Please read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to the use of this Connected Order Picker
Self-Retracting Device System. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
These instructions must be provided to the user of this equipment. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Intended Use:
The Connected Order Picker Self-Retracting Device System is intended for use as part of a complete personal fall protection system. The Connected
Order Picker Self-Retracting Device System is intended to provide real-time feedback of connection status during standard work activity. The Connected
Order Picker Self-Retracting Device System is intended for use in industrial and commercial applications where connection will be completed on
horizontal metal anchors.
Use in any other application including, but not limited to, material handling, recreational or sports related activities, or other activities not described in
the User Instructions, is not approved by 3M and could result in serious injury or death.
This device is only to be used by trained users in workplace applications.

WARNING
The Connected Order Picker Self-Retracting Device System is part of a personal fall protection system. It is expected that all users be fully trained in the
safe installation and operation of their personal fall protection system. Misuse of this device could result in serious injury or death. For proper
selection, operation, installation, maintenance, and service, refer to these User Instructions and all manufacturer recommendations, see your supervisor,
or contact 3M Technical Services.
•
To reduce the risks associated with fire and explosion which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death:
-
Device is not Intrinsically Safe. Do not use this device in flammable or explosive environments.
•
To reduce the risks associated with working with Connected Order Picker Self-Retracting Device Systems which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury or death:
-
Inspect the system before each use and after any fall event, in accordance with the procedures defined in these User Instructions.
-
If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, immediately remove the system from service and destroy or repair the system according
to these User Instructions.
-
Any device that has been subject to fall arrest or impact force must be immediately removed from service and labeled "UNUSABLE". Refer to
the User Instructions or contact 3M Fall Protection.
-
Ensure all connecting subsystems (e.g. lanyards) are kept free from all hazards including, but not limited to, entanglement with other workers,
yourself, moving machinery, or other surrounding objects.
-
Never allow slack in the lifeline. Do not tie or knot the lifeline.
-
Never rely on electronic indicators (e.g. LED or audio signals) for proof of physical connection to your fall protection equipment. Always follow
appropriate safety procedures and practices.
-
Avoid sudden or quick movements during normal work operation.
-
Never remove the pre-attached lanyards or self-retracting devices from the carabiner.
-
Ensure the device is rigged appropriately for the intended use.
-
Ensure that fall protection systems/subsystems assembled from components made by different manufacturers are compatible and meet the
requirements of applicable standards, including the ANSI Z359 or other applicable fall protection codes, standards, or requirements. Always
consult a Competent or Qualified Person before using these systems.
•
To reduce the risks associated with working at height which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death:
-
Ensure your health and physical condition allow you to safely withstand all of the forces associated with working at height. Consult with your
doctor if you have any questions regarding your ability to use this equipment.
-
Never exceed allowable capacity of your fall protection equipment.
-
Never exceed maximum free fall distance of your fall protection equipment.
-
Do not use any fall protection equipment that fails pre-use or other scheduled inspections, or if you have concerns about the use or suitability
of the equipment for your application. Contact 3M Technical Services with any questions.
-
Some subsystem and component combinations may interfere with the operation of this equipment. Only use compatible connections. Consult
3M prior to using this equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in the User Instructions.
-
Use extra precautions when working around moving machinery (e.g. top drive of oil rigs), electrical hazards, extreme temperatures, chemical
hazards, explosive or toxic gases, sharp edges, or below overhead materials that could fall onto you or your fall protection equipment.
-
Use Arc Flash or Hot Works devices when working in high heat environments.
-
Avoid surfaces and objects that can damage the user or equipment.
-
Ensure there is adequate fall clearance when working at height.
-
Never modify or alter your fall protection equipment. Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M may make repairs to the equipment.
-
Prior to use of fall protection equipment, ensure a rescue plan is in place which allows for prompt rescue if a fall incident occurs.
-
If a fall incident occurs, immediately seek medical attention for the fallen worker.
-
Do not use a body belt for fall arrest applications. Use only a Full Body Harness.
-
Minimize swing falls by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
-
If training with this device, a secondary fall protection system must be utilized in a manner that does not expose the trainee to an unintended
fall hazard.
-
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when installing, using, or inspecting the device/system.
