1. APPLICATION
The Retractable Lifeline is part of the fall arrest system. It provides
additional protection from accidental falls that may occur in the
work environment. If an accidental fall does occur, the automatic
braking system will activate and stop the decent. Please read and
understand the proper procedures outlined in this user instruction
manual before using the equipment.
This device is designed for ONE person only. All persons must be
properly trained and qualified before using this equipment. All
safety guidelines and regulations must be followed during use.
If proper procedures are not followed, serious injury or death may
occur.
2. PLANNING PROCEDURES
1.User: Fall arrest equipment must be used by a competent person
who is authorized, qualified and properly trained. The person
must be in good health with no abnormal medical conditions.
2.Inspection: The competent person must be able to visually and
physically inspect the functions of the equipment before each
use.
3.Environment: Be aware of the surrounding hazards that may
affect the performance of the equipment. Corresponding safety
precautions must be observed, e.g.: extremes of temperature,
trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges, che-
mical reagents, electrical conductivity, cutting, abrasion, climatic
exposure or pendulum falls.
4.Connect to anchorage point: The anchorage device or anchorage
point should always be positioned in order to minimize both the
potential for falling and potential fall distance. You must choose
a rigid anchor point location that will prevent free falls and swing
falls hazards. The anchorage device or point must be placed above
the position of the user. Make sure the anchor device or structural
members both conform to EN795:2012 with a minimum strength
of 12KN and the maximum angle from the vertical devicenis less
than 40 degree (Figure 1).
5.Connect to full body harness: For general fall nprotection use,
attach the snap hook to back D-Ring (Figure 2).For situations such
as ladder climbing, attach to front D-ring marked with "A" (Figure
3). The full body harness must conform to EN 361:2002 standard.
It is the only acceptable full body supporting device used in a fall
arrest system.
6.Fall Clearance: The clearance height is arrest distance H plus an
extra distance of 1M. e.g. H arrest distance 2M plus 1M = 3M the
minimum clearance distance below the user’s feet is 3M (Figure
4). Warning! It is essential for safety to verify the free space re-
quired beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion
of use, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with
the ground or the other obstacle in the fall path.
7.Rescue plan: Shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that
could arise during the work.
3. SAFETY INFORMATION
1.Read the instruction manual before use.
2.Capability: This equipment is designed for ONE person with a
total weight less than 120KG. This includes any clothing/equip-
ment the person is carrying.
3.Do not misuse: This equipment shall not be used outside its li-
mitations, such as hanging, lifting,
supporting, hoist tool or other for any purpose other than that
for which it is intended.
4.Do not make any alternations or additions to the equipment
without the manufacturer’s prior written consent.
