Page 2: Safety Information And Precautions
Use of this equipment for any other purpose, such as material handling, sports activities, or other action not described in these User Instructions is not approved by Safewaze. Use of this equipment in a manner outside the scope of those covered within this Manual can result in serious injury or death. - Page 3 SRL units extend and retract freely with normal movement. If a fall occurs the system locks automatically, arresting the fall, and keeps the worker from falling further. Tension should always be maintained on the lifeline during retraction of cable or web back into the housing. Never allow the lifeline to “freewheel” back into the housing in an uncontrolled manner.

- Page 4 1.1 PURPOSE Safewaze Northstar Classic SRLs are designed for use as a component of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). The purpose is to prevent the fall or limit the potential fall arrest forces as much as possible. A variety of connection and configuration options are available to suit any users preference or jobsite requirements.

Page 5: Inspection Frequency
During normal operations, the lifeline constituent of the SRL will extend and retract freely with no slack or hesitation as the worker moves at normal speeds. In the event of a fall, Safewaze SRLs are equipped with a speed sensing braking system. The braking system will activate, stopping the fall, and absorbing much of the energy created by the fall. -
Page 6: Making Connections
Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. (See Figure 2) for examples of inappropriate connections. -
Page 7: Body Support
Only a Full Body Harness (FBH) may be used with this equipment. The Full Body Harness must connect to the SRL via the dorsal D-ring. Safewaze SRLs are not rated for use with a body belt. Use of Safewaze SRLs with a body belt may result in injury. Figure 3 illustrates typical connection of Safewaze SRLs to the Dorsal D-ring of the Full Body Harness. - Page 8 < 90˚ LE SRL COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS HOUSING High-strength polymer housing DRUM Aluminum LIFELINE 3/16” Galvanized Steel Cable SWIVEL Aluminum FASTENERS Aluminum / Steel / Stainless Steel LOCKING PAWLS Steel MAIN SHAFT Steel SPRINGS Carbon Steel Page 8 Copyright Safewaze 2022...
