Anchors shall only be connected to the swivel at the top of the housing. DO NOT connect an anchor to the carrying
l
handle on the housing of the 30 ft (10 m) / 50 ft (15 m) SRL.
Additional lanyard connectors shall not be added, as this would serve to lengthen the lifeline and increase free fall.
l
Unsuitable for use on unstable surfaces, fine grain materials or particulate surfaces such as sand or coal, as
l
insufficient speed may prevent lock-on in the event of a fall (possible engulfment hazard).
DO NOT use where line may be exposed to abrasive edges. For leading edge guidance, see Section
l
Edge Installation and
SRLs shall not come into contact with hot surfaces (such as hot pipes), become entangled with moving machinery, or
l
come into contact with electrical hazards (such as high voltage power lines).
SRLs shall be protected from fire, acids, caustic solutions, or temperatures outside the range -40°F to 130°F (-40°C
l
to 54°C).
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
5.2
General Installation and Use
Connectors: Ensure SRL connectors are compatible with the attachments to which they are connected (to prevent roll-
out), and are fully closed and locked before use. See Section
Anchors: Ensure the SRL is attached to a compatible anchor – flexible anchors, such as anchor lines, horizontal lifelines,
rail, or cantilever structures can affect the ability of the SRL to lock-on in the case of a fall. For further clarification on
compatibility specifications, refer to the user instructions of the flexible anchor product. Should compatibility information not
be included in the flexible anchor user instructions, contact the flexible anchor manufacturer for clarification.
WARNING!
Anchors shall only be connected to the swivel at the top of the housing. DO NOT connect an anchor to the carrying handle
on the housing of the 30 ft (10 m) / 50 ft (15 m) SRL.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
Retraction: In use, the SRL lifelines will extract and retract without hesitation. Do not allow the lifeline to pass through legs,
under arms, or wrap around structures. If the lifeline does not retract in use, fully extract the lifeline and slowly allow it to
retract. If the lifeline continues to hesitate in retraction, contact MSA.
Storage: When not in use, store with the lifeline fully retracted as prolonged periods of full extraction may weaken the
retraction spring. Guide the lifeline back to the unit for full retraction. Do NOT release lifeline from a distance as it will retract
at high speed, potentially damaging internal parts or cause cable jamming. If cable is jammed, firmly pull on the lifeline to
help cinch cable around the inner drum. Next, completely push the top of the rubber bumper through the opening of the
black nozzle. If the lifeline does not then freely retract, repeat the process several times. If the unit cannot be unjammed
after repeated attempts, discontinue use of the unit and contact MSA Customer Service. The connector may also strike
objects in its path, causing damage to those objects and to the connector. See Section
cleaning and storage instructions.
5.3
Leading Edge Installation and Use
If a fall over an edge is possible, special rescue measures shall be defined and trained for. Consideration shall be given to
accessing a suspended user without further loading or moving the lifeline over an edge.
WARNING!
Leading Edge configurations shall only be used after all other hierarchy of controls, including restraint systems and
l
overhead anchorages, have been exhausted.
Leading Edge configurations shall only be used in accordance with local regulations.
l
Leading Edge configurations shall be used in accordance with the instructions, warnings and limitations in these
l
User Instructions.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
