PRE-USE INSPECTION
If the SRL is known to have arrested a fall, it must be removed from service immediately and returned for
inspection and servicing.
Before each use check:
(a)
that the brake operates correctly.
(b)
that the SRL is securely anchored level with or above the user (NEVER below).
(c)
that all components to be used in conjunction with this device are compatible and in
good condition.
(d)
avoid anchoring the device in such a position that could result in a 'pendulum/swing fall' (this
may occur if the device is positioned at > 30º from the vertical in relation to the end user).
Extend the wire rope/webbing fully (wearing suitable protective gloves) and inspect along its
length for damage, such as:
(a)
broken or frayed wires/webbing.
(b)
soiling and/or corrosion.
(c)
kinks and twists in the wire/webbing.
(d)
inspect the swage/stitching for damage.
(e)
check the connector(s) being used as per the User Instructions supplied with the connector
(f )
check that the Overload/Fall Indicator is not exposed.
Check the device housing for signs of mechanical deformation, cracks, or chemical contamination and/or
other defects.
Retract the wire rope/webbing slowly; during retraction give the wire rope a sharp sudden tug in order
to activate the braking mechanism. This check should be carried out along the full length of the rope at
approximately 20% increments.
If any of the above criteria fail then the device must be removed from service. In the event of any doubt
consult a trained and competent person.
Warning: If this SRL or any fall protection device is known to have arrest a fall, it must be removed
from service immediately.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Fall arrestors in accordance with EN 360:2002, CSA Z259.2.2, ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-
2007, Z359.14-2012 represent personal safety equipment serving to protect the
user in conjunction with a safety harness EN 361:2002 / CSA Z259.10 / ANSI /ASSE
Z359.1-2007 where falling hazards exist (e.g. on roofs, scaffolding, ladders and in
shafts). The device must only be used corresponding to its intended purpose.
2.
Failure to comply with the instructions for use will result in a danger to life
(Figure 2). In the event of a fall, the person must not be exposed to a prolonged
state of hanging for longer than 20 minutes (danger of shock).
3.
Safety harnesses according to EN 361:2002 / CSA Z259.10 /
ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007 are permitted for use with the fall
arrestor (other harnesses etc. are not permissible) (Figure 1).
