1.0 Warnings and Important Informaon
This product is part of a personal fall arrest, restraint, work posioning, suspension, or rescue system. A Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) is
typically composed of an anchorage and a Full Body Harness (FBH), with a connecng device, i.e., a Shock Absorbing Lanyard (SAL), or a
Self-Retracng Lanyard (SRL), aached to the dorsal D-ring of the FBH.
These instrucons must be provided to the worker using this equipment. The worker must read and understand the manufacturer’s instrucons for
each component or part of the complete system. Manufacturer’s instrucons must be followed for proper use, care, and maintenance of this
product. These instrucons must be retained and be kept available for the worker’s reference at all mes. Alteraons or misuse of this product, or
failure to follow instrucons, may result in serious injury or death.
A Fall Protecon Plan must be on le and available for review by all workers. It is the responsibility of the worker and the purchaser of this
equipment to assure that users of this equipment are properly trained in its use, maintenance, and storage. Training must be repeated at regular
intervals. Training must not subject the trainee to fall hazards.
Consult a doctor if there is reason to doubt your tness to safely absorb the shock of a fall event. Age and tness seriously aect a worker’s ability
to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use this equipment.
ANSI limits the weight of fall protecon equipment users to a maximum of 310 lbs. Products in this manual may have a rated capacity exceeding
ANSI capacity limits. Heavy users experience more risk of serious injury or death due to falls because of increased fall arrest forces placed on the
user’s body. In addion, the onset of suspension trauma aer a fall event may be accelerated for heavy users.
The user of the equipment discussed in this manual must read and understand the enre manual before beginning work.
NOTE: For more informaon consult the ANSI Z359 body of standards.
• Avoid moving machinery, thermal, electrical, and/or chemical hazards as contact may cause serious injury or death.
• Avoid swing falls.
• Follow the weight restricons and recommendaons in this manual.
• Remove from service any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces.
• Remove from service any equipment that fails inspecon.
• Do not alter or intenonally misuse this equipment.
• Consult FallTech when using this equipment in combinaon with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual.
• Do not connect rebar hooks, large carabiners, or large snap hooks to the FBH dorsal D-rings as this may cause a roll-out condion and/or
unintenonal disengagement.
• Avoid sharp and/or abrasive surfaces and edges.
• Use cauon when performing arc welding. Arc ash from arc welding operaons, including accidental arcs from electrical equipment, can
damage equipment and are potenally fatal.
• Examine the work area. Be aware of the surroundings and workplace hazards that may impact safety, security, and the funconing of fall arrest
systems and components.
• Hazards may include, but are not limited to, cable or debris tripping hazards, equipment failures, personnel mistakes, or moving equipment
such as carts, barrows, fork lis, cranes, or dollies. Do not allow materials, tools, or equipment in transit to contact any part of the fall arrest
system.
• Do not work under suspended loads.
