• Do not attempt to service this device; if it does not operate satisfactorily or requires repairs,
return the unit to Miller Fall Protection or an authorized service center for repairs.
• Do not lubricate this device.
• The lifeline must be kept clean.
• The equipment should be installed overhead and used in such a manner as to reduce the
potential for a pendulum fall.
• Allow adequate fall clearance below the work surface when using this device.
• Never work above the device.
• Never use the device as a restraint or positioning device.
• Never allow the lifeline to become slack or to pass under or entwine around the user’s arms,
legs, or any other obstacle or person.
• Do not allow cable, rope or webbing lifelines to come in contact with anything that will damage
the lifeline including but not limited to sharp, abrasive, rough or high temperature surfaces,
welding, heat sources, electrical hazards, or moving machinery.
• Use in highly corrosive or caustic environment dictates a more frequent inspection and
servicing program to ensure the integrity of the unit is maintained. Contact Miller Fall Protection
in cases of doubt.
• Employers must provide for prompt rescue in the event of a fall.
• Do not allow lifeline in any application to bend or be subjected to fall arresting forces over
structural members or edges.
• Failure to follow instructions could cause serious injury or death.
• Note: All Miller Falcon models can be coupled with a 928LS Shock-Absorber for users that
weigh between 311 and 400 lbs. (141 and 181 kg.) The 928LS must be mounted between the back
D-ring of the user’s harness and the snaphook of the Falcon.
B. SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
Miller retractable lifelines are designed for use with
Miller approved components. Substitution or
replacement with non-approved components will
endanger the compatibility within the system and
may affect the reliability and safety of the total
system. It is recommended that the user wear a
Miller full-body harness to distribute the fall
arresting forces over the body and to keep an
unconscious or injured worker in an upright
position.
II. INSTALLATION
The Falcon series retractable lifelines must be
mounted to an overhead anchor by the attachment
swivel using a locking carabiner or another Miller
Fall Protection approved mounting device. The
anchorage fixtures must be capable of supporting
a 5,000 lb. (22kN) tensile load or meet OSHA
1926.502 requirements for a safety factor of two.
Review all warnings and instructions when
selecting a mounting location.
The Falcon series retractable lifelines must be
inspected and tested satisfactorily before each use
as described in section III. Operation & Inspection.
Before the user is subject to a fall hazard, connect
the snap hook of the unit onto the back D-ring of
the user’s harness.
