5.5 Using the DuraTech 3-Way Retrieval SRL-R

WARNING

The FallTech® DuraTech 3-Way Retrieval SRL-R retrieval function discussed in this manual is only to be used in the event of an 

emergency and is not intended for material handling or routine personnel hoisting applications.

 

5.5.1 Rescue/Retrieval Mode

 

1. 

Unfold the black collapsible handle by pulling the handle outward to unlock the position lock; see Figure 10A. Rotate the handle 180 

degrees until it locks into position; see Figure 11A.

2. 

Pull the Crank Engagement Pin; see Figure 11B and simultaneously push the Hand Crank toward the SRL-R housing; see Figure 11C.  It 

may be necessary to slightly rotate the handle to mesh the gears into position.

3. 

Release the Crank Engagement Pin once the gears are fully meshed to lock the handle in Rescue/Retrieval Mode. The Crank  

Engagement Pin should be fully retracted into the SRL-R body.

4. 

To raise, turn the handle in the counter clockwise direction if the handle is facing you with the anchor eye on top, see Figure 12. 

When fully loaded, a force of up to 30 lbs. will be required to operated the handle. To lower turn the handle clockwise; see Figure 

13.  The handle will rotate a half a turn before the load begins to lower or raise. Maintain a minimum of 15 lbs of tension in both 

directions on the cable at all times to prevent bird nesting of the cable onto the drum.
