internal parts. If the SRL is positioned high above the users head, the use of
a tag line/second line is acceptable to allow the SRL to fully retract. Tag lines/
second lines must be removed from the device before use.
Inspection instructions: Regular and periodic examinations of the SRL are
required to ensure the safety of the user, which is dependent on the continued
efficiency and durability of the SRL.

1 Inspect the SRL to see if the visual load indicator has deployed,
this will determine if a fall has occurred. Cable SRLs incorporate a constant
force energy absorbing coil designed to deploy in the event of a fall. This
will result in the coil protruding from the top of the SRL
is visible on the absorber coil then loading has occurred. Webbing SRLs
have a load indicator incorporated in to the webbing lifeline. Deployment is
indicated by a red warning symbol being displayed on the lifeline
2 Inspect to ensure all labels are present and fully legible.
3 Inspect connecting hooks or karabiners for working condition and signs of
damage or corrosion.
4 Visually inspect the entire unit for signs of corrosion, damage or distortion.
Ensure all fastenings are present and secure. The swivel eye on webbing
models must turn freely, the spiral pin must be
present and securely fixed, and the fastening bolt
must be flush with eyelet surface.
5 Fully extract the lifeline. As the lifeline retracts
it must do so without hesitation (no slack line
should occur). During extraction and retraction
ensure that a clicking sound can be heard
which indicates that the locking mechanism is
functioning correctly J .
6 Pull the lifeline sharply making sure that this
causes the device to lock up.
7 Inspect lifeline. If the lifeline has any cuts,
broken strands, kinks, bird-caging, welding
spatter, burns, abraded areas or shows signs
of excessive soiling, corrosion or UV
degradation it must be replaced
WARNING! If the SRL has been subjected to loading, or you are in any
doubt concerning the safety or condition of the device, it must be
removed from service immediately and recertified by an authorised
person. It may not be used again until confirmed in writing by a
competent person that it is safe to do so.
A periodic examination of the device should be completed by an authorised
person other than the user at least every 12 months. Local legislation or
environmental conditions (corrosive or chemical environments) may dictate
more frequent recertification intervals.
NOTE: It is mandatory that a full service of this product be completed within
2 years of manufacture and annually thereafter.
The lifeline within webbing models when subjected to prolonged periods
outside may deteriorate. UV rays can cause the colour of the lifeline to fade
and may reduce its strength. If severe discoloration is visible the lifeline must
be replaced by an authorised person.
The life of the product can be affected by environmental conditions. If, during
periodic inspection by a competent person, the product is deemed unsafe
it should be removed from service. The webbing within Latchways SRLs
is subject to a maximum working life of 5 years provided that the SRL has
been correctly stored, maintained and subjected to regular inspections by an
authorized person. If the webbing fails inspection, it must be replaced by an
authorised person.

NOTE: Authorised person means a person who is trained and approved
by Latchways in identifying hazards or dangerous conditions of the self
retracting lifeline.
It is the responsibility of the site safety officer or the user to maintain a record
of each periodic inspection in the recertification log which can be found at the
front of this manual.
Maintenance, Storage and Transportation: If required, clean the SRL
exterior, lifeline and labels (to maintain legibility) with warm water (40°C) and
non biological detergent then rinse. An excessive build-up of dirt or paint etc.
on the lifeline may compromise the retraction. If the SRL becomes wet, either
from being in use or from cleaning, position the SRL such that any excess
water can drain out and leave to dry naturally away from direct heat. The full
body harness and any other system components should be cleaned and stored
according to manufacturer's instructions.
Store the SRL in a cool, dry, clean environment. Ensure SRL is away from dust,
oil and direct sunlight. Inspect the SRL after long periods of storage.
During transportation the device must be protected to prevent damage
or contamination.
