Installation
and
Use
1.
Select
the
appropriate
FallTech
Web
SRL
based
on
the
work
conditions
and
distance
needed
of
unhindered
vertical
travel.
Be
sure
not
to
operate
with
the
cable
at
full
extension.
FallTech
recommends
operating
at
with
a
maximum
of
90%
of
the
cable
extended
to
ensure
proper
deceleration
in
the
event
of
a
fall.
2.
Read,
understand
and
comply
with
manufacturer’s
instructions
for
each
component
of
your
Personal
Fall
Arrest
System
(Full
‐
Body
Harness,
Anchorage
Connectors,
etc.).
Be
sure
to
choose
components
that
are
compatible
with
this
SRL.
If
you
have
questions
about
product
or
component
compatibility,
be
sure
to
contact
FallTech
for
additional
instructions.
3.
Calculate
possible
swing
fall
hazards,
total
fall
distance,
and
required
clearance
distance.
If
you
have
a
swing
‐
fall
hazard
or
do
not
have
the
required
clearance
distance,
STOP
and
reevaluate
your
application
and
system.
Your
work
location
should
never
exceed
an
angle
of
15
degrees
in
any
direction
in
relation
to
your
SRL’s
anchorage
location.
4.
Attach
the
SRL
by
connecting
a
double
‐
locking
carabiner
to
top
end
of
the
unit
(some
FallTech
Web
SRL’s
come
with
this
carabiner
included).
Ensure
that
the
carabiner
is
properly
dimensioned
to
join
the
SRL
to
the
anchorage
connector
or
bracket.
If
either
the
SRL
or
the
anchorage
interferes
with
the
operation
of
the
carabiner
gate,
use
a
larger
carabiner.
Hang
the
unit
from
an
approved
anchorage
capable
of
supporting
a
minimum
of
5,000
lbs.
(or
3,600
lbs
with
the
certification
of
a
qualified
person).
This
should
be
done
without
exposing
anyone
to
a
fall
hazard.
The
anchorage
should
be
at
a
minimum
height
so
that
the
attachment
connector
of
the
SRL
is
even
with,
or
above,
the
back
D
‐
ring
of
your
full
body
harness.
Ensure
that
the
connector
gate
is
closed
and
locked
once
the
SRL
has
been
mounted
to
the
anchorage.
5.
If
the
SRL
is
to
be
remotely
mounted,
attach
a
tagline
to
the
end
of
the
lifeline.
This
tagline
allows
access
to
the
lifeline
of
a
remotely
mounted
FallTech
SRL
and
allows
the
lifeline
to
be
retracted
completely
back
into
the
housing
in
a
controlled
manner
without
hazardous
“Free
Wheeling”.
6.
Detach
the
tagline
to
avoid
tangling.
Do
not
leave
the
tagline
attached
to
the
SRL
while
you
are
using
it.
