User Instruction Manual - Self Retracting Lifelines
This manual is intended to meet the Manufacturer’s Instructions as required by
the current ANSI Z359.14, and should used as part of an employee training pro-
gram as required by OSHA.
WARNING: This product is one part of a personal fall arrest, restraint, work posi-
tioning, personnel riding, climbing, or rescue system. Without the other necessary
components in such sub-systems the self retracting lifeline itself serves no useful
purpose. The user must follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each compo-
nent of the system. These instructions must be provided to the user before using
this product and retained for ready reference by the user. The user must read,
understand (or have explained), and heed all instructions, labels, markings and
warnings supplied with this product and with those products intended for use in
association with it before using this equipment. Manufacturer’s instructions must
be followed for proper use and maintenance of this equipment. National stan-
dards and state, provincial and federal laws require the user to be trained before
using this product. This manual can be used as part of a such a user safety-
training program that is appropriate for the user’s occupation.
IMPORTANT: Alterations or misuse of this product or failure to follow in-
structions may result in serious injury or death. If you have questions on the
use, care, or suitability of this equipment for your application, contact RELIANCE
Fall Protection for information.

DESCRIPTION
The Skyloc™/Skyloc II™/Roto-Loc™/Enviro-Shield™Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL)
is designed to be a component in a personal fall arrest systems (PFAS). It may be
used in most situations where a combination of worker mobility and fall protection
is required (i.e. inspection work, general construction, maintenance work, oil
production, conned space work, etc.). The Skyloc™/Skyloc II™/Roto-Loc™/Enviro-
Shield™SRL is designed for use by a single person weighing up to 400 lbs [181kg]
(body weight plus tools) *PLEASE NOTE - capacity is specic to lifeline model.
See Page 7 for complete details. Skyloc™/Skyloc II™/Roto-Loc™/Enviro-Shield™
Self Retracting Lifeline features a cam-action pawl system ensuring positive lock-
up even in the most demanding environments. Available standard cable / web
lengths allow the Skyloc™/Skyloc II™/Roto-Loc™/Enviro-Shield™to be mounted
overhead in areas where there are no other convenient anchor points for personal
fall arrest means. The Pelican™snap-hook’s unique hook body design prevents
the accidental “false engagement” to the harness dorsal D-ring, while the case
swivel or anchor connector (depending on model) provides an easy to see load
indicator showing whether the Skyloc™/Skyloc II™/Roto-Loc™/Enviro-Shield™has
been exposed to a fall arrest load and needs to be serviced.

SELF RETRACTING LIFELINE APPLICATION
A. PURPOSE:
RELIANCE Self Retracting Lifelines (SRL’s) are used as one component in a
personal fall arrest system (PFAS). The SRL’s described in this manual meet,
ANSI Z359.14 and OSHA requirements (except where noted). These instruc-
tions, and markings borne by the SRL’s, fulll the instruction and marking re-
quirements of those standards and regulations. This equipment is specically
designed to dissipate fall energy and limit the fall arrest forces that are trans-
ferred to the body.
1) PERSONAL FALL ARREST:
The self retracting lifeline is used as a component of a personal fall
arrest system. Personal fall arrest systems typically include a full body
harness, a connecting subsystem (energy absorbing device such as
a shock absorbing lanyard or self retracting lifeline) and an anchorage
connector. Average arresting force must not exceed 900 lbs (4kN) for
ANSI Z359.14, Class A and 1350 lbs (6kN) for ANSI Z359.14, Class
B. Maximum arresting force must not exceed 1,800 lbs (8kN) for ANSI
Z359.14 and OSHA.
B. USE LIMITATIONS:
Consider the following application limitations before using this equipment:
1) CAPACITY:
These SRL’s are designed for use by persons with a combined weight
(clothing, tools, etc.) of no more than 400 lbs (181kg) *Capacities vary -
please see Page 7 for full details.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS (continued)
The following specications apply to all Skyloc™ and Enviro-Shield™ Self Retracting Life-
lines and meet the Class B requirements of ANSI Z359.14:
• Maximum Arrest Force (MAF): ≤ 1,800 lbs (8kN) • Average Arrest Force (AAF): ≤
900 lbs (4kN)
•Arrest Distance (AD): ≤ 42” (1.07m)
The Maximum Capacity specication is specic to the model. Please refer to the table
above for specic lifeline capacity.
• 310 lb Max. Capacity : 1 worker, max. combined tool & body weight ≤ 310 lbs (140.6kg).
• 400 lb Maximum Capacity : 1 worker, max. combined tool & body weight of ≤ 400 lbs
(181kg). Certain Models have capacity up to 440 lbs (200kg). Contact Reliance Industries if
higher capacity models are needed.
The following specications apply to all Skyloc™ II and Roto-Loc™ Self Retracting Lifelines
and meet the Class A requirements of ANSI Z359.14:
• Maximum Arrest Force (MAF): ≤ 1,800 lbs (8kN) • Average Arrest Force (AF): ≤
1,350 lbs (4kN)
•Arrest Distance (AD): ≤ 24” (0.61m)
• 310 lb Max. Capacity : 1 worker, max. combined tool & body weight ≤ 310 lbs (140.6kg).

Page 10
CALCULATE THE FALL CLEARANCE!
1) Determine distance beneath walking/working surface to nearest lower level
or obstruction : Minimum Required Clearance - MRC
2) Add the Activation Distance - Distance required for lifeline to activate -
Activation Distance - AD = 12” (.3m)
3) Add the Deceleration Distance - DD. No more than 30” (.76m)
4) Add the Safety Factor: Safety Factor - SF. 1.5’ to 3’ (.4 to .9m)
AD + DD + SF < or = MRC
Persons with muscular, skeletal, or other physical disorders should
consult a physician before using. Pregnant women and minors must
never use this equipment. Increasing age and diminished physical
tness may reduce a person’s ability to withstand shock loads during
fall arrest or prolonged suspension. Consult a physician if there is any
question about a users physical ability to safely use this product to arrest
a fall or remain suspended.
2) FREE FALL:
Personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment should be
mounted overhead in such a way as to eliminate the possibility of a free
fall. Avoid working above the anchorage level to avoid an increased free
fall distance. Avoid working where your line may cross or tangle with that
of other workers or objects.
Do not allow the lifeline to pass under arms or between legs. Never
clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut. Avoid
slack line. Do not lengthen the SRL by connecting a lanyard or other
components without consulting Reliance.
3) FALL CLEARANCE:
There must be sufcient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before
the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. The clearance required
is dependent on the following factors (see Figure 6 for reference):
• Elevation of anchorage
• Connecting subsystem length
• Deceleration distance
• Free fall distance
• Worker height
• Movement of harness attachment element
