P/N 10157620
Check the casing for any foreign debris.
Labels and warnings should be legible.
Confirm product locks by quickly pulling line out of the housing. The product must lock and remain locked until line tension is relaxed.
Check to see if the load indicator has been activated. If the load indicator shows signs of activation or there is a sign shows that the product underwent the
drop or force, 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.
9. To approximate required clearance:
Measure the distance from the anchorage to the User's back D-Ring for all possible fall hazards. Both vertical and horizontal distances are required; these
should be rounded up to the nearest 0.3 m. Use the numbers on the side and top of the appropriate chart to locate the anchorage. The value in that block of
the chart is the minimum required clearance between the User's Working Surface and the Nearest Obstruction in feet. Each block in the figure represents a
0.3 m distance from the User's back D-ring.
For example, a worker using a WORKMAN MINI PFL that is anchored 0.3 m above and 1.5 m to the left of the User's back D-ring will require a clearance of
3.0 m. (see figure 6). Alternatively a worker using a WORKMAN MINI PFL that is anchored 1.2 m above and 1.05 m to the right of the User's D-ring will require
a clearance of 2.1 m (see -figure 6).
Notes:
-The clearance provided is for the user working in a standing position. If the User is kneeling or bending down, an additional 0.9 m of clearance is required.
Warnings:
-For the standard WORKMAN MINI PFL the User must never anchor more than 2' (0.6 m) below the User's back D-ring.
User must not anchor in locations not represented in the appropriate chart. Misuse can result in serious injury or death.
A full body harness to EN 361 (Australian Standard: AS/NZS 1891.1:2007) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
If a complete system is supplied, that components of any complete system shall not be substituted.
Single leg configurations, MUST ONLY be connected to the harness attachment points with the fall arrest attachment tag "A". Twin leg configurations must
only be attached as shown in figure 2.
Never use the hip, or shoulder 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.
When attaching the product, if possible choose an anchor point directly ABOVE the user's position to minimize swing falls. Avoid any point on which strength
is doubtful. Personal fall arrest system anchorage connectors must be capable of supporting a static load, applied in each direction permitted by the system
of at least:
a) Standard requirement in accordance with EN 795 (TP TC 019/2011, ДСТУ EN 795) or equivalent AS/NZS 1891.4
b) 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) when uncertified
When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the anchorage strengths set forth in (a) and (b) above shall be multiplied by the
number of personal fall arrest systems attached.
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.
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 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 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 or cold less than -40°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.
