l
PFLs shall not be altered or added to. No unauthorized repairs, modifications,
alterations and/or additions are permitted.
l
RESCUE AND EVACUATION: the user must have a rescue plan and the
means at hand to implement it. The plan must take into account the equipment
and specific training necessary to affect prompt rescue under all foreseeable
conditions. It is recommended to provide means for user evacuation without
assistance of others. This will usually reduce the time to get to a safe place
and reduce or prevent the risk to rescuers.
l
DO NOT rely on feel or sound to verify proper connector engagement. Ensure
the connector is closed before use.
l
Additional lanyard connectors shall not be added, as this would serve to
lengthen the lifeline and increase free fall.
l
Unsuitable for use on unstable surfaces, fine grain materials or particulate
surfaces such as sand or coal, as insufficient speed may prevent lock-on in
the event of a fall (possible engulfment hazard).
l
DO NOT use for horizontal (leading edge) applications. If the PFL web risks
coming into contact with an edge during use or a fall, a leading edge product
must be used. Failure to follow this warning could result in the webbing
breaking in the event of a fall.
l
PFLs shall not come into contact with hot surfaces (such as hot pipes),
become entangled with moving machinery, or come into contact with electrical
hazards (such as high voltage power lines).
l
PFLs shall be protected from fire, acids, caustic solutions, or temperatures
outside the range -40°F to 130°F (-40°C to 54°C).
l
DO NOT leave the PFL installed in environments which could cause damage
or deterioration to the product. Refer to the care details in Section 7 Cleaning
and Storage and inspection details in Section 8 Pre-Use Checks and Periodic
Examinations.
l
Instructions shall be retained and provided to all users of PFLs in the language
of the destination country, even when resold.
l
DO NOT exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as specified by governing
standards or subsystem components.
l
Dual-connections shall only be made for the purposes of 100% tie-off
transitions, if a dual connection is made for any other purpose, anchorages of
different elevations must be utilized.
