When using this equipment for personnel, federal law (OSHA) requires a secondary or back-up Fall Protection
system be used. The back-up or secondary fall protection system is not required in applications where the Rescue-
Positioning Device is only used to retrieve personnel (i.e. emergency rescue operations).
4.5 OPERATION OF THE RESCUE-POSITIONING DEVICE:
A
. Before securing the Rescue-Positioning Device system, operate the unit so the silver indicator flag (A) is showing and
the unit is in a locked position. Pull down the connector (B) to ensure the device is locked. See Figure 8.
B. Connect yourself or other worker to the personnel support device. If the rescue sling is used, slip it over the shoulders.
Position the rescue sling below the arms and move the adjuster buckle to tighten. See Figure 9. If a work-seat, accident
cradle (3610000), or other support device is used, follow the instructions for that equipment.
C. To raise, pull on the free end of the rope with a smooth hand-over-hand action or use the optional rope gripping
handle. To lock it in position, raise until the silver indicator flag is showing. Gradually release the rope. See Figure 10.
D. To lower, grasp the free rope and raise it slightly until the orange indicator flag appears. This will occur approximately
every two inches (5 cm) of personnel travel. When the orange indicator appears, lowering may begin. Lower by using a
hand-over-hand action or the optional gripping handle. To position, raise slightly until the indicator flag is showing silver.
The unit will now be locked in position. Always maintain safe speeds when raising or lowering. See Figure 10.
An optional rope gripping handle (9503008 right hand, 9503037 left hand) may be used to aid in raising or lowering
operations. To operate, pull back on the spring loaded jaw and insert the rope. Raise or lower as required. To reposition,
release the jaw and move it to the desired location. Release the jaw to lock it in place. See Figure 10. An optional method
to aid in lowering yourself can be used; the free rope end can be passed through a D-ring and/or connecting hook and
then controlled easily by hand. Raising or lowering may be done by the user or an assistant.
;
If rope tension eases during lowering, the person being lowered may have reached a work level or obstruction.
Do not continue operation without communicating with the person being lowered. Always maintain tension on the
personnel line. Slack line could cause a free fall situation.
;
Do not use the Rescue-Positioning Device for lifting or lowering more than one person per trip .
;
Operate the device by manual power only. Do not use power winches or other similar devices to operate this
system.
4.6 AFTER A RESCUE: The Rescue-Positioning Device must be removed from service following use in a rescue event. The
Rescue-Positioning Device should then be destroyed or sent to an authorized service center for inspection and repair.
4.7 USE WITH A HORIZONTAL SYSTEM: In applications where the Rescue-Positioning Device is used in conjunction with
a horizontal system, compatibility between the Rescue-Positioning Device and horizontal system components must be
achieved. Horizontal systems must be designed and installed under the supervision of a qualified person.
5.0 INSPECTION
;
Inspection criteria must be set by the user or manufacturer and cannot be less than what is specified in these
intstructions.
5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Rescue-Positioning Device shall be inspected by the user before each use and,
additionally, by a Competent Person other than the user monthly and annually. Extreme working conditions (harsh
environment, prolonged use, etc.) may require increasing the frequency of inspections. Annual servicing shall include, but
not be limited to, an intensive inspection and cleaning of all internal and external components. Failure to provide proper
service may considerably shorten product life and could endanger performance. A record of annual service dates can
be found on the face label of the Rescue-Positioning Device. Inspection procedures are described in the “Inspection and
Maintenance Log” (Table 2) . Results of each User and Competent Person inspection should be recorded on copies of the
“Inspection and Maintenance Log” .
5.2 DEFECTS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the Rescue-Positioning Device from service
immediately and tag it “DO NOT USE”. Do not attempt to repair the device. Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M
may make repairs to this equipment.
5.3 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the Rescue-Positioning Device is determined by work conditions and maintenance.
As long as the product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, STORAGE
6.1 CLEANING: Periodically clean the exterior of the device with water and mild detergent. Position the device so excess
water will drain out. Clean labels as required.
•
Rope: Clean rope with water and mild detergent. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat.
Immediately wash the entire rope assembly if it has been exposed to acidic vapors.
;
If the rope comes in contact with liquid or solid acids, remove it from service and wash it with a water and mild
detergent solution. Do not return the system to service without it first being inspected by a qualified inspector.
Acids in contact with rope for extended periods of time can weaken the rope without visible evidence of damage.
Only a qualified inspector can determine rope status.
