P/N 10121835
Confirm product locks by quickly pulling line out of the housing. The product must lock and remain locked until line tension is relaxed.
If the product is fitted with a load indicator, check to see if it has been activated. If the load indicator shows signs of activation, the product must be
returned to the manufacturer, or organization authorized by the manufacturer.
The following factors can reduce the performance of the product and its lifespan: incorrect storage, incorrect use, fall arrest, mechanical warping,
contact with chemicals (acids and alkalis), exposure to high temperatures.
Do not use the product if inspection shows an unsafe condition, until confirmed in writing by a competent person that it is safe to do so.
A full body harness to EN 361 (Customs Union Technical Regulation TP TC 019/2011; Ukrainian standard: ДСТУ EN 361:2008) is the only acceptable body
holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
The product, MUST ONLY be connected to the harness back D-ring or front D-ring only with the fall arrest attachment tag "A". These points can also be used
for connecting a rescue system.
Never use the hip D-ring for fall arrest.
It is essential for safety that the equipment is withdrawn from use immediately if any doubt arise about its condition for safe use. A record must be kept by the
user. Refer to labels for the material of the retractable lanyard. After a rescue operation the product must be inspected by a competent person.
When attaching the product, choose an anchor point directly ABOVE the user's position to minimize swing falls (see figure 8). Avoid any point on which
strength is doubtful. Structural anchors provided for the purpose (in accordance with EN 795; Customs Union Technical Regulation TP TC 019/2011;
Ukrainian standard: ДСТУ EN 375:2006) or anchorage points with a minimum strength of 10 KN MUST be used. Potential for falls and fall distance
MUST be minimized.
Consideration MUST be given to the necessary minimum clearance (See figure 6) below the feet of the user to prevent a collision with the structure or
the ground. The minimum recommended clearance is 3 m.
DO NOT modify or attempt repairs on the product. Do not lubricate any parts. Only MSA or parties with written authorization from MSA may repair an
MSA Retractable type fall arrester.
If the product has been subjected to fall arrest or impact forces, it MUST be immediately removed from use and tagged "UNUSABLE". Remove unit
from service if the load indicator (See figures 4) is deployed.
Use product only for the fall arrest of one person. Do not use the product as a restraint or positioning device. Do not install or use where product may
encounter electrical hazards. Do not use to arrest falls due to the collapse of sliding masses, e.g. grain, sand, and liquids. Do not use where objects
may fall or otherwise interfere with the operation or ability of this device to function properly.
Do not rely on feel or sound to verify proper snaphook engagement. Always check visually for proper engagement. Ensure that gate and keeper are
closed before use.
Keep retractable lanyard clear of other workers, objects, and obstructions. Do not clamp off, knot, or stand on line. Do not permit line slack. Do not allow
the line to pass around the body or limbs. Do not lengthen line by connecting to another line. Do not release the line and allow it to freely retract back
into the housing. Do not leave a product's line extended when it's not being used for fall protection. Do not expose the line to sharp edges, abrasive
surfaces, sparks, flame, or heat above 60°C.
When installing or removing the product, limit exposure to fall hazards. A separate independent fall arrest system may be required.
It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the reseller shall provide instructions and
additional relevant information for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in the language of the country in which the product is
to be used.
Failure to follow these warnings or misuse can cause serious personal injuries or death.
Strictly adhere to the cleaning instructions in this section to prevent adverse effects on the materials used in the product. Clean the product periodically
with a clean damp (not wet) cloth to remove dirt or contamination which may cause corrosion, hamper operation, or diminish readability of the labels.
To remove oil or grease, use a mild laundry detergent. Do not use chemicals, harsh detergents, abrasives, or pressure washers. Never immerse
the product in water or other liquid. Dry with a clean cloth and hang the product to air dry. Do not speed dry with heat. Excessive accumulation of
dirt, paint or other foreign matter may prevent proper function of the product, and, in severe cases, weaken the line. Contact MSA with questions
concerning product conditions and cleaning. Some environments may require the product be disinfected. Contact MSA for aid in determining the
proper disinfection procedure for the specific application.
Product which is damaged or in need of maintenance must be tagged as "UNUSABLE" and removed from service. Dispose in accordance with local
regulations. Corrective maintenance (other than cleaning ) and repair, such as replacement of elements, must be performed by the MSA factory. Do
not attempt field repairs. Moving parts of snaphooks and carabiners may require periodic lubrication with low viscosity penetrating oil. Follow lubricant
manufacturer's instructions. Do not over-lubricate. Wipe excess with a clean, dry cloth.
Store the product in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where heat, moisture, light, oil, and chemicals or their vapours or
other degrading elements may be present. Never allow product to rest for lengthy periods of time on concrete or ash floors as lime sulfur and ash can
cause corrosion. Store the product with line fully retracted. Product which is damaged or in need of maintenance should not be stored in the same
area as usable equipment. Heavily soiled, wet, or otherwise contaminated equipment should be properly maintained (e.g. dried and cleaned) prior to
storage. Prior to using equipment which has been stored for long periods of time, a Formal Inspection should be performed by a competent person.
Transport the product in a package to protect it from cuts, moisture, chemicals and their vapours, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet rays. Protect
the line at the nozzle during transportation to prevent damage. Secure the product housing and snaphook from movement when possible.
