5.1
RFID TAG: The Self-Retracting Device includes a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag (see Figure 12). The RFID
tag can be used with the handheld reading device and web based portal to simplify inspection and inventory control and
provide records for your fall protection equipment. For details, contact a 3M Customer Service representative (see back
cover). Follow the instructions provided with your handheld reader, or on the web portal, to transfer your data to your
web log.
5.2

inspections.
5.3
UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS: If inspection reveals an unsafe defective condition, remove the
Self-Retracting Device from service immediately, mark as "UNUSABLE", and send to an authorized service center for

6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE
6.1
CLEANING: Cleaning procedures for the Self-Retracting Device are as follows:
•
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRD so excess water can
drain out. Clean labels as required.
•
Clean lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An
excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc. may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a
potential free fall hazard. Replace lifeline if excessive buildup is present.
6.2
SERVICE: Additional maintenance and servicing procedures must be completed by an authorized service center. Do not
attempt to disassemble the SRL or lubricate any parts.
6.3
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: Store and transport Self-Retracting Device in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct
sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL after any period of extended storage.
