3.5 CONNECTING TO ANCHORAGE: Figure 6 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.
3.6 CONNECTING TO A HARNESS: Connection of the SRD to a harness will vary per the harness and which attachment
element is used. See Figure 7 for reference. To secure, connect the Bottom Connector (A) of the SRD to the Attachment
Element (B) of the full body harness. For more information as to which attachment elements may be used, see the
manufacturer instructions of your harness.
;
The "Product Overview" specifies for which Fall Protection applications your SRD model may be used. Ensure use of
your harness complies with these requirements. A full body harness is required for Fall Arrest applications.

4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Fall Protection system meet all criteria defined in these instructions.
Verify that a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the product per the 'User' inspection points defined in the "Inspection
and Maintenance Log". If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, or if there is any doubt about its condition
for safe use, remove the product from service immediately. Clearly tag the product "DO NOT USE". See Section 5 for more
information.
4.2 AFTER A FALL: If this equipment is subjected to fall arrest or impact force, remove it from service immediately. Clearly
tag it "DO NOT USE". See Section 5 for more information.
4.3 OPERATION: Before using an SRD, the worker will need to secure the SRD to an anchorage connection point and an
attachment element on their full body harness. Once secured, the worker may move within the established safe working
area at normal speeds. During use, always allow the SRD lifeline to recoil back into the device under control.
4.4 TAGLINES: Depending on the worksite and system configuration, the user may not always be able to reach the SRD at
its anchor point. In these situations, a tagline may be necessary. A tagline is a long piece of cord that loops through the
bottom connector of the SRD before looping back in on itself. When connected in this way, the user can raise or lower the
bottom connector of the SRD to their location by pulling on the tagline.
;
Ensure the free end of the tagline does not become entangled with other workers, equipment, or machinery. If
necessary, restrain the free end of the tagline.
4.5 USE WITH HORIZONTAL SYSTEMS: The SRDs covered in this instruction are compatible for use with horizontal
systems, such as Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) systems and horizontal rail systems. See the manufacturer instructions of your
horizontal system for more information on its compatibility with SRDs. SRDs may be used with a horizontal system only if
both products allow for such use.
;
Required Fall Clearance values presented in these instructions are based on use with a rigid, stationary
anchorage point. These values do not apply when the product is used with a Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) system. See the
manufacturer instructions of your HLL system for fall clearance charts specific to that system, or for additional factors
that must be accounted for before using the charts in these instructions.
