3.3 DROPPED OBJECT PROTECTION:
Prior to installing the SRL to the primary anchorage, the SRL can be
connected to a secondary anchorage to protect against dropping the SRL during installation. Select a second
anchorage point that is capable of supporting the SRL. Attach the two carabiners to each end of the cable
tie-off adapter. Attach one end of the cable tie-off adapter to the handle on the SRL and the other end to the
second anchorage point.
4.0 OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult Capital Safety when using this
equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual. Some
subsystem and component combinations may interfere with the operation of this equipment. Use caution when
using this equipment around moving machinery, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, and sharp edges. Do not
loop the lifeline around small structural members.
WARNING:
Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your
fi
tness to safely absorb the shock from a fall
arrest. Age and
fi
tness seriously affect a worker’s ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not
use DBI-SALA self retracting lifelines.
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE:
Before each use of this fall protection equipment carefully inspect it to assure it is in
good working condition. Check for worn or damaged parts. Ensure all bolts are present and secure. Check
that the lifeline is retracting properly by pulling out the line and allowing it to slowly retract. If there is any
hesitation in retraction the unit should be returned to an authorized service center for service. Inspect the
lifeline for cuts, frays, burns, crushing and corrosion. Check locking action by pulling sharply on the line. See
Section 5 for inspection details. Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.
4.2 AFTER A FALL:
Any equipment which has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall or exhibits
damage consistent with the effect of fall arrest forces as described in Section 5, must be removed from
service immediately and sent to an authorized service center for repair.
