3.1 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 dened in Section 2.
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). Select a rigid anchorage point capable
of sustaining the static loads dened in Section 2.2.
Rebel SRLs must always be anchored at or
above the user’s Dorsal D-Ring.
Important: It is recommended that this
equipment be installed under the supervision
of a qualied person.

WarnInG: Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult Capital Safety when using this equipment in
combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual. Some subsystem and component
combinations may interfere with the operation of this equipment. Use caution when using this equipment around moving
machinery, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, sharp edges, or overhead materials that may fall onto the lifeline. Do not
loop the lifeline around small structural members . Failure to heed this warning may result in equipment malfunction, serious
injury, or death.
WarnInG: Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your tness to safely absorb the shock from a fall arrest. Age
and tness seriously affect a worker’s ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use self retracting
lifelines.
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Before each use of this fall protection equipment carefully inspect it to assure it is in good working
condition. Check for worn or damaged parts. Ensure all fasteners are present and secure. Check that the lifeline is
retracting properly by pulling out the line and allowing it to slowly retract. If there is any hesitation in retraction, remove
the SRL from service, mark “UNUSABLE”, and send to an authorized service center for repair. Inspect the lifeline for cuts,
frays, burns, crushing and corrosion. Check locking action by pulling sharply on the line. See Section 5 for inspection
details.
4.2 AFTER A FALL: Any equipment which has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall or exhibits damage consistent
with the effect of fall arrest forces as described in Section 5, must be removed from service immediately, marked
“UNUSABLE”, and sent to an authorized service center for repair.
4.3 BODY SUPPORT: A full body harness must be worn when using Rebel SRLs. For general fall protection use, connect to
the back (dorsal) D-ring. For situations such as ladder climbing, it may be useful to connect to the front of the harness
above the worker’s center of gravity. This is acceptable provided potential free fall is less than 2 ft. (61 cm) and footing
can be easily regained.
Important: Do not use a body belt for free fall applications. See OSHA 1926.502 for guidelines.
4 — Qualied Person: A person with a recognized degree or professional certicate and with extensive knowledge, training, and experience in the
fall protection and rescue eld who is capable of designing, analyzing, evaluating, and specifying fall protections and rescue systems to the
extent required by OSHA and other applicable standards.
