ManSafe SRL user instructions
When not in use: 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
indicating eyelets/snap hooks. If the ManSafe SRL is positioned high above the Users head, the
use of a tag line is acceptable to allow the ManSafe SRL to fully retract and yet enable retrieval
of the connector. It is recommended for tag lines to be removed from the device before use.
Do not use an additional lanyard or similar component to lengthen the lifeline.
Do not allow the lifeline to pass through legs or under arms.
Do not use this product for ground level attachments or cable systems.
Do not use over an edge.
Do not allow the lifeline to be in contact with or rub against sharp edges.
Do not allow the lifeline to come into contact with moving machinery.
Webbing lifelines and UV rays: The lifeline may deteriorate when subjected to prolonged periods
outside. UV rays can cause the colour of the lifeline to fade and may reduce its strength. If severe
discolouration is visible, the lifeline shall be replaced by a Technician. The service life of a ManSafe
SRL webbing has been evaluated to be up to 10 years. The following factors such as (but not
limited to): environmental conditions (e.g. contact with chemicals, exposure to temperatures >60°C
(>140°F)), incorrect storage and frequency of use may reduce service life. If the webbing fails
examination, it must be replaced by a Technician.
Environmental conditions may effect life expectancy of a galvanised cable.
