DO NOT leave the PFL installed in environments which could cause damage or deterioration to the product. Refer to
l
the care details in Section
Examinations.
Instructions shall be retained and provided to all users of PFLs in the language of the destination country, even when
l
resold.
DO NOT exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as specified by governing standards or subsystem components.
l
Dual-connections shall only be made for the purposes of 100% tie-off transitions, if a dual connection is made for any
l
other purpose, anchorages of different elevations must be utilized.
Use of combinations of components or subsystems, or both, may affect or interfere with the safe function of the
l
components or subsystems.
Inspection/Removing Product From Service
PFLs that have arrested a fall or are unable to pass an inspection shall be tagged "UNUSABLE" and disposed of in
l
accordance with local regulations.
Due to the nature of some fall arrest events, it is possible for the energy absorber to not deploy. In the event that a
l
PFL is subjected to fall arrest forces and the energy absorber does not deploy, the PFL still must be removed from
service and marked as "UNUSABLE" until it has been destroyed.
If the load indicator is deployed, immediately remove the PFL from service and mark it as "UNUSABLE" until it has
l
been destroyed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
