b. rated Capacity
Capacity: 310 lbs. This equipment is designed for use by persons
with a combined weight (person, clothing, tools, etc.) of no more
than 310 lbs. NOTE: No more than one personal protective system
may be attached at one time.
c. limitations
The following application limitations must be recognized and
considered before using this product:
1. FREE FALL: Restraint systems must be rigged such that there
is no possible vertical free fall. Personal fall arrest systems must
be rigged in such a way to limit the free fall to six feet (ANSI
Z359.1). See associated connecting subsystem manufacturer's
instructions for further information.
2. FALL CLEARANCE: Make certain that enough clearance exists
in your fall path to prevent striking an object. The amount of
clearance required is dependent upon the type of connecting
subsystem used (lanyard, lifeline), the anchorage location, and
the amount of stretch in the lifeline.
3. CORROSION: Do not leave this equipment for long periods in
environments where corrosion of metal parts could take place as
a result of vapors from organic materials. Sewage and fertilizer
plants, for example, have high concentrations of ammonia. Use
near seawater or other corrosive environments may require more
frequent inspections or servicing to ensure corrosion damage is
not affecting the performance of the product.
4. CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Solutions containing acids, alkali, or
other caustic chemicals, especially at elevated temperatures,
may cause damage to this equipment. When working with
such chemicals, frequent inspection of this equipment must be
performed. Consult Werner Co. if doubt exists concerning using
this equipment around chemical hazards.
5. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Due to the possibility of electric current
lowing through this equipment or connecting components, use
extreme caution when working near high voltage power lines.
6. COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY: The carabiners addressed by
these instructions are intended for use with Werner Co. approved
subsystems only. Consult Werner Co. if you have questions
about compatibility. See section I b.
