DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT:
Retractable:
All TheHarnessDepot Retractables are hereby referred to as Self Retracting Lifelines (SRL). The device is used to
safely expand the working area where a harness with a 6 ft. lanyard is not adequate. Also, a SRL is designed to reduce the shock
loading to the body of a worker by limiting the distance of a fall. The device allows for complete freedom of movement. This product
is to be used as part of a complete fall arrest system. PFAS normally include the use of a full body harness, anchorage connector
such as a carabiner and the SRL.

PART LIST
TheHarnessDepot Self Retracting Lifeline:
Includes a swivel eye anchorage, self-locking swivel snap hook with impact indicator,
and 3/16" galvanized wire cable/1" Polyseter Webbing. SRL also comes with a Karabiners and tag line to be used with the device
to avoid improper use.

PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION:
The SRL is used in a stationary or mobile manner. As a stationary device, the SRL would be
mounted to an approved xed anchorage connector directly overhead. The SRL would extend as the user moves away from the anchor
point and it retracts as the user moves back towards the anchorage point. As the SRL is used in a mobile manner, the device should be
traveling on a steel cable, rope or xed rail traveling from one anchorage connector to the other.

LIMITATIONS:
Consider the following application limitations before using this equipment.
Ÿ
Capacity:
The SRL is to be used by an individual with a combined weight (person, clothing, tool, etc.) of 90 lbs.(41 kg) minimum
and no more than 310 lbs.(140 kg) maximum. No more than one person may be connected at one time.
Ÿ
Corrosion:
Leaving the SRL in an environment for long periods of time that could cause corrosion of metal parts is not warranted
in any way and must not be done. Use caution when working around corrosive compounds such as ammonia, sewage,
fertilizers, seawater or other corrosive environments. when using in such environment the product may require more frequent
inspections or servicing. These increased inspections and servicing are required to ensure corrosive damage is not impacting
the performance of the SRL.
Ÿ
Chemical Hazards and Heat:
Extreme caution must be taken when working in or around environments containing acid or
caustic chemicals, particularly at elevated temperatures. Damage will result to in this environment. Chemical damage is difcult
to detect and it is recommended that the lifeline be replaced periodically to ensure safety of the workers.Additionally, this SRL is
not to be used in high temperature environments. The SRL must be protected when using near welding, metal cutting, or similar
activities. Hot sparks and slag can damage this equipment. Users must inspect SRL prior to each use.
Ÿ
Electrical Hazards:
For web and wire rope models, there is a possibility of an electric current owing through the lifeline.
Moisture absorbed by the lifeline may provide a path for electrical current to ow, resulting in electrical shock. Use caution where
the lifeline may contact high voltage power line.
Ÿ
Locking Speed:
Extreme caution should be taken when using this device whereas an obstructed fall could occur as well as when
someone must perform work in a conned or cramped space. Working in these types of environments could limit the speed at
which the locking mechanisms engage. Extreme caution should be taken when working on low pitched roofs, where a worker
may slide instead of fall. A clear path is required to ensure positive locking of the SRL.
