Fall Clearance values in Figure 4 are based on anchoring to a rigid, stationary anchor point and do not apply to
anchoring to a Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) system. Consult the HLL Instruction Manual and HLL Installer to determine
required Fall Clearances.
5.0 Inspection
5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Self-Retracting Device must be inspected at the intervals defined in Section 2 .
Inspection procedures are described in the “Inspection & Maintenance Log” (Table 3) .
;
Extreme working conditions (harsh environments, prolonged use, etc.) may require increasing the frequency of
inspections (see Table 2).
5.2 UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the SRD from
service immediately and discard (see Section 6).
;
Only 3M or parties authorized in writing may make repairs to this equipment.
5.3 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of 3M Self-Retracting Devices is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As
long as the product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
6.0 Maintenance, Service, and Storage
6.1 CLEANING: Cleaning procedures for the SRD are as follows:
• Periodically clean the exterior of the SRD using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRD so excess water can
drain out. Clean labels as required.
• Clean the Web Lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat.
The lifeline should be dry before allowing it to retract into the housing. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc., may
prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a potential free fall hazard.
6.2 SERVICE: SRDs are not repairable. If the SRD has been subjected to fall force or inspection reveals an unsafe or
defective condition, remove the SRD from service and discard (see “Disposal” ).
6.3 STORAGE/TRANSPORT: Store and transport SRDs in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas
where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRD after any period of extended storage.
6.4 DISPOSAL: Dispose of the SRD if it has been subjected to fall arrest forces or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective
condition. Before disposing of the SRD, cut the lifeline in half or otherwise disable the SRD to eliminate the possibility of
inadvertent reuse.
7.0 RFID Tag
7.1 LOCATION: 3M product covered in these user instructions is equipped with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tag.
RFID Tags may be used in coordination with an RFID Tag Scanner for recording product inspection results. See Figure 24
for where your RFID Tag is located.
7.2 DISPOSAL: If the SRD has been subjected to a fall force or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove
the SRD from service immediately and destroy. Additional maintenance and servicing procedures must be completed by
an authorized service center.
8.0 Labels
Figure 29 illustrates labels on the the Self-Retracting Devices and their locations. All labels must be present on the SRD. Labels
must be replaced if they are not fully legible.
