5.0 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

• BODY SUPPORT: When using Capital Safety SRLs a full body
harness (EN361) must be worn. For general fall protection use,
connect to the dorsal (back) D-ring between the shoulders.
◊ Retrieval Operations: It is recommended that a full body
harness be used to retrieve the victim, assuming their medi-
cal condition allows for such retrieval. Models are available with
retrieval connections (shoulder D-rings) on top of the shoulders
to aid in rescue operations.
WARNING: Body belts are not allowed for free fall situations.
They increase the risk of injury during fall arrest in comparison to
a full body harness. Limited suspension time and the potential for
improperly wearing a body belt may result in added danger to the
user's health. See also GIUM Section 2.0.
• MAKING CONNECTIONS: When using a hook or carabiner to
make a connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur. See Section
2.0, "Compatibility of Connectors." See Figure 15. Use a locking
snap hook or carabiner (A) that will completely close over the
anchorage (B) or anchorage connector (C). It is recommended
that the Model 340614 attach to a structure in a fi xed position (vs.
hanging) with the hardware supplied. The mounting surface should
meet the anchorage strength requirements stated in Section 2.0,
"Anchorage Strength." Follow the manufacturer's instructions
supplied with each system component.
6.0 USE
See Figure 16. Connect the SRL (A) to a suitable anchorage (B).
Connect the self-locking snap hook (C), to the fall arrest or ladder
climbing attachment (D) on the full body harness (E). See Figure
17. Ensure connections are compatible and hook is fully closed and
locked. Once attached, the worker is free to move about within the
recommended working area at normal speeds. The lifeline should
extend smoothly and retract without hesitation. The lifeline must
remain taut at all times during normal use. If slack line condition is
created during normal use, the unit should be returned to Capital
Safety for service. If a fall occurs, the SRL will lock and arrest the fall.
WARNING: Upon rescue, remove the SRL from use. See GIUM
Section 1.2.
Inspect as described in Section 7.0, "After Fall Arrest." When working
with an SRL, always allow the lifeline to recoil back into the device
under control. A short tag line may be required to extend or retract
the lifeline during connection and disconnection. Allowing the lifeline
to be fully extended for long periods of time may cause premature
weakening of the retraction spring.
