Before using this equipment, record the product identification information from the ID label in the ‘Inspection and Maintenance Log’ at the back of this manual. Table 1 – Product Specifications System Specifications: Anchorage: Anchorage structure requirements vary with the system application and whether it is a certified anchorage or non-certified anchorage.
PRODUCT APPLICATION PURPOSE: 3M Self-Retracting Devices (SRDs) are designed for use as a connecting subsystem in a Fall Protection system. Once anchored, the lifeline extends and retracts automatically as the worker moves. If a fall occurs, a sensing mechanism activates the device and arrests the fall. For more information on system applications, refer to the “Product Overview”...

MAKING CONNECTIONS: All connections must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. See Figure 4 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not attach snap hooks and carabiners: To a D-Ring to which another connector is attached. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate. Large-throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard- size D-Rings or other connecting elements, unless the snap hook has a gate strength of 16 kN (3,600 lbf) or greater.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW: Installing this product requires effective planning and knowledge of fall clearance requirements. In the event of a fall, there must be enough fall clearance present to safely arrest the user. PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety before, during, and after a fall.

FALL CLEARANCE CHARTS Required Fall Clearance has been provided within the charts below. To determine Required Fall Clearance: 1. Select the clearance chart that matches your product type and includes a capacity fitting your combined weight. 2. Determine the Anchorage Height (A) of your subsystem. Anchorage Height is measured from the top of the working platform to the bottom of your anchorage connection point.

CONNECTING TO ANCHORAGE: Figure 7 illustrates typical SRD anchorage connections. The Anchorage (A) should be directly overhead to minimize free fall and swing fall hazards (see Section 3.3.B). Select an anchorage capable of sustaining the static loads defined in Table 1. Depending on system and product configuration, the user may secure the Top Connector (B) of the SRD directly to the anchorage structure or to an anchorage connector or anchorage connection point between.
