• RETRIEVAL SYSTEM OPERATION (MODELS 3400101, 3400102,
3400301, 3400302, 3400501, 3400502): Figure 17 shows how
to activate the retrieval mode. Remove the retrieval handle on
the back side of the SRL by pushing the release button on top of
the handle and pulling upward. Install the pin into the hole on the
end of the retrieval arm. Rotate the arm assembly to the side
to access the shift knob. Lift the pull ring (on the shift knob) and
rotate it counterclockwise 1/8 turn and release. Rotate retrieval
arm clockwise to aid engagement. The shift knob should move
inward and rotate to a locked position when drive is fully
engaged.
◊ To Raise: Rotate retrieval arm counterclockwise.
◊ To Lower: Rotate retrieval arm clockwise. Keep tension on life-
line at all times (34 kg. minimum).
IMPORTANT: A minimum load of 34 kg is required for lowering or
to pay out line.
IMPORTANT: If a fall occurs in the fall arrest mode and the worker
must be lowered to safety, raise the worker slightly to release the
locking pawls and lower the worker.
IMPORTANT: Do not continue to rotate the retrieval arm in the
lowering direction after the cable is fully extended. Spring damage
may occur.
◊ Disengagement of retrieval mode: Remove load from the
lifeline. Rotate the shift knob counterclockwise 1/8 turn, pull
ring out, rotate shift knob clockwise 1/8 turn. Release pull ring.
Remove retrieval handle from retrieval arm and stow in stow-
age bracket. Insert retrieval handle pin through handle and into
stowage bracket.
◊ Retrieval overload feature: SRLs incorporating the retrieval
feature (as shown in Figure 17) are provided with an overload
clutch which protects the drive components and the person
being raised from excessive force. This same feature provides
shock absorption for the user if a fall occurs when the retrieval
mode is engaged. The overload clutch is set to slip at approxi-
mately 227 kg. to allow for emergency rescue applications where
additional lifting capacity is required.
IMPORTANT: Capacity for retrieval operation is 210 kg.
