5.4.4 Transferring under Obstructions: To cross under an obstruction, the use of a secondary device or system must be used to maintain 100%
fall protection tie-off. A secondary work positioning rope device is the recommended and most efficient way to meet this requirement.
1. Climb down and position the WPFRD a few inches above the obstruction. Make sure to leave space to install the secondary rope below
the WPFRD.
2. Pass the secondary rope above the obstruction and below the WPFRD as shown in Figure 22 below.
Figure 22: Secondary Rope Installation
3. Disconnect the WPFRD and pass it down through the secondary rope. Reconnect the WPFRD back around the pole below the
obstruction as shown in Figure 23 above.
4. Remove the secondary rope and continue your descent.
5.5 Left-Handed Reconfiguration
1. Lay the device out on a flat surface, oriented as shown below in Figure 24.
Figure 24: WPFRD Initial Position
2. Flip the device 180 degrees as shown in Figure 25. Separate the inner rope component from the outer brown web strap.
3. Using a 1/8" Allen wrench, remove the pin and roller from the snap hook. Then, pull the snaphook off the end of the rope as shown
below in Figure 26.

4. Flip the snaphook 180 degrees and replace the hook on the rope as shown in Figure 27 above.
