;
Rebel SRD-Rs do not incorporate an Overload Clutch to limit the force exerted on the drive components and
attached person. Avoid line slack while in Retrieval mode. Also, monitor the individual during retrieval to ensure they
are not subjected to excessive force from continued lifting after entanglement on an obstruction.
;
A minimum load of 75 lbs (33.9 kg) is required to lower or pay out the Lifeline. A force of 30 lbs (0.13 kN) is
required to operate the Retrieval system when loaded to capacity.
;
Stop cranking when the Lifeline is fully extended or retracted. Continued cranking can damage components.
4.7
RETRIEVAL DISENGAGEMENT: To disengage Retrieval mode:
;
When Retrieval mode is disengaged, any extended Lifeline will retract into the SRD. To avoid possible injury, retract
the Lifeline prior to disengagement or hold onto the Lifeline.
1.
Remove any load from the Lifeline.
2.
Pull and hold the Shift Knob in the unlocked position.
3.
Pull the Crank Arm out to disengage and then release the Shift Knob.
4.
Pull out and rotate the Retrieval Handle 180° toward the SRD Body to stowed position.
5.0 INSPECTION
;
After equipment has been removed from service, it may not be returned to service until a Competent Person confirms in
writing that it is acceptable to do so.
5.1
INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The product shall be inspected by the user before each use and, additionally, by a
Competent Person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year. A higher frequency of equipment use
and harsher conditions may require increasing the frequency of Competent Person inspections. The frequency of these
inspections should be determined by the Competent Person per the specific conditions of the worksite.
5.2
INSPECTION PROCEDURES: Inspect this product per the procedures listed in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log".
Documentation of each inspection should be maintained by the owner of this equipment. An inspection and maintenance
log should be placed near the product or be otherwise easily accessible to users. It is recommended that the product is
marked with the date of next or last inspection.
5.3
DEFECTS: If the product cannot be returned to service because of an existing defect or unsafe condition, then the
product must be either destroyed or sent to 3M or a 3M-authorized service center for repair.
5.4
PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the product is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the
product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE
;
Equipment that is in need of maintenance or scheduled for maintenance should be tagged "DO NOT USE". These
equipment tags should not be removed until maintenance is performed.
6.1
CLEANING: Cleaning procedures for the Self-Retracting Device are as follows:
•
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRD using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRD so excess water can
drain out. Clean labels as required.
•
Clean lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An
excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc. may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a
potential free fall hazard. Replace lifeline if excessive buildup is present.
6.2
SERVICE: Additional maintenance and servicing procedures must be completed by an authorized service center. Do not
attempt to disassemble the SRD or lubricate any parts.
6.3
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: Store and transport Self-Retracting Device in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct
sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRD after any period of extended storage.
7.0 LABELS
Figure 19 illustrates labels on the the Rebel Self-Retracting Devices and their locations. All labels must be present on the SRD.
Labels must be replaced if they are not fully legible.
