3.1: General Guidelines

When properly installed and utilized, this FallTech Web SRL will
provide safety and mobility for a single user. As the user moves, the
SRL will pay out and retract automatically. In the event of a fall, a
13
centrifugal brake will arrest the fall in a very short distance while greatly
reducing the forces associated with the arrest.
Before using this product, the user should be trained in the use of fall
arrest products and should have completed a minimum course of
instruction (4-8 hours) for Authorized Person Training as outlined in ANSI
Z359.2-2007. The user must also read and be familiar with all of the
material contained in this instruction manual as well as all labels and
warnings affixed to the FallTech Web SRL. If you have any questions
regarding the use or operation of this product, please contact FallTech, a
competent person, or your immediate supervisor before using.
This product must be inspected before each use. For details on
proper inspection procedures, please refer to section 8 of this manual.
Should this product fail to pass inspection, it must be immediately
removed from service and replaced.
This FallTech Web SRL is intended to be used as part of a Personal
Fall Arrest System and will comprise the Connecting Device/Deceleration
Device elements of your PFAS (see section 2.3 and 2.4 of this manual
for clarification of these terms). This product should be attached to your
anchorage connector using a properly dimensioned connector (such as
the included carabiner).
Your anchorage should be overhead, or rigged in a manner such
that Free-Fall is restricted to no more than 2' (2 feet). This product is not
designed to be used in applications where Free-Fall may exceed 2'. Be
sure to review the Clear-Fall diagram and worksheet in section 2.9 of this
manual.
