Step 3.
Don a Full Body Harness:
Don a Full Body Harness per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 4.
Connect the SRL Lifeline to the Full Body Harness:
Connect the Self Locking Snap Hook or
Self Locking/Self Closing Carabiner on the end of the SRL Lifeline to the Front or Back D-Ring on
the Full Body Harness. To ensure a safe connection, always follow the instructions provided in
the SRL and Full Body Harness manufacturers’ instructions and observe the requirements in this
manual regarding Compatibility of Connectors (Section 2.2) and Connections (Section 2.3).
Step 5.
When attached to the SRL:
The worker is free to move about within recommended working
areas at normal speeds. The Trolley should roll freely in the Rail Assembly. The Lifeline should
extend smoothly and retract without hesitation. If slack line condition is created in normal use,
the unit should be inspected and serviced by an authorized service center. Should a fall occur, the
SRL will lock and arrest the fall. Upon rescue, remove the SRL from use. Inspect as described in
manufacturer’s instructions. When working with the SRL, allow the lifeline to recoil back into the
device under control. Allowing the lifeline to be fully extended for long periods of time may cause
premature weakening of the retraction spring.
NOTE:
A Tagline should be attached to the SRL’s Lifeline Hook so the Lifeline can be pulled down to a proper
position for connection to the Full Body Harness.
IMPORTANT:
The maximum number of people that may be attached to the Counterweight Horizontal Frame
System is stated by the system labeling; each using an individual Trolley and SRL. No more than one (1) person
should be attached to a single Trolley at any time.
NOTE:
The SRL line must not drag or bend over a leading edge while accessing the work area. To eliminate that
problem reposition the unit. Follow the SRL manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
