User's Instructions

anchor point as illustrated in Figure 2. Failure to connect in accordance with instructions may result in damage or failure of
the device.
• Ensure both V-TEC io1s connectors are compatible with the attachments to which they are connected (to prevent roll-out),
and are fully closed and locked before use. See Table 1 for system requirements.
• Ensure the V-TEC PFL is attached to a compatible anchor – flexible anchors, such as anchor lines or cantilever structures
can affect the ability of the V-TEC PFL to lock-on in the case of a fall. For further clarification, contact MSA .
• In use, the V-TEC io1 lifeline will extract and retract without hesitation. Do not allow the lifeline to pass through legs or
under arms, or wrap around structure. If the lifeline does not retract in use, fully extract the lifeline and slowly allow it to
retract. If the lifeline continues to hesitate in retraction, contact MSA .
• When not in use, store with the lifeline fully retracted as prolonged periods of full extraction may weaken the retraction
spring. If the lifeline is released it will retract at high speed potentially damaging internal parts, causing kinks in the lifeline
and/or deploying the load indicator.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
