1. Function and Application: The Retractable type fall arrester is compliant to EN 360:2002. The product consists of: two snaphooks; housing; retractable

lanyard (line); load Indicator (See figures 4); and RFID tag (See figures 5), if present. The line material is nylon webbing and it is marked on the product

label PN 10125631/10153888 (see figure 9, pos. 13). The product is part of a fall arrest system to EN 363:2008 (Brazilian standard: ABNT NBR 14628;

Argentina standard: IRAM 3605) when attached to the fall arrest attachment of a fall arrest harness to EN 361 (Brazilian Standard: ABNT NBR 15836) and

an appropriate anchor point. The product shall not be used outside its limitations and intentions. See harness instructions for approved attachment points.

The product may be used to provide continuous fall protection while ascending, descending, or moving laterally. If a user falls, the device will

automatically stop the user's descent in a short distance while limiting the fall arrest force on the user's body. The product is intended to give users

100% tie-off when moving around the work site. One of the legs must be attached to an appropriate anchorage connector while the user moves to

the new location. At the new location, attach the second leg to an appropriate anchorage connector before disconnecting the original leg. Repeat this

procedure until the final destination has been reached. The product may be RFID enabled. For more information on how to use RFID for the product,

visit www.msanet.com/fieldid. The product must be used vertically only.

2. Training: It is the responsibility of the user of MSA Retractable type fall arrester to assure that they are made familiar with these User Instructions

and trained by a competent person. Ensure that you have been adequately trained in the use of this product equipment and make sure that you fully

understand how it works.

Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the product. More frequent inspections are required in these environments. Do not use in

environments with temperatures lower than -40°C and greater than 60°C.

3. Rescue plan: The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it; and that plan must take into account the equipment and

special training necessary to affect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions. There should be direct or indirect visual contact or some other

means of communication with the rescue at all times during the rescue process.

4. Compatibility of system parts: All components connected to this product MUST be compatible. MSA Retractable type fall arresters are designed to

be used with MSA approved components and connecting subsystems. Connecting subsystems must be suitable for use in the application (e.g. fall

arrest). Refer to the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the component or connecting subsystem to determine suitability. Contact MSA with any

questions or for further information.

5. Physical limitations: The product is designed for one user whose weight, including clothing, tools, and other user-borne objects are less than the load

capacity 100Kg. Good physical condition is necessary in order to carry out work at a height. Certain medical conditions can threaten the users' safety

during normal use of this product and in emergencies (taking medications, cardiovascular problem, etc.). In any case of doubt, consult your physician

before using. Pregnant women and minors MUST NEVER use the product.

6. Operating Procedure:

1) Insert back D-ring of harness into the D-ring connector located on product (Fig.28 installation). Ensure D-ring is correctly installed by pulling back

on D-ring. Tabs of the product should be closed preventing the D-ring from exiting the unit.

2) Connect the securing straps to the upper torso straps of the harness (Fig.3).

3) Orient the product with the D-ring at the bottom of the unit and the lanyard legs exiting the top of the unit.

Be sure the snaphook's gate is completely closed and locked. User must pull quickly on the line and the unit must lock. Inspect the product to make

sure that the product doesn't undergo the drop or force, and the product must be in good working condition before use.

7. Formal Inspection: MSA requires that all Twin Leg PFLs be inspected by a competent person other than the user per the guidelines below. A

competent person is an individual designated by an employer who is responsible for the employer's fall protection program, and through training and

knowledge, is capable of identifying, evaluating, and addressing existing and potential hazards and who has the authority to take action. MSA requires

inspections by a competent person at the following intervals:

Type of Use

Application Examples

Infrequent to Light

Rescue & confined space,

Factory maintenance

Moderate to Heavy

Transportation, Residential

construction, Utilities,

Warehouse

Severe to Continuous

Commercial construction, Oil

& Gas, Mining

Record formal inspections in the provided Inspection Log. Punch or indelibly mark the Inspection grid attached to the Twin Leg PFL. Do not use an Twin

Leg PFL with a formal inspection date older than twelve (12) months. Tag Twin Leg PFLs with formal inspections that are out of date as "UNUSABLE"

and remove from service until after formal inspection. The safety of users depends upon the continued efficiency and durability of the Twin Leg PFL.

MSA recommends keeping a log of formal inspections for all components in a fall protection system or subsystem.

AS/NZS 1891.4 requires a competent person inspection at least every 6 months.

8. Inspection Guideline:

The product must be inspected before each use to verify it is in serviceable condition.

Inspect the cable or webbing and clean regularly.

Do not oil the product.
