Repairs to equipment can be made only by a Guardian representative or person or entity
authorized by Guardian. Contact Guardian for maintenance and repair. Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and life of the
equipment. Cleanse the equipment of all dirt, corrosives, and contaminants. If the equipment cannot simply be wiped clean use a mild soap and
water. Rinse, wipe, and hang to dry. Store equipment where it cannot be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, oil, chemicals, or other
degrading elements. This device, unless otherwise indicated, must be returned for factory servicing every two years from the date of first use. This
device must also be returned if the product fails any daily inspection, load indicator has been activated, or a competent person has deemed the
equipment unsafe.
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT:
Retractable:
All Guardian Retractables are to be considered a mechanical device or a“Self-Locking Anchorage Device”, or a Self Retracting Lifeline
(SRL). This device is used to safely expand the working area where a harness with a 6ft. lanyard is not adequate. Also, a SRL is designed to reduce
the shock loading to the body of a worker by limiting the distance of a fall. The device allows for complete freedom of movement. The SRL is to
be considered part of a personal fall arrest system. The SRL is to be used as part of a complete fall arrest system. PFAS most commonally include
the use of a full body harnees, anchorage connector such as a carabiner and the SRL.
GUARDIAN PREMIUM EDGE SERIES 11FT. WEBBED SELF RETRACTING LIFELINE:
Includes a carabineer for attachment to an approved anchor
point. SRL also includes a double locking snap hook. All 11ft. retractables include a shock absorbing pack as a part of the 1-inch wide nylon web
lifeline. Additonal option may include a swivel snap hook with an impact load indicator.
GUARDIAN PREMIUM EDGE SERIES 20FT. WEBBED SELF RETRACTING LIFELINE
: Includes a swivel eye anchorage, self-locking swivel snap
hook with impact indicator, and 1-inch wide nylon web in the length of 20ft. SRL also comes with a carabineer and tag line to be used with the
device to avoid improper use.
GUARDIAN PREMIUM EDGE SERIES 20FT., 25FT., and 30FT., GALVANIZED SELF RETRACTING LIFELINE:
Includes a swivel eye anchorage,
self-locking swivel snap hook with impact indicator, and 3/16
th
galvanized wire cable. SRL also comes with a carabineer and tag line to be used with
the device to avoid improper use.
PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION:
The SRL is used in a stationary or mobile manner. As a stationary device, the SRL would be mounted to an approved fixed anchorage connector
directly overhead. The SRL would extend as the user moves away from the anchorage point and retracts as the user moves back towards the
anchorage point. As the SRL is used in a mobile manner, the device would be traveling on a steel cable, rope, or fixed rail traveling from one
anchorage connector to the other.
LIMITATIONS:
Consider the following application limitations before using this equipment.
• Capacity: The SRL is to be used by an individual with a combined weight (person, clothing, tools, etc.) of 90 pounds
minimum and no more than 310lbs maximum. No more than one person may be connected at one time.
• Corrosion: Leaving the SRL in an environment for long periods of time that could cause corrosion of metal parts is not
warranted in any way and must not be done. Use caution when working around corrosive compounds such as ammonia,
sewage, fertilizers, seawater or other corrosive environments, may require more frequent inspections or servicing. These
increased inspections and servicing are required to ensure corrosive damage is not impacting the performance of the SRL.
• Chemical Hazards and Heat: Extreme caution must be taken when working in or around environments containing acid or
caustic chemicals, particularly at elevated temperatures. Damage will result to GFP SRL’s in this environment. Chemical
damage is difficult to detect and it is recommended that the lifeline be replaced periodically to ensure safety of the workers.
Additionally, this SRL is not to be used in high temperature environments. The SRL must be protected when using near
welding, metal cutting, or similar activities. Hot sparks and slag can damage this equipment. Users must inspect SRL prior
to each use.
• Electrical Hazards: For web and wire rope models, there is a possibility of an electric current flowing through the lifeline.
Moisture absorbed by the lifeline may provide a path for electrical current to flow, resulting in electrical shock. Use caution
where the lifeline may contact high voltage power lines.
• Locking Speed: Extreme caution should be taken when using this device whereas an obstructed fall could occur as well as
when someone must perform work in a confined or cramped space. Working in these types of environments could limit the
speed at which the locking mechanisms engage. Extreme caution should be taken when working on low pitched roofs, where
a worker may slide instead of fall. A clear path is required to ensure positive locking of the SRL.
