3.0 TRAINING
It is the responsibility of the users of this equipment to understand
these instructions, and to be trained in the correct installation,
use, and maintenance of this equipment. This user manual is not a
substitute for a training program.
IMPORTANT: Read GIUM Section 1.1 regarding training.
4.0 PLANNING
BEFORE EACH USE: Read GIUM Section 1.1 "Before each use" and
carefully inspect the SRL to assure it is in good working condition by
following the steps in Section 7.0. In addition do the following:
• Ensure all bolts are present and secure.
• Pull out the line and allow it to slowly retract. If there is any
hesitation in retraction, the unit should be returned to Capital
Safety for service.
• Check the locking action by pulling sharply on the line.
• Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.
IMPORTANT: Read GIUM Sections 1.3, 1.4, 1.12 when planning
your system.
PLANNING: Plan your fall protection system before starting your
work. Consider factors that may affect your safety before, during, and
after a fall. The following list gives some important points to consider:
• ANCHORAGE: Select a rigid anchorage point (see Figure 9). See
more on anchorage strength in Section 2.0. Carefully select the
anchorage location to reduce free fall and swing fall hazards. Op-
tional Mounting for Retrieval Systems is covered in Section 2.0.
IMPORTANT: Only SRLs that can be used in a horizontal mode
(indicated by labeling), such as the Leading Edge SRL, may be
anchored at foot level or above. See Figure 12. All other SRLs must
be anchored above the full body harness attachment (indicated by
labeling). See Figure 11.
• SWING FALLS: Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is
not directly above the point where a fall occurs. See Figure 13.
The forces of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious
injury. In a swing fall, the total vertical fall distance will be greater
than if the user had fallen directly below the anchorage point, thus
