Maintenance, Service, And Storage - 3M PROTECTA 3100418 Manual

6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE

6.1 CLEANING: Cleaning procedures for the Self-Retracting Device are as follows:
• Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRD so excess water can
drain out. Clean labels as required.
• Clean lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An
excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc. may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a
potential free fall hazard. Replace lifeline if excessive buildup is present.
6.2 SERVICE AND REPAIR: Rebel SRLs are not repairable. If the SRL has been subjected to fall force or inspection reveals
an unsafe or defective condition, remove the Self-Retracting Device from service immediately, mark as "UNUSABLE", and
dispose of as instructed in "Disposal" below.
6.3 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: Store and transport Self-Retracting Device in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct
sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL after any period of extended storage.
6.4 DISPOSAL: Dispose of the SRD if it has been subjected to fall arrest forces or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective
condition. Before disposing of the SRL, cut the lifeline in half or otherwise disable the SRL to eliminate the possibility of
inadvertent reuse.
