dependent upon passing pre-use checks and periodic examinations. Service life

WARNING!
l
PFLs shall not be altered or added to. No unauthorized repairs, modifications,
alterations and/or additions are permitted.
l
PFLs that have arrested a fall or are unable to pass an inspection shall be
tagged “UNUSABLE” and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
l
Due to the nature of some fall arrest events, it is possible for the load indicator
to not deploy. In the event that a PFL is subjected to fall arrest forces and the
energy absorber does not deploy, the PFL still must be removed from service
and marked as “UNUSABLE” until it has been destroyed.
l
If the energy absorber is deployed, immediately remove the PFL from service
and mark it as “UNUSABLE” until it has been destroyed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or
death.
