the handle of the length adjuster to release the rope and allow it to be adjusted to
a suitable length. Releasing the pressure on the handle causes the length adjuster to lock onto the
rope again provided the rope is taut.
Adjustment process - reducing the length of the work positioning lanyard:
Take the slack end of the rope and pull through the length adjuster to reduce the length of the
lanyard.
Relieving the weight of the user from the lanyard can facilitate this operation. For this, the user can
grip the taut strand.
The new Miller HandZup® lanyard can be used as support on an inclined plane where the length
adjuster is connected at the ventral point (EN813) or the lateral point (EN358) and the karabiner of
the work positioning lanyard is attached to an anchorage located above the user. This product is un-
suitable for work in suspension. See figure 8.
5-2 INSTALLATION PRINCIPLE
An EN 358-compliant belt or belt harness fitted with a back support must be used for work positio-
ning.
Please install your work positioning lanyard by following these steps.

Fasten the belt around the waist and adjust. See figure 9.

Connect the length adjuster's karabiner to one of the two side D-rings on the belt. The adjuster
can be connected to either the left or right side D-ring. See illustration of the D-ring connection
and illustration on proper handling of the different connecting devices (figure 10).

Pass the lanyard behind the structure (post, trunk, etc.) and connect the karabiner at the end of
the rope to the other side D-ring. See illustration of the D-ring connection and illustration on
proper handling of the different connecting devices (figure 10).

Adjust the work positioning lanyard so you can work comfortably with both hands free (see
paragraph 5-1).

Before commencing work at height, test the strength of the equipment.

Check that the geometry of the structure permits the use of a work positioning system (small
diameters and sharp edges are prohibited). See figures 11.

In some cases, it is recommended that a lanyard fitted with a protective sleeve is used to mini-
mise premature wear of the rope. See figures 6. If in any doubt, contact the Miller® by Honeywell
technical service department.
5-3 REPLACING THE Miller HandZup® ROPE LANYARD
The Miller HandZup® rope lanyard can be replaced or changed as required.
In this case, the manufacturer permits users trained in the wearing of this PPE to replace the rope of
the work positioning lanyard when it is deemed necessary.
The slide locking screw is removable and repositionable with a special connector that is available to
order. The absence of the slide locking screw does not interfere with the proper functioning or safety
of the Miller HandZup® work positioning lanyard which meets the requirements of the EN 358 stan-
dard with or without the screw
