operation: Inspect the SRL as described. Connect the SRL to a suitable anchorage or anchorage connector as
previously described. Connect self locking snap hook on end of lifeline to the fall arrest attachment (full body
harness). See Figure 3. Ensure connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength. Ensure hook is fully
closed and locked. Once attached, the worker is free to move about within the recommended working area at
normal speeds. If a fall occurs, the SRL will lock and arrest the fall. Upon rescue, remove SRL from use. When
working with an SRL, always allow the lifeline to recoil back into the device under control. A short tag line may be
required to extend or retract the lifeline during connection and disconnection operations. During extended periods
of time that the SRL is not used, the use of a tag line is recommended to allow the lifeline to fully retract back into
the housing. Depending in the work site environment and conditions, it may be necessary to restrain the free end
of the tag line to prevent interference and entanglement with equipment or machinery.
Retrieval and RSQ Controlled descent: The Sealed-Blok™ SRL can be purchased with optional Retrieval and
RSQ Controlled Descent features that allow use of the SRL for self-rescue (RSQ), assisted rescue (Retrieval or
RSQ), and lifting and lowering of materials (Retrieval). Separate SRL Retrieval Operator Instructions and SRL RSQ
Controlled Descent Operator Instructions are included with Sealed-Blok™ Shuttles equipped with these features.

and easy field replacement of the lifeline by a competent person who has been properly trained and authorized by
Capital Safety. Do not attempt to replace lifeline without first receiving specific instructions. Contact Capital Safety
for more information about FAST-Line
WarnInG: In most cases, replacing the lifeline cannot be considered as a complete servicing. A thorough
inspection of the unit must be performed by a competent person. If the snap hook impact indicator shows signs
of activation (see figure 4), the unit should be removed from service and fully serviced, including the brake and
the other internal safety components. If it is known that the impact indicator is activated but that the unit has
not been used to arrest a fall (retrieval situation for example) then it is acceptable that only the lifeline gets
replaced, as long as the rest of the unit passes the inspection.
InspeCtIon
inSpeCTion FReQuenCY: To ensure safe, efficient operation, the should be inspected at the following intervals:
• Before each use: Before each use, inspect equipment for any defaults according to this instruction.
• annual inspection: A formal inspection of the SRL must be completed by a competent person
than the user. More frequent inspections by a competent person may be required based on the nature
and severity of workplace conditions affecting the equipment and the modes of use and exposure time
of the equipment. Record results in the inspection and maintenance log. A record of annual service dates
can be found on the identification plate of the SRL.
IMportant: Extreme working conditions (harsh environment, prolonged use, etc.) may require increasing the
frequency of inspections.
• after a Fall: Inspect load indicator according to Figure 4, and entire SRL instruction.

instructions in Table 1 at the indicated frequencies.
IMportant: Record the inspection results in the Inspection and Maintenance Log.
IMportant: Extreme working conditions (harsh environment, prolonged use) may require increasing the
