System Requirements - Falltech DuraTech 6 Mini Single Manuel De L'utilisateur

NOTE: Attachment to any anchorage other than directly overhead will require additional fall clearance distance and swing fall clearance.
Lateral movement will result in a significant increase to fall clearance distance and swing fall requirements. See Section 4.
3.4 Application Limits: Take action to avoid moving machinery, sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, and thermal, electrical, or chemical
hazards as contact may cause serious injury or death.
DO NOT attach to a foot-level anchorage.
DO NOT use the SRD to lift tools, materials, or personnel.
Remove from service any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces.

System Requirements

4.1 Capacity: The DuraTech 6' Mini Single/Twin Self Retracting Device covered in this manual, are CSA compliant, with a listed single
user capacity, including clothing, tools, etc., of 59 kg (130 lbs) to no more than 140.6 kg (310 lbs). No more than one SRD may be
connected to one anchorage/anchorage connector at one time.
4.2 Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed
to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how
they become oriented. Contact FallTech if you have any questions about compatibility. Connectors must be compatible with the
anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally
disengage. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-closing, self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are specified
by CSA.
4.3 Making Connections: Only use self-locking connectors with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each application.
Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Visually ensure all
connectors are fully closed and locked. Connectors (snap hooks, rebar hooks, and carabiners) are designed for use only as specified in this
manual.
A
Never connect two active components (snap hooks or carabiners) to each other.
B Never connect two active components (snap hooks or carabiners) to a single D-ring at the same time.
C Never connect in a way that would produce a condition of loading on the gate.
D Never attach to a object in a manner whereby the gate (of the snap hook or carabiner) would be
prevented from fully closing and locking. Always guard against false connections by visually inspecting for closure and lock.
E Never attach explicitly to a constituent subcomponent (webbing, cable or rope) unless specifically provided for by the manufacturer's instructions for both
subcomponents (snap hook or carabiner and webbing, cable or rope).
F Never attach in a manner where an element of the connector (gate or release lever) may become caught on the anchor thereby producing additional risk of
false engagement.
G Never attach a spreader snap hook to two side/positioning D-rings in a manner whereby the D-rings will engage the gates; the gates on a spreader must
always be facing away from the D-rings during work positioning.
4.4 PFAS Anchorage Strength: An anchorage selected for PFAS must have a strength able to sustain a static load applied in the direction
permitted by the PFAS of at least:
a. Two times the maximum arrest force permitted when certification exists, or
b. 22.2 kN (5,000 lbs) in the absence of certification.
4.5 Rescue: Rescue applications require specialized equipment and is beyond the scope of this manual.
