Twin Srds; Twin Srd Work Zone Transition; Locking Speed; Impact Indicator - Falltech WrapTech Manual De Instrucciones Para El Usuario

4. Connect the leg end connector to an approved, suitable anchorage structure by connecting the carabiner to an installed anchor point, or
by wrapping the jacketed portion of the lifeline around a pipe, beam, or other suitable structural member, and attaching the special
carabiner back onto the jacketed portion of the lifeline. Ensure the carabiner does not contact the bare lifeline outside of the sheathing.
Do not connect the carabiner between the energy absorber and the SRD housing.
The SRD will pay out and retract smoothly to maintain a taut line during normal movement. Work as directly under the anchor as possible. Be
aware that a lower anchorage increases the risk of injury due to swing fall. Additional fall clearance is required.
DO NOT use a rebar hook or any large-throat snap hook or large carabiner to install the housing on the FBH, as this could cause a side load and
create an unintentional disengagement.
4.2.2 Twin SRDs: A twin SRD installation is attached to the user's FBH harness with a specially configured oval triple-locking carabiner, as shown in
Figure 6A. Do not attach a twin SRD to the FBH with a standard carabiner. The user must be aware that an incorrect attachment may cause an
equipment failure, which may result in serious injury or death. Figure 6B shows common INCORRECT attachments. Ensure your twin SRD is
attached correctly. If you have questions regarding the installation of this unit, contact FallTech Customer Service at info@falltech.com
Ensure the carabiner is correctly installed on the FBH as shown in Figure 6A. Incorrect installation may result in serious injury or death. Figure 6B
Twin Attachment Directly to Anchorage: Attach the leg end connectors, one at a time, directly to an anchorage, overhead or non-overhead, up to
a maximum of 2' below the dorsal D-ring, by a user with a working weight of up to 310 lbs maximum.
Twin Attachment in WrapTech: The twin WrapTech may be wrapped around an anchorage structure, and the special carabiner attached back onto
the jacketed portion of the lifeline. Ensure the abrasive protection wrapped portion of the lifeline contacts the anchorage structure. Do not connect
the carabiner between the EA and the SRD housing.

4.3 Twin SRD Work Zone Transition:

only for transitioning from one work zone to another for 100% tie-off, as shown in Figure 7.
Attach one leg end connector to a suitable anchor. The user may then move to another work location and attach the unused leg to another suitable
anchorage. Detach the original attached leg. Repeat the procedure, until the desired work location is reached.
4.4 Locking Speed: The SRD utilizes a centrifugal locking mechanism. The locking function requires a certain payout rate during a fall event to
function correctly. If a fall occurs, a pawl mechanism is engaged, which locks the drum, halting payout. The energy absorber deploys to slow and
arrest the fall. Certain situations, cramped spaces, shifting footing such as sand, gravel, grain, or a sloped surface may not allow the lifeline to reach
sufficient speed to activate the lock mechanism. A clear path is required to assure positive locking of the SRD.
4.5 Impact Indicator: The fall arrest impact indicator for this unit is the EA. Inspect the unit before each use, and in accordance with the
instructions in this manual. A deployed shock absorber, or any broken or torn stitching, indicates the SRD has been subjected to fall arrest forces.
Remove the SRD from service immediately.
DO NOT allow any lifelines to become tangled or twisted together as this may prevent them from functioning normally.
DO NOT allow any lifeline to pass under arms or between legs during use.
DO NOT
clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut.
DO NOT
lengthen the SRD by connecting a lifeline or similar component.
DO NOT allow the lifeline to freewheel back into the housing. Use a tag line if necessary.
After a Fall: Remove from service immediately any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces, or exhibiting damage consistent with the effects of fall
arrest forces.

See Table 1A.

6. MAINTENANCE, SERVICE AND STORAGE

6.1 Maintenance: Keep the SRD free of contaminants such as paint, grease, grit and chemicals as this may hinder lifeline functions. Keep debris
from entering the housing through the lifeline port. Clean the exterior of the unit as required with a soap/water solution. Do not allow any water
inside the housing. After cleaning, pull the lifeline all the way out, allow the unit to air dry, then retract the lifeline into the unit. Do not allow the
lifeline to freewheel into the housing. Maintain tension. Use a tag line if necessary.
DO NOT use heat to dry.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the SRD.
Inspect the SRD according to the procedures in Section 7 before returning it to service. If the SRD fails any portion of the inspection checklist,
remove it from service, tag the unit as "UNUSABLE", and consult with the manufacturer.
6.2 Service: Remove the unit from service if it has been subjected to fall arrest force. Tag the unit as "UNUSABLE" to prevent future use. The SRD is
not repairable.
6.3 Storage: Hang to store, out of direct sunlight. Ensure the lifeline is completely retracted into the housing. Avoid exposure to chemical agents
and vapors, airborne debris, and water ingress.
Store units tagged as "UNUSABLE" in a clearly marked area to prevent inadvertent use. Inspect any unit that has been stored for an extended
period of time in accordance with the procedures detailed in Section 7.

7. INSPECTION

7.1 Pre-Use Inspection: Perform an inspection before each use in accordance with the Inspection Checklist procedures in Table 3. See paragraph 7.4.
7.2 Inspection Frequency: OSHA 1910.66 and OSHA 1926.502 require an inspection by an authorized person before each use. In addition, an
inspection by a competent person at regular intervals is required. The competent person will use the information in the Inspection Interval Table to
determine the inspection frequency. See Table 2.
7.3 Inspection Checklist: Use the Inspection Checklist provided to inspect the SRD. See Table 3.
7.4 Inspection Results: If an inspection reveals defects in or damage to the equipment, inadequate maintenance or activated fall force indicators,
mark as "UNUSABLE" and remove the equipment from service.
7.5 Inspection Document: Record inspection results on the Inspection Record provided in Appendix B, or on a similar document.
