3.4 Rescue:
Ensure a written rescue plan, method, and system is in place and readily available for rapid response.
Rescues may require specialized equipment or measures. Rescue operations are beyond the scope of
this manual. See ANSI Z359.4.
3.5 Application Limits:
Take action to avoid moving machinery, abrasive surfaces, and thermal, electrical, including the arc
from welding applications, and chemical hazards as contact may damage the SRL, which may result
in serious injury or death. The SRL is not designed for use in restraint, personnel riding, suspension,
or work positioning. Rescue applications are beyond the scope of this manual. Do not use the SRL for
these applications except as a back-up PFAS.
4.0 System Requirements
4.1 Capacity:
The FT-X Cable Class 2 Leading Edge SRL-P is designed for use by a single user with a combined
TM
weight of user, tools, clothing, etc., of:
a. 130 - 310 lbs. (59 - 141 kg) to comply with ANSI and OSHA
b. 130 - 420 lbs. (59 - 191 kg) to comply with OSHA only
4.2 Compatibility Of Connectors:
Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed
to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms
to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact FallTech if you have any
questions about compatibility. Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system
components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible, see Figure 4. Non-compatible connectors
may unintentionally disengage. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-
closing, self-locking connectors are required by ANSI and OSHA.
A
Never connect two active components (snap hooks or carabiners) to each other.
B
Never connect two active components (snap hooks or carabiners) to a single D-ring at the same time.
C
Never connect in a way that would produce a condition of loading on the gate.
Never attach to an object in a manner whereby the gate (of the snap hook or carabiner) would be
D
prevented from fully closing and locking. Always guard against false connections by visually inspecting
for closure and lock.
Never attach explicitly to a constituent subcomponent (webbing, cable or rope) unless specifically
E
provided for by the manufacturer's instructions for both subcomponents (snap hook or carabiner and
webbing, cable, or rope).
Never attach in a manner where an element of the connector (gate or release lever) may become
F
caught on the anchor thereby producing additional risk of false engagement.
Never attach a spreader snap hook to two side/positioning D-rings in a manner whereby the D-rings
G
will engage the gates; the gates on a spreader must always be facing away from the D-rings during
work positioning.
4.3 Compatibility Of Components:
Equipment is designed for use with approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or
replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of
