Installation and Use
Guardian Fall Protection Diablo Cable SRLs MUST NEVER be used in Leading Edge (LE) applications.
No free fall is allowed.
ALWAYS avoid lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive edges and surfaces.
1. All PFAS components must be selected and deemed compatible with Diablo Cable SRL by Competent
Person.
2. Ensure structure to which Diablo Cable SRL is to be attached, and on which work is to be performed, is
free of all hazards, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, sharp or abrasive edges and surfaces, and
hazardous materials.
3. Eliminate or minimize all risk of swing fall hazards.
4. Attach Diablo Cable SRL housing to compatible anchorage connector, and connect snap hook to applicable
D-ring on full-body harness.
5. Ensure 100% tie-off will be maintained at all times, which may require the use of a back-up or
supplementary fall protection system.
Not Deployed

Deployed
(REMOVE FROM SERVICE)
Prior to EACH use, check lifeline retraction
by pulling out a minimum 4’ and allowing
it to retract under light tension; lifeline
must retract completely. Pull lifeline
sharply to test braking function; brakes
must engage. Depending on model or
configuration, check shock pack for signs of
deployment, and/or fall arrest indicator for
signs of activation. Indicator will display red
if unsafe for use. See images on right.
Deployed indicator will also allow swivel
eye to lift up and away from main body of
