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.
4.5 OPERATION: Prior to use, inspect the SRL as described in section 5.0. Figure 7 shows system connections for typical
Rebel SRL applications. Connect the Rebel SRL carabiner to a suitable anchorage. Connect the Hook or Carabiner
on the lifeline end to the Dorsal D-Ring on the Full Body Harness. Ensure connections are compatible in size, shape,
and strength. Ensure hooks are fully closed and locked. Once attached, the worker is free to move about within the
recommended working area at normal speeds. If a fall occurs the SRL will lock and arrest the fall. Upon rescue, remove
the SRL from use. When working with an SRL, always allow the lifeline to recoil back into the device under control.
WarnInG: Do not tie or knot the lifeline. Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. Inspect the lifeline
frequently for cuts, fraying, burns, or signs of chemical damage. Dirt, contaminants, and water can lower dielectric
properties of the lifeline. Use caution near power lines.
4.6 HORIZONTAL SYSTEMS: In applications where the Rebel SRL is used in conjunction with a horizontal system (i.e.
Horizontal Lifeline, Horizontal I-Beams Trolley), the horizontal systems must be designed and installed under the
supervision of a qualied engineer. SRL and horizontal system components must be compatible. Consult the horizontal
system equipment manufacturer’s instructions for details.

5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Rebel SRL must be inspected at the intervals dened in “Section 2.5 - Inspection
Frequency”. Inspection procedures are described in the “Inspection Checklist” (Table 2).
5.2 UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the SRL from
service, mark “UNUSABLE” and send to an authorized service center for repair.
5.3 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of Rebel SRLs is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the SRL
passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
