Before each use check that: 1) unit is free of burns, cuts, abrasions, kinks, knots, broken strands and
excessive wear. 2) snaphooks, carabiners, D-rings and buckles are not distorted or cracked.
3) snaphook / carbineer gate / lock mechanism is not bent, is free of burrs, clean and functioning properly.
4) positioning device (i.e. SuperSqueeze, BuckSqueeze, positioning strap, adjustable positioning lanyard etc.)
is not worn to the point of showing the red warning center. Remove from service, destroy and discard unit if
it does not pass this inspection and replace immediately.
Make sure each snaphook / carabiner is positioned so that its keeper is never load bearing.
When in the work position, ensure there is no pressure on the snaphook / carabiner locking mechanism
sufficient to depress it as this will, due to its length, render it incompatible with currently designed D-rings and
make it very susceptible to rollout.
Before use ensure locking mechanism of locking snaphook / carabiner is functioning properly. Never
disable locking mechanism of the locking snaphook / carabiner, punch holes in or alter a connecting device
in any way.
Never work without independent fall-arrest protection if there is danger of a free fall.
Employer - instruct employee as to proper use and warnings before use of equipment.
Product covered under these instructions / warnings should not be resold / redistributed or re-used after use
by original user.
Proper use is critical to the performance of the 4 D-ring system.
Always attach each locking snaphook / carabiner of the positioning device, (i.e. positioning strap, SuperSqueeze,
BuckSqueeze, retractable lanyard, adjustable positioning lanyard etc.) to the proper D-ring
of the body belt.
Never mismatch D-rings by connecting the locking snaphook / carabiner of a positioning device, (i.e
positioning strap, SuperSqueeze, BuckSqueeze, retractable lanyard, adjustable positioning lanyard etc.) to an
upper D-ring on one side and to a lower D-ring on the opposite side
Both upper and lower D-rings are intended for work positioning only, not fall arrest.
NOTE:
Ensure proper fit of product before use. This product cannot be returned unless it is in new / unused
condition.
Additional Instructions / Warnings for Quick Connect Buckle (6264 Series only)
For your information and
attention:
Quick Connect Buckles on Gut Straps that include this style of buckle may unintentionally disengage under the
condition outlined below: If the pawls of the buckle do not freely rotate, proper engagement of the tab end to
the receptor end of the buckle will be hindered / restricted. If as a result of the users movements or through
contact with an obstruction during the course of his/her work, one of the two pawls of the receptor end of the
buckle is depressed while tension is induced on the strapping attached to the buckle, the potential exists that
disengagement of the tab end of that side from the pawl may occur. If that position is maintained and again
through the users movements or contact with an obstruction the opposite side pawl is depressed, the tab end
of the buckle may totally disengage from the receptor end.
To eliminate the potential for this condition, you the user should:
1. Inspect your equipment before each use as you would for all safety equipment. Equipment should be
replaced if you have any question / doubt about it being safe for use.
2. Always position the buckles of your equipment so that contact with obstructions is avoided.
