6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE
6.1
CLEANING: Cleaning procedures for the SRD are as follows:
•
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRD using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRD so excess water can
drain out. Clean labels as required.
•
Clean the Web Lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat.
The lifeline should be dry before allowing it to retract into the housing. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc. may
prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a potential free fall hazard.
6.2
SERVICE: SRDs are not repairable. If the SRD has been subjected to fall force or inspection reveals an unsafe or
defective condition, remove the SRD from service and discard (see "Disposal").
6.3
STORAGE/TRANSPORT: Store and transport the SRD in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid
areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRD after any period of extended storage.
6.4
DISPOSAL: Dispose of the SRD if it has been subjected to fall arrest forces or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective
condition. Before disposing of the SRD, cut the lifeline in half or otherwise disable the SRD to eliminate the possibility of
inadvertent reuse.
7.0 Labels
Figure 20 illustrates labels on the the Self-Retracting Device and their locations. All labels must be present on the SRD. Labels
must be replaced if they are not fully legible.
