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.
3.3

Making Proper Connections

WARNING!
Do not rely on feel or sound to verify proper snaphook or carabiner engagement. Ensure that gate and
keeper are closed before use.
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-compat-
ibly 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.

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.
