1. DESCRIPTION
The FallTech® DuraTech® Max 9' Web Single/Twin SRD is a self-retracting lifeline for those working at height and subject to fall hazards.
The user of the equipment discussed in this manual must read and understand the entire manual before beginning work.
For purposes of this manual, the FallTech® DuraTech® Max 9' Web Single/Twin SRD may be referred to as the Max 9' SRD, the SRD, the equipment,
the device, the product, or the unit.
The Max 9' SRD is specifically designed for those users with a combined (clothing, tools, etc.) maximum total weight of up to 425 lbs. Heavyweight
users are advised that they may be at risk of serious injury or death due to increased arrest forces that may be generated in a fall event, and may
also be at risk for post-fall suspension trauma while waiting for rescue. Heavyweight users are cautioned to ensure their entire PFAS has a capacity
rating equal to their weight.
This manual contains two Appendices, Appendix A and Appendix B. Appendix A contains figures and tables specific to the SRD discussed in this
manual. Appendix B contains figures and tables applicable to fall protection equipment in general. All figure, table, and chart references in this
manual are to Appendix A unless otherwise noted. All section and paragraph references are to this manual unless otherwise noted.
At the top of the unit, a swiveling steel eye provides an attachment point for a self-closing and self-locking connector. The SRD body consists of a
nylon housing containing a 9' operational length of high performance polyethylene and polyester fiber webbing wound onto a spring-tensioned
drum. The SRD is equipped with an internal brake to slow lifeline payout in a fall event. An Energy Absorber (EA) to arrest the fall is located
immediately above the leg end connector. The primary fall event indicator is a stitched fold in the lifeline above the EA. The secondary indicator is
the deployment of the EA itself. During a fall even, the stitched fold tears away first, the brake engages to slow the lifeline payout. When the
lifeline reaches full extension, the EA deploys to arrest the fall.
When attached and the worker moves about, the lifeline pays out and retracts, automatically maintaining a taut line.
See Table 1, A – E, and Figure 1.
1.2 ANSI and OSHA Regulations: The device discussed in this manual is rated for a user with a combined (clothing, tools, etc.) maximum weight of
425 lbs. when used in accordance to the instructions contained in this manual.
To maintain ANSI Z359.14 compliance, limit user's combined weight, (tools, clothing, etc.) to between 130 lbs and 310 lbs.
The SRD is OSHA 1926.502 compliant and was also tested for Static Strength per ANSI standards and OSHA regulations. See paragraph 3.5.1.
2. APPLICATION
2.1 Purpose: An SRD is designed for use as a component in a PFAS, to provide a combination of worker mobility and fall protection as required for
inspection work, general construction, maintenance work, oil production work, or any application where fall protection and worker mobility is
required.
Do not use the SRD for restraint, personnel riding, suspension, work positioning, or rescue applications, except as part of a back-up PFAS. Ensure all
components of any PFAS being used by a heavyweight worker are rated for 425 lbs.
2.2 Personal Fall Arrest System: A PFAS is typically composed of an anchorage and a FBH, with an energy absorbing connecting device, i.e., a SAL,
an SRD, or a Fall Arrester Connecting Subsystem (FACSS), attached to the dorsal D-ring of a properly fitted and adjusted FBH. All uses and
applications of a FBH with this equipment requires the FBH to be properly fitted and adjusted to the user. Failure to properly fit the FBH to the user
could result in serious injury or death.
