Instructions For Use
Product Maintenance & Inspection
Fall Arrest equipment has a limited
ability to protect workers falling over
an edge. Working near edges user
should try to select and anchor that will
prevent them reaching an edge. Where
this is not possible the potential cutting
effect of the edge should be considered
on the lanyard.
Fall Arrest equipment is design to
operate in the vertical plane. Any
movement horizontally from the anchor
point will result in a potential swing
fall. Users should always select anchor
points that will limit the swing fall
potential. When the work requires
horizontal movements a Twin lanyard
should be used and progression
between anchor points should be made
to limit any potential swing fall.
Note any movement outside
±30Deg of the vertical plane can be
considered as a swing fall.
Always ensure that the swivels are
free to rotate during work and that
the lifelines do not become twisted
or tangled as this may inhibit the
retracting function of the device.
Avoid allowing the lanyard to pass
under the arms or between the legs
during use.
Avoid trailing the lanyard webbing over
edges, pipes and other obstructions
because this may inhibit the safe
function of the device.

INSPECTION
A guide to Pre-use checks is included
with these instructions.
When inspecting the DSL2 particular
attention should be paid to the
following:-
Webbing– Check for cuts, tears,
evidence of abrasion*
and scorch marks, burns
or signs of chemical
contamination.
Stitching– Look for broken
stitching, loose or worn
threads.
Hardware
& Casing – Inspect for signs of
damage/distortion
cracking/corrosion,
and correct function.
Labelling – Ensure label is present
and details are legible.
* Local abrasion as distinct from
general wear may be caused by the
passage of the webbing over sharp
edges or protrusions while under
tension and may cause serious loss of
strength. Slight damage to outer fi bres
and occasional yarn may be considered
harmless but serious reduction in width
or thickness of the webbing or serious
distortion to the weave pattern should
lead to rejection.
The product should be immediately
removed from service after being
subjected to any fall, or if in any doubt
about the product condition.
The fabric part may be cleaned if
required. The following procedure must
be adhered to:
Use hand hot water with a mild
detergent or disinfectant, then rinse
with clean water, and allow drying
naturally, out of direct sunlight with the
webbing part exposed. If you require
more information please contact
SpanSet UK Ltd.
All equipment should be stored and
transported in the following manner:-
• To prevent contact with sharp
objects that may damage the fi bres
of the webbing.
• Away from harmful substances
such as acids, alkalis, fuel, paints,
solvents that harm polyester and
nylon fi bres.
• Kept in a cool dry place free from
direct sunlight, to prevent
degradation of the fi bres from ultra
violet radiation.
