Use:
Frontline friendly reminder-
Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment.
Some subsystems and component combinations may interfere with the operation of this equipment. Use
caution when using this equipment around moving machinery, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, sharp
edges
(cannot use web SRL's with sharp object application)
, or overhead materials that may fall onto the
lifeline. Do not loop the lifeline around structural members. (only lanyard designed for tie-back are
approved for tie-back directly onto the webbing). Tie-back can be used to tie-off directly to the structure
and back to the unit itself when a suitable structure anchor is available and which can also withstand the
required fall forces. Never attach the tie-back snap hook to the tie-back SRL between the shock pack and
the housing of the SRL.
DO NOT
extend the lifeline past the operational limit.
DO NOT
allow one SRL lifeline to become tangled or twisted with another SRL lifeline during use.
DO NOT
allow any lifeline to pass under arms or between legs during use.
DO NOT
clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut.
DO NOT
lengthen the SRL by connecting a lifeline or similar component.
DO NOT
allow the lifeline to remain outside the housing when not in use.
DO NOT
allow the lifeline to freewheel back into the housing. Use a tag line to maintain tension and rewind
the lifeline during periods of inactivity.
Use the tag line to retrieve the leg end connector for the next use.
DO NOT
leave the tag line connected to the leg end connector when using the SRL for fall protection.
Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your fitness to safely absorb the shock from a fall arrest. Age
and fitness seriously affect a worker's ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use
Frontline self-retracting lifelines. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious injury or death.
Operation:
Prior to use, inspect the SRL as described in Inspection sentence. Connect the snap hook, carabiner
attachment to a suitable anchorage. Ensure hooks are fully closed and locked. Once attached, the worker is
free to move about within the recommended working area. If a fall occurs, the SRL will lock and arrest the
fall. Upon rescue, remove the SRL from use. When working with an SRL, always allow the lifeline to retract
back into the device under control.
Frontline friendly reminder-
Do not tie or knot the lifeline. Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. Inspect the lifeline
frequently for cuts, fraying, burns, or signs of chemical damage. Dirt, contaminants, and water can lower
the dielectric properties of the lifeline. Use caution near power lines. Failure to heed this warning may
result in serious injury or death.
After A Fall:
If a fall event occurs, tag the SRL as " UNUSABLE", remove it from service, and store it separately. Remove
from service any unit that has been subjected to fall arrest forces or that exhibits damage consistent with
such forces.
