RETRIEVAL OPERATION:
Figure 10 illustrates operation of the Integral Rescue Hand Crank on the Ultra-Lok Retrieval
SRD-R. Do not attempt to operate Retrieval with the lifeline fully retracted. To activate Retrieval mode and use the Rescue
Hand Crank:
1. Loosen the Locking Thumb Screw to release the Crank Arm.
2.
Rotate the Retrieval Handle up from the SRD Body 90°.
3.
Pull and hold the Shift Knob in the unlocked position.
4. Push the Crank Arm in and release the Shift Knob to engage. If needed, rotate the Crank Arm clockwise to help
engage the gear.
5.
Raise and lower the Lifeline as illustrated in Figure 10:
A.
To Raise: Rotate the Crank Arm clockwise.
B. To Lower: Rotate the Crank Arm counterclockwise. After fall arrest; crank the Crank Arm clockwise slightly first
to release the Fall Arrest Brake, then crank the Crank Arm counterclockwise.
;
The Integral Rescue Hand Crank on 3-Way Emergency Retrieval SRD-R models is for rescue purposes only and
should not be used for work positioning or material lifting/lowering.
;
DBI-SALA SRD-Rs do not incorporate an Overload Clutch to limit the force exerted on the drive components and
attached person. Avoid line slack while in Retrieval mode. Also, monitor the individual during retrieval to ensure they
are not subjected to excessive force from continued lifting after entanglement on an obstruction.
;
A minimum load of 75 lbs (33.9 kg) is required to lower or pay out the Lifeline. A force of 30 lbs (0.13 kN) is
required to operate the Retrieval system when loaded to capacity.
;
Stop cranking when the Lifeline is fully extended or retracted. Continued cranking can damage components.
4.6
RETRIEVAL DISENGAGEMENT:
To disengage Retrieval mode:
;
When Retrieval mode is disengaged, any extended Lifeline will retract into the SRD. To avoid possible injury, retract
the Lifeline prior to disengagement or hold onto the Lifeline.
1. Remove any load from the Lifeline.
2. Pull and hold the Shift Knob in the unlocked position.
3.
Pull the Crank Arm out to disengage and then release the Shift Knob.
4. Pull out and rotate the Retrieval Handle down toward the SRD Body to stowed position.
5.0 Inspection
5.1
RFID TAG:
The Self-Retracting Device includes a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag (see Figure 11). The RFID
tag (A) can be used in conjunction with the handheld reading device and web based portal to simplify inspection and
inventory control and provide records for your fall protection equipment. For details, contact a 3M Customer Service
representative (see back cover). Follow the instructions provided with your handheld reader, or on the web portal, to
transfer your data to your web log.
5.2
INSPECTION FREQUENCY:
The Ultra-Lok Self-Retracting Device must be inspected at the intervals defined in
Section 2
(Inspection Frequency)
. Inspection procedures are described in the
“Inspection & Maintenance Log” (Table 3)
.
5.3
UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS:
If inspection reveals an unsafe, defective condition, remove the
Self-Retracting Device from service immediately, mark as “UNUSABLE”, and perform a Competent Person inspection to
determine service options.
5.4
PRODUCT LIFE:
The functional life of DBI-SALA Self-Retracting Devices is determined by work conditions and
maintenance. As long as the product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
6.0 Maintenance, Service, and Storage
6.1 CLEANING:
Cleaning procedures for the Self-Retracting Device are as follows:
•
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRD using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRD so excess water can
drain out. Clean labels as required.
•
Clean lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An
excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc., may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a
potential free fall hazard. Replace lifeline if excessive buildup is present.
6.2 SERVICE:
Additional service, determined from the Competent Person inspection, must be completed by an authorized
service center. Do not attempt to disassemble the SRD or lubricate any parts.
6.3
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:
Store and transport the SRD in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid
areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRD after any period of extended storage.
