Maintenance, Service And Storage; Inspection - Falltech DuraTech C83709SB7 Manuel De L'utilisateur

DO NOT allow the lifelines to become tangled or twisted together as this may prevent them from retracting.
DO NOT allow any lifeline to pass under arms or between legs during use.
DO NOT clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut.
DO NOT lengthen the SRD by connecting a lifeline or similar component.
DO NOT allow the lifeline to freewheel back into the housing.
After a Fall: Remove from service immediately any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces, or exhibiting damage consistent with the
effects of fall arrest forces.
5.10 Rescue: Rescue applications require specialized equipment and is beyond the scope of this manual.

Maintenance, Service and Storage

6.1 Maintenance: Ensure the SRD is kept free of excess paint, grease, dirt, or other contaminants as this may cause to cable or retracting
mechanism to malfunction. Ensure no debris enters the housing through the cable access port. Do not allow water other corrosion
causing elements to enter the housing. After cleaning, pull the lifeline all the way out, allow the unit to air dry, then retract the lifeline into
the unit. Do not allow the lifeline to freewheel back into the housing. Clean labels as required.
Housing: Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL with water and a mild detergent. Position the SRL so water can drain out. Clean labels
as required.
DO NOT use heat to dry.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the SRD.
6.2 Service: Remove the unit from service if it has been subjected to fall arrest force. Tag the unit as "UNUSABLE" to prevent future use.
The SRD is not repairable.
6.3 Storage: Hang to store, out of direct sunlight. Ensure the lifeline is completely retracted into the housing. Avoid exposure to chemical
agents and vapors, airborne debris, and water ingress. Store units tagged as "UNUSABLE" in a clearly marked area to prevent inadvertent
use. Inspect any unit that has been stored for an extended time in accordance with the procedures detailed in Section 7.

Inspection

7.1 Pre-Use Inspection: Before each use, the SRD system should be inspected by the user for damage, wear and to ensure the Self
Retracting Device free cracks, loose bolts or rivets. Please review the inspection guidelines for inspection requirements.
Inspection
The cable lifeline should extract and retract completely and without faltering and should remain taut under tension without sagging.
Extract the cable lifeline several inches and apply a firm pull to confirm the SRD locks. The locking should be certain and without
skidding. Repeat this lockup at additional places along the lifeline length to confirm the SRD is operating correctly.
Examine the load indicator on the swiveling carabiner to be certain that it has not been loaded, impacted or activated. (see figure 6A
if needed)
Inspect the entire length of the constituent line up to the Green Maximum Working Length Visual
Indicator shown in Figure 12. Review the cable lifeline closely for broken strand wires, welding spatter burns, welding slag, birdcag-
ing, kinks and bent strands. Also examine for rust, dirt, paint, grease or oil. Check for damage caused by chemical corrup on or exces-
sive heat as evident with discoloration. See Figure 13 for examples. If any of these conditions exist, remove the SRD from service.
If during your line inspection defined above, you extract the line past the Green Indicator and ultimately expose a secondary Red
Indicator on the line, you must remove the SRD from service immediately. This Secondary Red Visual Indicator signals the SRD unit's
Reserve Line has been deployed or the SRD has experienced a fall event and is no longer in working order.
Check for any missing or loose screws or nuts and any deformed or damaged components.
Examine the external housing for cracks, breaks or warping.
Check the external Connector Eye and the Anchorage Carabiner for damage and deformation. The
Anchorage Carabiner Gate should twist open and snap shut easily and smoothly.
Examine the overall SRD unit for any indications of deterioration or damage.
All labels must be intact and totally readable (see Section 8)
