Certified to ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 1 and compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140, with capacities per the model manual.

Typical Applications
Use Overview
Use must follow the Guardian SRL instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect first. Check the housing, lifeline, load indicator, and hooks before every use.
- Test retraction. Pull the line and let it retract under control; confirm smooth payout and positive lock when jerked sharply.
- Anchor per class. Class 1 devices anchor at or above the dorsal D-ring; Class 2 devices may anchor at foot level per the manual.
- Connect the worker. Attach the lifeline hook to the harness per the manual and confirm the gate locks.
- Check clearance. Verify fall clearance using the chart on the label for your anchor height.
- Work in line. Stay in line with the anchor to minimize swing fall exposure.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before every use, and have a competent person perform a documented inspection at least every six months under ANSI Z359.2 practice. Remove the SRL from service for any of the conditions below.
- Lifeline: cuts, fraying, kinks, broken wires, or contamination along the full working length.
- Retraction: hesitation, slack line, or failure to lock under a sharp pull.
- Load indicator: any deployment showing.
- Housing and swivel: cracks, deformation, corrosion, or binding.
