9.0 USAGE
9.1 WORKMAN FP STRYDER INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE
Inspect the WORKMAN FP STRYDER to verify it is in serviceable condition. Examine entire device for signs of cracking or deformation. See Section
10 for inspection details. Do not use a WORKMAN FP STRYDER if inspection of it reveals an unsafe condition.
9.2 MAKING PROPER CONNECTIONS
When connecting the D-ring of the WORKMAN FP STRYDER to a lanyard subsystem, be certain accidental disengagement ("rollout") cannot occur.
Rollout is possible when interference between a snaphook and the mating connector causes the snaphook's gate or keeper to accidentally open
and release. Rollout occurs when a snaphook is snapped into an under sized ring such as an eye bolt or other non-compatibly shaped connector.
Only self closing, self locking snaphooks and carabiners should be used to reduce the possibility of rollout when making connections. Do not use
snaphooks or connectors that will not completely close over the attachment object. Do not make knots in a lanyard. Do not hook a lanyard back onto
itself. Snaphooks and carabiners must not be connected to each other. Do not attach two snaphooks into one D-ring. Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with each system component.
9.3 CONNECTING THE WORKMAN FP STRYDER
The WORKMAN FP STRYDER may be used in above or below beam applications. To use the WORKMAN FP STRYDER, depress the buttons to
unlock the jaws and slide the jaws far enough apart to fit over the flange of the I-beam anchorage (See FIG 1). Push the jaws together to capture the
flange of the I-beam. Release the buttons to lock the jaw to the crossbar. Fine adjust the jaws to fit, by alternating locking the jaws in the differently
placed slot in the crossbar (See FIG 2). The maximum total clearance between the jaws and the flange is 0.5 inch (12.7mm) (See FIG 5). Verify the
jaws are locked into the crossbar (See FIG 3). The user can then connect the snaphook or carabiner of their lanyard subsystem to the D-ring of the
WORKMAN FP STRYDER (See FIG 4). Be certain the snaphook or carabiner gate is completely closed and locked.
9.4 MOVING AROUND THE WORK AREA
The WORKMAN FP STRYDER is designed to move along the flange of the I-beam anchorage, following the user movements. Move around carefully
to prevent loss of balance in the event the WORKMAN FP STRYDER binds or contacts an obstacle in the path of movement.
DO NOT exceed the allowable free fall distance as specified by governing standards subsystem components.
DO NOT exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as specified by governing standards subsystem components.
The capacity of the workMaN FP Stryder must be greater or equal the sub-system components.
9.5 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not alter the equipment. Do not pass lanyard subsystem components over sharp edges or abrasive surfaces.
Use the WORKMAN FP STRYDER only on horizontal beams.
10.0 INSPECTION
10.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY
The WORKMAN FP STRYDER must be inspected by the user before each use. Additionally, the WORKMAN FP STRYDER must be inspected by a
competent person other than the user at intervals of no more than six months. The competent person inspection is referred to as Formal Inspection.
An inspection log must be filled out during the Formal Inspection, see section 11.0. In addition, the inspection log on the WORKMAN FP STRYDER
label must be marked or punched to indicate when the last Formal Inspection occurred.
If the WORKMAN FP STRYDER has been subjected to fall arrest forces or impact it must be removed from
service and destroyed.
10.2 PROCEDURE FOR INSPECTION
Perform the following steps in sequence. If in doubt about any inspection point, consult MSA or a competent person who is qualified to perform Formal
Inspection as set forth in Section 11.
