Warnings And Limitations - Honeywell Miller MightEvac Manual De Instrucciones Para El Usuario

The authorized person/user shall have
a rescue plan and the means at hand to
implement it when using this equipment.
Never use fall protection equipment for
purposes other than those for which it was
designed. Fall protection equipment should
never be used for towing or hoisting.
All synthetic material must be protected from
sources. The use of heat resistant materials
is recommended in these applications.
Environmental hazards should be considered
when selecting fall protection equipment.
Equipment must not be exposed to
environmental hazards and chemicals which
may produce a harmful effect. Use in highly
corrosive or caustic environments dictates
a more frequent inspection and servicing
program to ensure the integrity of the device
is maintained.

2.2 Warnings and Limitations

CAPACITY
For use by ONE person only in both
fall protection and rescue applications.
Maximum capacity is 310 lbs. (140.6kg),
including body weight, clothing and tools,
unless labeled otherwise. — DO NOT
EXCEED THIS WEIGHT.
When used with a Miller 928LS shock
absorber, Miller brand self-retracting
lifelines are rated to *400 lbs. (181.4kg)
maximum capacity in overhead
installation applications. The shock
absorber must be attached between
the user's harness back D-ring and the
self-retracting lifeline. Additional fall
Refer to the label on the shock absorber
to determine its maximum elongation/
deceleration distance and add this
factor to your self-retracting lifeline fall
clearance calculation.
*If the system is used by an employee having
a combined tool and body weight between 310
lbs. (140.6 kg) and 400 lbs. (181.4 kg), then the
employer must appropriately modify the criteria
and protocols to provide proper protection for such
heavier weights, or the system will not be deemed
to be in compliance with the requirements of OSHA
1926.502(d)(16). [ANSI capacity range is 130 lbs.-
310 lbs. (59kg-140,6kg).]
Force required to operate rescue features
when device is loaded to capacity is 22
lbs. (98N).

Do not allow equipment to come in contact
with anything that will damage it including, but
not limited to, sharp, abrasive, rough or high-
temperature surfaces, welding, heat sources,
electrical hazards, or moving machinery.
Do not expose the equipment to any hazard
which it is not designed to withstand. Consult
the manufacturer in cases of doubt.
Always check for obstructions below the work
area to make sure potential fall path is clear.
Allow adequate fall clearance below the work
surface.
Never remove product labels, which include
important warnings and information for the
authorized person/user.
LIFELINE RETRACTION & LOCKING
Do not use the device if it does not retract.
Always maintain tension on the lifeline
while retracting.
Device must be tested for locking before
each use. Do not use the device if the
brakes do not engage.
USE
This device is designed for overhead
installation applications and applications
whereby the unit is used in conjunction
with a mounting bracket and installed to
Honeywell-approved anchorages, such as
a tripod or davit system.
Do not use this device for horizontal use
or with horizontal lifeline systems, unless
approved by the manufacturer.
Never work above the device.
The device should be installed and used
in such a manner as to minimize the
potential for a swing fall.
Never allow lifeline to become slack while
being used for fall protection or while in
rescue mode.
Do not allow lifeline in any application
to bend or be subjected to fall arresting
forces over structural members or edges.
Never use the device as a restraint or
positioning device.
