1.0 Warnings and Important Informaon
This product is part of a personal fall arrest, restraint, work posioning, suspension, or rescue system. A Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) is
typically composed of an anchorage and a Full Body Harness (FBH), with a connecng device, i.e., a Shock Absorbing Lanyard (SAL), or a
Self-Retracng Lanyard (SRL), aached to the dorsal D-ring of the FBH.
These instrucons must be provided to the worker using this equipment. The worker must read and understand the manufacturer’s instrucons for
each component or part of the complete system. Manufacturer’s instrucons must be followed for proper use, care, and maintenance of this
product. These instrucons must be retained and be kept available for the worker’s reference at all mes. Alteraons or misuse of this product, or
failure to follow instrucons, may result in serious injury or death.
A Fall Protecon Plan must be on le and available for review by all workers. It is the responsibility of the worker and the purchaser of this
equipment to assure that users of this equipment are properly trained in its use, maintenance, and storage. Training must be repeated at regular
intervals. Training must not subject the trainee to fall hazards.
Consult a doctor if there is reason to doubt your tness to safely absorb the shock of a fall event. Age and tness seriously aect a worker’s ability
to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use this equipment.
ANSI limits the weight of fall protecon equipment users to a maximum of 310 lbs. Products in this manual may have a rated capacity exceeding
ANSI capacity limits. Heavy users experience more risk of serious injury or death due to falls because of increased fall arrest forces placed on the
user’s body. In addion, the onset of suspension trauma aer a fall event may be accelerated for heavy users.
The user of the equipment discussed in this manual must read and understand the enre manual before beginning work.
NOTE: For more informaon consult the ANSI Z359 body of standards.
• Avoid moving machinery, thermal, electrical, and/or chemical hazards as contact may cause serious injury or death.
• Avoid swing falls.
• Follow the weight restricons and recommendaons in this manual.
• Remove from service any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces.
• Remove from service any equipment that fails inspecon.
• Do not alter or intenonally misuse this equipment.
• Consult FallTech when using this equipment in combinaon with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual.
• Do not connect rebar hooks, large carabiners, or large snap hooks to the FBH dorsal D-rings as this may cause a roll-out condion and/or
unintenonal disengagement.
• Use cauon when performing arc welding. Arc ash from arc welding operaons, including accidental arcs from electrical equipment, can
damage equipment and are potenally fatal.
• Examine the work area. Be aware of the surroundings and workplace hazards that may impact safety, security, and the funconing of fall arrest
systems and components.
• Hazards may include, but are not limited to, cable or debris tripping hazards, equipment failures, personnel mistakes, or moving equipment
such as carts, barrows, fork lis, cranes, or dollies. Do not allow materials, tools, or equipment in transit to contact any part of the fall arrest
system.
• Do not work under suspended loads.

2.0 Descripon
The FallTech(R) FT-XTM Web SRL-P is a personal self-retracng device for those working at height and may be subject to fall hazards. This product is
not suitable for applicaons with leading edge exposures where the lifeline of this device may come in contact with an edge during a fall event.
This product is a personal SRL and may be used with the SRL housing side connected to the anchor or connected to the full body harness. Contact
FallTech for more informaon or product selecon quesons.
This manual includes one Appendix containing gures and tables specic to the FT-X Web SRL-P discussed in this manual.
The SRL discussed in this manual may be aached to an overhead anchorage, i.e., from directly over the user’s head, or to or around an anchorage
at a maximum of 5’ below the user’s FBH dorsal D-ring for a worker weight up to 310 lbs. or at a maximum of 3' below the user's FBH dorsal D-ring
for a worker weighing 311 to 420 lbs. Below D-ring e-o is outside the scope of ANSI Z359 and is only allowed when no edge hazards are present.
At no point during a fall shall the lifeline be loaded over any edge.
As shown in Figure 1 below, the FT-X Web has a nylon housing that contains a synthec lifeline wound onto a spring tensioned drum. The FT-X Web
lifeline is equipped with an energy absorber and a leg-end connector. When the user is aached, the lifeline extends and retracts with the user
movement, automacally maintaining taut lifeline. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages, stopping the lifeline payout. Then, the in-line
Energy Absorber (EA) will deploy, gradually slowing and arresng the fall.
See Table 1A in Appendix A for product, material, and performance specicaons.

2.1 American Naonal Standards Instute (ANSI) and Occupaonal Safety and Health Administraon (OSHA): The SRD discussed in this
manual meets the standards of ANSI Z359.14-2021, ANSI A10.32-2012, and Occupaonal Safety and Health Administraon (OSHA)
regulaons 1926.502 and 1910.140. ANSI requires SRDs be classied according to the type of usage the user would be exposed to, and are
tested either as Class 1 or Class 2. Dynamic performance means that the SRD is installed in a tesng drop tower. A test weight is aached
to the SRD and then dropped. Test results are recorded.
Parameters recorded are:
The Arrest Distance is the total vercal distance required to arrest a fall. The Arrest Distance includes the deceleraon distance and the
acvaon distance. The Average Arrest Force is the average of the forces applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall protecon
system. The Maximum Arrest Force is the maximum amount of force that may be applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall
protecon system. In addion to the above tests conducted in ambient condions, the units must be retested for average and peak
forces under certain environmental condions, where the units are cooled, then tested, heated, then tested, or saturated in water and
tested again. Separate units may be used for each test. All test results are recorded.
This test data is then used to establish the basis for fall clearance guidelines published in the user instrucon manual.
Class 1 and 2: Class 1 devices shall be used only on overhead anchorages and shall be subjected to a maximum free fall of 2 feet (0.6 m)
or less. Class 2 devices are intended for applicaons where an overhead anchorage may not be available or feasible and be subjected to a
free fall of no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) over an edge.
To be declared a Class 1 and Class 2 device, ANSI requires an SRD to have an overhead Arrest Distance of less than 42” (1.1 m), an Average
Arrest Force of less than 1,350 lbs (6 kN) [1,575 lbs (7 kN) condioned] and a Maximum Arresng Force of 1,800 lbs (8 kN), for both
ambient and condioned tesng.
When dynamically tested in accordance with requirements of ANSI Z359.14-2021, FallTech Class 1 and Class 2 Self-Retracng Devices have
an AAF of 1,350 lbs (6 KN) or less and an AD of less than 42” (1.1 m).
Please see Secon 5 of this user instrucon manual for how to calculate your Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC)
Please see Secon 5.2 of this user instrucon manual for how to calculate your Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) using the
axed labels.
Classicaon informaon found on product labels is based on test results. Table 1B in Appendix A provides test performance results for
the SRD discussed in this manual. NOTE: Arrest distance is one of several parts of the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC).
MRFC is discussed in detail in Secon 5 .
OSHA requires an SRD limit the free fall to 2 feet (0.9 m) or less. If the maximum free fall distance must be exceeded, the employer must
document, based on test data, that the maximum arresng force will not be exceeded, and the personal fall arrest system will funcon
properly. Contact FallTech for more informaon on this tesng.

3.0 Applicaon
3.1 Purpose: The FT-X Web SRL-P is designed to be used as a component in a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS), to provide a
combinaon of worker mobility and fall protecon as required for inspecon work, general construcon, maintenance work, oil produc
on, conned space work, etc.
3.2 Personal Fall Arrest System: A PFAS is an assembly of components and subsystems used to arrest a person during a fall event. A PFAS
typically consists of an anchorage, a deceleraon device such as a Energy Absorbing Lanyard (EAL), a Self-Retracng Device (SRD), or a
Fall Arrestor Connecng Subsystem (FACSS), and a properly ed Full Body Harness (FBH). The SRD discussed in this manual may be used
in non-overhead anchorage situaons. Maximum permissible free fall in a typical PFAS is 6’ (1.8 m). Other applicaons may be below the
D-ring, but no edge exposures are allowed with this product.
3.3 Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) and Rail Systems: The SRL may be aached to rigid and exible anchors provided that all HLL or rail system
applicaons, installaon, and uses are under the supervision of a qualied person.
3.4 Rescue: Ensure a wrien rescue plan, method, and system is in place and readily available for rapid response. Rescues may require
specialized equipment or measures. Rescue operaons are beyond the scope of this manual. See ANSI Z359.4.
3.5 Applicaon Limits: Take acon to avoid moving machinery, abrasive surfaces, and thermal, electrical, including the arc from welding
applicaons, and chemical hazards as contact may damage the SRL, which may result in serious injury or death. The SRL is not
designed for use in restraint, personnel riding, suspension, or work posioning. Rescue applicaons are beyond the scope
of this manual. Do not use the SRL for these applicaons except as a back-up PFAS.

4.0 System Requirements
4.1 Capacity: The FT-X Web SRL-P is designed for use by a single user with a combined weight of user, tools, clothing, etc., of:
a. 130 - 310 lbs. (59 - 141 kg) to comply with ANSI and OSHA
b. 130 - 420 lbs. (59 - 191 kg) to comply with OSHA only
4.2 Compability Of Connectors: Connectors are considered to be compable with connecng elements when they have been designed to
work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how
they become oriented. Contact FallTech if you have any quesons about compability. Connectors must be compable with the
anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compable, see Figure 2. Non-compable connectors may
unintenonally disengage. Connectors must be compable in size, shape, and strength. Self-closing, self-locking connectors are required
by ANSI and OSHA.
4.3 Compability Of Components: Equipment is designed for use with approved components and subsystems only. Substuons or
replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compability of equipment and may aect the safety
and reliability of the complete system.
4.4 Making Connecons: Only use self-locking connectors with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each applicaon.
Ensure all connecons are compable in size, shape, and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compable. Visually ensure all
connectors are fully closed and locked. Connectors are designed to be used only as specied in each product’s user instrucons.
4.5 Personal Fall Arrest System: A PFAS is an assembly of components and subsystems used to arrest a person during a fall event. A PFAS
is typically composed of an anchorage and a FBH, with an energy absorbing connecng device, i.e., an SAL, an SRL, or a Fall Arrester
Connecng Subsystem (FACSS), connected to the dorsal D-ring of the FBH. PFAS components used in conjuncon with this SRL should
comply with ANSI Z359 requirements and applicable OSHA regulaons.
4.6 Average Arrest Force and Arrest Distance: Table 1B in Appendix A provide test data on typical performance aributes of the three
principal parameters: Arrest Distance, Average Arrest Force, and Maximum Arrest Force, listed by model number and class. Tesng is
conducted under various environmental condions, at ambient temperature, hot, cold, and wet condions. In manufacturer’s tests,
worst case performance aributes of the SRL, connected at maximum e-o below dorsal D-ring in non-Leading Edge applicaons are:
ANever connect two acve components (snap hooks or carabiners) to each other.
BNever connect two acve components (snap hooks or carabiners) to a single D-ring at the same me.
CNever connect in a way that would produce a condion of loading on the gate.
DNever aach to an object in a manner whereby the gate (of the snap hook or carabiner) would be
prevented from fully closing and locking. Always guard against false connecons by visually inspecng for closure and lock.
ENever aach explicitly to a constuent subcomponent (webbing, cable or rope) unless specically provided for by the manufacturer’s instrucons for both
subcomponents (snap hook or carabiner and webbing, cable, or rope).
FNever aach in a manner where an element of the connector (gate or release lever) may become caught on the anchor thereby producing addional risk of
false engagement.
GNever aach a spreader snap hook to two side/posioning D-rings in a manner whereby the D-rings will engage the gates; the gates on a spreader must
always be facing away from the D-rings during work posioning.
Figure 2 - Non-Compable Connecons
The competent person may nd this data useful with planning anchorage locaon and calculang fall arrest loads and distances from the
walking/working level to the nearest obstrucon or lower level. See Secon 5.
NOTE: Arrest distance is one part of the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC). The MRFC is determined by consideraon of mulple
factors in fall protecon. Aachment below the level of the FBH D-ring will require addional fall clearance. MRFC is discussed in
detail in Secon 5.

body harness follows the steps listed below:
Step 1: Connect an approved carabiner through the swivel eye above the housing
Step 2: Connect the approved carabiner with SRL to the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness.
Step 3: Connect the leg-end connector of the SRL to the anchorage or anchorage connector. See Figure 3.
WARNING
Do not alter or intenonally misuse this equipment. Consult FallTech when using this equipment in combinaon with components or subsys-
tems other than those described in this manual. All components or subsystems used with the SRD discussed in this manual must be in
compliance with ANSI Z359 and/or OSHA.
Do not use rebar hooks, large carabiners or large snap hooks to connect to the FBH dorsal D-rings or to any small diameter non-compable
anchor point as this may cause a roll-out condion and/or unintenonal disengagement.
Avoid sharp and /or abrasive surfaces and edges
4.7 Personal Fall Arrest System Anchorage Strength: An anchorage selected for PFAS applicaon must have the strength to sustain a stac
load applied in the direcon permied by the PFAS of at least:
a. Two mes the maximum arrest force permied when cercaon exists, or
b. 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) in the absence of cercaon.
Select an anchorage locaon carefully. Consider structural strength, obstrucons in the fall path, and swing fall hazards. In certain
situaons, the qualied person can determine that a given structure is able to withstand the applied MAF of the PFAS with a safety factor
of at least two, as required by OSHA.

5.3 Aaching to an Anchorage
Examine the work area for possible hazards. Take cauon to avoid overhead hazards such as cranes, poles, overhead power cables, and
walking/working surface hazards such as power cables, welding leads, air and uid hoses, including obstrucon hazards such as vercal
columns and stacks of materials on the lower level. Eliminate hazards where possible.
Ensure the anchorage provides the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) in the fall path below the walking/working surface to
prevent striking the lower level or an obstrucon during a fall event. Take acon to avoid swing falls, which occur when the anchorage is
not directly above the point where the fall occurs.
Fall clearance and swing falls are subject to variable condions. Anchor height, lateral movement, and setback distance all aect anchor
locaon with regard to fall clearance and swing falls.
The SRL may be aached to an overhead anchor, i.e., above the user’s FBH dorsal D-ring, or a non-overhead anchor, i.e., below the user’s
FBH dorsal D-ring. A non-overhead anchor may be a maximum of 5’ (1.5 m) below the user’s FBH dorsal D-ring for a worker weighing
130 to 310 lbs (59 to 141 kg) or a maximum of 3' (0.9 m) below the user's FBH dorsal D-ring for a worker weighing 311 to 420 lbs (141
to 191 kg) . Non-overhead anchor locaons result in greater possibility of edge hazards. At no point during a fall shall the lifeline be loaded
over any edge. Use of a below D-ring anchorages should be as a last resort, when no other anchor opon exists. When anchored below
the FBH back D-ring, fall events will result in greater fall clearances.
5.4 Using the FT-X Web SRL-P
Before each use, inspect the FT-X Web in accordance with Secon 7. Remove the device from service if the inspecon shows damage
or any malfuncon.
Don the FBH and/or aach the SRL in accordance with the harness manufacturer’s instrucons.
Follow the instrucons contained in this manual and on the labels. Failure to follow instrucons may result in serious injury or death.
Connect the leg-end connector to an approved anchorage point or to the full body harness depending on orientaon. Ensure the
connector closes and locks. Ensure all connecons are compable. Normal operaon will allow the working length of the lifeline to extend
and retract as the worker moves about.
Avoid sudden or quick movements during the normal work operaon, as this may cause the SRL pawl system to engage and possibly
cause loss of balance, which may cause injury or death. If a fall occurs, the pawl system will engage and lock the lifeline. The EA will
deploy to arrest the fall and limit arrest forces on the user.
5.4.1 Locking Mechanism: The SRD ulizes an acceleraon based locking mechanism. The locking funcon requires a certain payout rate during
a fall event to funcon correctly. Certain situaons, conned or cramped spaces, shiing foong such as sand, gravel, grain, or a sloped
surface may not allow the lifeline to reach sucient speed to acvate the lock mechanism. A clear path is required to assure posive
locking of the SRD. Ensure the lock is funconing properly. Pull the lifeline out a short distance and give it a sharp tug. The lifeline must
lock. If it fails to lock, remove it from service immediately. Ensure the work zone remains within stated parameters.
5.4.2 Visual Indicator: The primary fall arrest impact indicator is the energy absorber in the lifeline between the housing and the leg-end
connector. Torn stching, deployment, expansion, or lengthening of the white internal energy absorber webbing is an indicaon that a fall
event has occurred and the unit must be removed from service. Remove from service any unit that fails inspecon, including inspecon of
the fall arrest impact indicator. If you have any quesons, contact FallTech.

• DO NOT extend the lifeline past the operaonal limit.
• DO NOT allow one SRD lifeline to become tangled or twisted with another SRD lifeline during use.
• DO NOT allow any lifeline to pass under arms or between legs during use.
• DO NOT clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracng or being taut.
• DO NOT lengthen the SRD by connecng a lifeline or similar component.
• DO NOT allow the lifeline to remain outside the housing when not in use.
102022
MSRD26 Rev B 9
5.4.3 Aer A Fall: A fall event over an edge may require special rescue equipment and measures. Ensure a wrien rescue plan, method and
system is in place and readily available to all users for rapid response. Ensure all users are trained in rescue procedures. If a fall event
occurs, remove it from service, and store it separately. Remove from service any unit that has been subjected to fall arrest forces or that
exhibits damage consistent with such forces. For quesons, contact FallTech.
5.4.4 Using the SRD: Do not use the SRD if inspecon shows damage or any malfuncon. Don the FBH in accordance with the FBH
manufacturer’s instrucons. Follow the instrucons contained in this manual and on the labels. Failure to follow instrucons may result
in serious injury or death. Connect the SRL-FBH Connector to the dorsal D-ring on the FBH. Ensure the connector closes and locks. Aach
the leg-end carabiner to the chosen anchorage and ensure the leg-end connector closes and locks. Ensure all connecons are compable.
Normal operaon will allow the working length of the lifeline to extend and retract as the worker moves about. A certain amount of
tension must remain on the web at all mes to ensure proper operaon of the internal brake. Do not allow the lifeline to become slack.
If the lifeline becomes slack, remove the SRD from service for inspecon. See Secon 7.
Avoid sudden or quick movements during the normal work operaon, as this may cause the SRD brake to engage and possibly cause loss
of balance and injury or death.
If a fall occurs, the brake will engage and lock the lifeline. The EA will deploy to arrest the fall and limit arrest forces on the user.

5.5 Calculang Minimum Required Fall Clearance
5.5.1 FT-X Web in Overhead, Non-Leading Edge Anchorage Applicaon [130 to 310 lbs. (59 to 141 kg) user]
The FT-X may be used may be used as a standard SRD in an overhead condion, in which the SRD is installed anywhere in the
allowable aachment area, which ranges from directly above the user to level with the FBH D-ring, as shown in Figure 5.
The overhead condion minimum required fall clearance (MRFC) is calculated using four metrics, measured from the walking-working
surface: SRD Deceleraon Distance, D-Ring Shi and Harness Stretch [1  (0.3m)], Safety Factor [1.5  (0.5m)], and Swing Fall. The
diagram in Figure 6 is calculated using the performance data of the SRD and includes all four metrics listed previously to determine the
MRFC.
5.5.2 FT-X Web with a Non-Overhead, Non-Leading Edge Anchorage Applicaon [130 to 310 lbs. (59 to 141 kg) user]
The non-leading edge below D-ring condion minimum required fall clearance (MRFC) is calculated using ve metrics, measured from the
walking-working surface: SRD Deceleraon Distance, D-Ring Shi and Harness Stretch [1  (0.3m)], Safety Factor [1.5  (0.5m)], Dorsal
D-ring Height [5  (1.5m)], and Swing Fall. Dorsal D-ring height is added to account for the below D-ring e-o compared to the overhead
condion. The diagram in Figure 8 is calculated using the performance data of the SRD and includes all ve metrics listed previously to
determine the MRFC. Below D-ring e-o is outside the scope of ANSI Z359 and is only allowed when no edge hazards are present. At no
point during a fall shall the lifeline be loaded over any edge.

6.0 Maintenance, Service, and Storage
6.1 Maintenance: Ensure the SRL is kept free of excess paint, grease, dirt or other contaminants as this may cause the lifeline or retracng
mechanism to malfuncon. Ensure no debris enters the housing. Clean the exterior of the unit as required with a detergent/water
soluon. Do not allow water or other corrosion causing elements to enter the housing. Aer cleaning, pull the lifeline all the way out,
allow the unit to air dry, then retract the lifeline into the unit. Clean labels as required.
DO NOT use heat to dry.
DO NOT aempt to disassemble the SRL.
6.2 Service: Remove the unit from service if it has been subjected to fall arrest force. Tag the unit as “UNUSABLE” to prevent future use. The
SRD is not repairable.
6.3 Storage: Store the FT-X Web in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Posion the SRL so excess water can drain out.
Avoid exposure to chemical or causc vapors. Thoroughly inspect the SRL aer any period of extended storage.
Table 1: Guidelines for FT-X Web SRL Inspecon
Inspecon Pass Fail
The web lifeline should extract and retract completely and without faltering and should remain taut under tension without
sagging.
Extract the web lifeline several inches and apply a rm pull to conrm the SRD locks. The locking should be certain and
without skidding. Repeat this lockup at addional places along the lifeline length to conrm the SRD is operang correctly.
Examine the energy absorber on the lifeline to be certain that it has not been acvated.
Review the web lifeline closely for wear created by abrasion, taered yarns, unraveled strands, burns, and cuts. Also examine
for knots, rust, dirt, paint, and grease or oil. Check for damage caused by chemical corrupon or excessive heat as evident
with discoloraon. Examine for extreme exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet as demonstrated by desiccaon.
Check for any missing or loose screws or nuts and any deformed or damaged components.
Examine the external housing for cracks, breaks, or warping.
Review the integral anchor loop and Connector for damage and deformaon. The anchor loop should rotate smoothly and be
joined rmly to the housing. The Connector should also rotate smoothly within the anchor loop.
Examine the overall SRD unit for any indicaons of deterioraon or damage.
All labels must be intact and totally readable (see Secon 8)
