8 Fall clearance
It is essential to verify the free space required beneath the User before each use, so
that, in the event of a fall there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle.
This shall include the review of risk of colliding with structures, especially when falling
over the edge. A minimum of 19 ft 9in (6 m) from the working level to the ground,
when anchored at foot to head level, or 13 ft 2 in (4 m) above head level should be
maintained - Figure B.

9 Cleaning, storage and transportation
If required, the Latchways Leading Edge SRL exterior and lifeline may be cleaned
using a damp cloth and warm water (max 104ºF (40 °C)), and allowed to dry naturally
before use. Excessive build-up of dirt, paint etc. can compromise both retraction and
strength of the lifeline.
Do not allow the lifeline to be fully extracted for long periods of time as this may
cause weakening of the retraction spring. Do not let go of the lifeline as it will retract
at high speed potentially damaging internal parts, causing kinks in the lifeline and/or
deploying the load-indicators.
Store or transport the Latchways Leading Edge SRL in a cool, dry, clean
environment, away from dust, oil and direct sunlight. During transportation, the device
shall be protected to prevent damage or contamination. Examine the Latchways
Leading Edge SRL after long periods of storage prior to returning it to service.
