WARNING: This product is part of a personal fall arrest, work positioning, or rescue system. The user must follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each component of the system. These instructions must be provided to the user of this equipment. The user must read and understand these instructions before using this equipment. Manufacturer’s instructions must be followed for proper use and maintenance of this equipment.
1.0 APPLICATIONS 1.1 PURPOSE: Capital Safety Self Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) are designed to be a component in a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Figure 1 illustrates SRLs covered by this instruction manual and their typical applications. They may be used in most situations where a combination of worker mobility and fall protection is required (i.e. inspection work, general construction, maintenance work, oil production, confined space work, etc.). 1.
Results of the Authorized Service or Competent Person inspection should be recorded in the “Inspection and Maintenance Log” at the back of these instructions (see Section 5). 2.6 Locking Speed: Situations which do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRL to lock if a fall occurs.
2.15 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact Capital Safety if you have any questions about compatibility. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN).
3.0 Installation 3.1 Figure 6 – Anchorage Connections Planning: Plan your fall protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements and limitations defined in Section 2. A 3.2 Anchorage: Figure 6 illustrates typical SRL anchorage connections. Select an anchorage location with minimal free fall and swing fall hazards (see Section 2).
4.4 Making Connections: Figure 7 illustrates harness and anchorage connections for Rebel SRL Fall Arrest Systems. When using a hook to make a connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur (see Figure 4). Do not use hooks or connectors that will not completely close over the attachment object. Do not use non-locking snap hooks. The anchorage must meet the anchorage strength requirements stated in section 2.3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with each system component. 4.
6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, and STORAGE 6.1 Cleaning: Cleaning procedures for the Rebel SRL are as follows: • Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRL so excess water can drain out. Clean labels as required. • Clean the Web Lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat. The lifeline should be dry before allowing it to retract into the housing. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc.
Table 2 – Inspection Checklist Component: Inspection: SRL (Figure 8) Inspect for loose fasteners and bent or damaged parts. Pass Fail Inspect the Housing (A) for distortion, cracks, or other damage. Inspect the Swivel (B) and Swivel Eye (C) and Carabiner (D) for distortion, cracks, or other damage. The Swivel should be attached securely to the SRL, but should pivot freely. The Swivel Eye or Integral Connector should rotate freely in the Swivel.
