5.0 Installation and Use

5.1

Single SRL Installation to Full Body Harness

: Installation for Single-leg configuration of the DuraTech Mini to the dorsal D-ring of a full

body harness follows the steps listed below:

Step 1:

Connect an approved carabiner through the swivel eye above the housing

Step 2:

Connect the approved carabiner with SRL to the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness.

Step 3:

Connect the leg-end connector of the SRL to the anchorage or anchorage connector. See Figure 3.

WARNING

Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult FallTech when using this equipment in combination with components or subsys-

tems other than those described in this manual. All components or subsystems used with the SRD discussed in this manual must be in

compliance with ANSI Z359 and/or OSHA.

Do not use rebar hooks, large carabiners or large snap hooks to connect to the FBH dorsal D-rings or to any small diameter non-compatible

anchor point as this may cause a roll-out condition and/or unintentional disengagement.

Avoid sharp and /or abrasive surfaces and edges

4.7

Personal Fall Arrest System Anchorage Strength:

An anchorage selected for PFAS application must have the strength to sustain a static

load applied in the direction permitted by the PFAS of at least:

a. Two times the maximum arrest force permitted when certification exists, or

b. 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) in the absence of certification.

Select an anchorage location carefully. Consider structural strength, obstructions in the fall path, and swing fall hazards. In certain

situations, the qualified person can determine that a given structure is able to withstand the applied MAF of the PFAS with a safety factor

of at least two, as required by OSHA.

Single SRL Installation to Anchorage

: SRLs with large opening rebar hooks for leg-end connectors are not permitted for this type of

installation due to incompatibility. See Section 4.2 Installation for Single-leg configuration of the DuraTech Mini to an anchorage

or anchorage connector follows the steps listed below. :

Step 1:

Connect an approved carabiner through the swivel eye above the housing

Step 2:

Connect the approved carabiner with SRL to the anchorage or anchorage connector.

Step 3:

Connect the leg-end connector of the SRL to the dorsal D-ring on the full body harness. See Figure 4.
