1.0 APPLICATIONS PURPOSE: Capital Safety Self Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) are designed to be a component in a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Figure 1 illustrates SRLs covered by this instruction manual and their typical applications. They may be used in most situations where a combination of worker mobility and fall protection is required (i.e.

legs. Never clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut. Avoid slack line. Do not lengthen SRL by connecting a lanyard or similar component without consulting Capital Safety. FALL CLEARANCE: Figure 3A illustrates Fall Clearance requirements. Ensure adequate clearance exists in the fall path to prevent striking an object during a fall.

3.0 INSTALLATION 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. Consider all requirements and limitations defined in Section 2. IMPORTANT: In most applications, the Nano-Lok SRL can be connected to the anchorage or the harness Dorsal location.

HARNESS MOUNTING: Some Nano-Lok SRL models include a Single Leg or Twin SRL Harness Interface for mounting the SRL(s) on a Full Body Harness just below the Dorsal D-Ring (see Figure 8 and Figure 9): • Single SRL Harness Interface: Where worker mobility is critical, a Single SRL Harness Interface can be used to mount the Nano-Lok SRL on the back of a Full Body Harness just below the Dorsal D-Ring (see Figure 8).
Page 9
• Twin SRL Harness Interface: In climbing applications where 100% tie-off is required, the Twin SRL Harness Interface can be used to mount two Nano-Lok SRLs side-by-side on the back of a Full Body Harness just below the Dorsal D-Ring (see Figure 9). To mount two Nano-Lok SRLs on a Full Body Harness with the Twin SRL Harness Interface: 1.

Figure 11 – 100% Tie-Off Figure 12 – Incorrect Attachment AERIAL WORK PLATFORMS: Use of the Nano-Lok SRL on aerial work platforms is permissible, provided the following criteria are met: 1. Nano-Lok SRLs generally will not restrain workers from falling out of aerial work platforms or elevated working surfaces.
PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of Nano-Lok SRLs is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the SRL passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service. DISPOSAL: Dispose of the Nano-Lok SRL if it has been subjected to fall force, or an inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition.

Table 1 – Inspection Checklist Component: Inspection: Pass Fail Inspect for loose fasteners and bent or damaged parts. (Figure 14) Inspect the Housing (A) for distortion, cracks, or other damage. Inspect the Swivel (B) and Swivel Eye (C) or Integral Connector (D) for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
APPENDIX A - TWIN SRL FIXED D-RING HARNESS INTERFACE Older ExoFit Full Body Harnesses with a Fixed D-Ring require a special Twin SRL Harness Interface to mount two Nano-Lok SRLs on the back of the harness just below the Dorsal D-Ring. Specific Twin Leg Nano-Lok SRL models are available for installation on ExoFit Fixed D-Ring harnesses (see Figure 20).
