DuraTech® Max 9' Web Single/Twin Self Retracting Device
This manual is intended to meet the Manufacturer's Instructions as required by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) Z359 and should be used as part of an employee training program as required by the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
WARNING
This product is part of a personal fall arrest, restraint, work positioning, suspension, or rescue system. A Personal Fall
Arrest System (PFAS) is typically composed of an anchorage and a Full Body Harness (FBH), with a connecting device,
i.e., a Shock Absorbing Lanyard (SAL), or a Self-Retracting Device (SRD), attached to the dorsal D-ring of the FBH.
These instructions must be provided to the worker of this equipment. The worker must read and understand the
manufacturer's instructions for each component or part of the complete system. Manufacturer's instructions must be
followed for proper use, care, and maintenance of this product. These instructions must be retained and be kept
available for the worker's reference at all times. Alterations or misuse of this product, or failure to follow instructions,
may result in serious injury or death.
A Fall Protection Plan must be on file and available for review by all workers. It is the responsibility of the worker and
the purchaser of this equipment to assure that workers 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 fitness to safely absorb the shock of a fall event. Age and fitness
seriously affect a worker's ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use this equipment.
ANSI limits the weight of fall protection equipment users to a maximum of 310 lbs. The Self Retracting Device discussed
in this manual is rated for a maximum of 425 lbs. 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 addition, the onset of suspension trauma after a fall
even may be accelerated for heavy users.
NOTE: For more information consult ANSI Z359

  • Page 9 El usuario del equipo descrito en este manual debe leer y entender el manual completo antes de comenzar a trabajar. Para los efectos de este manual, el SRD máximo doble/individual DuraTech® de FallTech® con correa de 9 pies (2,7 m) se puede denominar como el SRD máximo de 9 pies (2,7 m), el SRD, el equipo, el dispositivo, el producto o la unidad.
  • Page 10 Los conectores deben ser compatibles en tamaño, forma y resistencia. Los mosquetones y ganchos de cierre y bloqueo automático son requeridos por ANSI Z359.12 y la OSHA. FallTech ofrece una amplia variedad de conectores para usar con el SRD de 9 pies (2,7 m).
  • Page 11 4. INSTALACIÓN Y USO ADVERTENCIA No altere ni utilice este equipo de manera indebida e intencional. Consulte a FallTech cuando utiliza este equipo en combinación con componentes o subsistemas distintos a los descritos en este manual. No conecte ganchos de refuerzo, mosquetones grandes o ganchos de cierre instantáneo grandes a los anillos en "D" dorsales del FBH, ya que esto puede causar una condición de vuelco y/o la desconexión involuntaria.
  • Page 12 4.2 Anclaje: Seleccione un punto de anclaje adecuado. Consulte el párrafo 3.6. En adición a los requisitos de resistencia y carga, considere la altura del anclaje, la distancia entre el anclaje y el anillo en "D" dorsal del FBH del usuario, la distancia entre el anclaje y la superficie para trabajar/caminar, y la distancia entre la superficie para trabajar/caminar y cualquier obstrucción por debajo de ella, incluyendo el nivel inferior o el piso.
  • Page 13 ADVERTENCIA Una zona de trabajo ampliada combinada con un SRD utilizado en una condición que no esté por encima del nivel de la cabeza (por debajo del anillo en "D") es extremadamente peligrosa. NO conecte a un anclaje que esté a más de 5 pies (1,5 m) por debajo del nivel del anillo en "D" del FBH. 4.5 Instalación y uso del SRD: Utilice los conectores compatibles para la conexión con el anclaje y asegúrese de que no pueda ocurrir una desconexión involuntaria.
  • Page 14 EA. Las costuras rotas en el pliegue junto con la expansión o ampliación del amortiguador es una indicación de que ha ocurrido un evento de caída. Si tiene alguna pregunta, póngase en contacto con FallTech en info@falltech.com.
