INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The WORKMAN FP STRYDER is an anchor device with an anchor point for systems of the personal fall protection equipment, protecting against falling from heights. This personal protective equipment (PPE) complies with European Regulation (EU) 2016/425. The Declaration of Conformity can be found under the following link: https://MSAsafety.com/DoC. The D-ring is used for connection to a lanyard element of a personal fall arrest system. The Housing is used for connection to the I-beam anchorage. The Crossbar connects and provides the means for adjustment of the Housing, and anchors the D-ring connector. The D-ring connector connects the D-ring to the Crossbar, and provides an integral load indicator. The product is intended to be used as an anchorage point for either a shock absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline for fall arrest, or with a positioning lanyard for fall restraint, but shall not be used outside its limitations and intentions or for lifting purposes. The unit is designed to allow horizontal movement along the anchor beam. The I-beam end must closed and not opened (see FIG 6). The Anchorage Connectors are capable of withstanding a force of 22 kN without breaking.

When install the Anchorage connector, follow the sequence:

Step 1: To use the WORKMAN FP STRYDER, depress the buttons to unlock the jaws and slide the jaws far enough apart to fit over the flange of the I-beam anchorage (See FIG 2).
Step 2: Push the jaws together to capture the flange of the I-beam. Release the buttons to lock the jaw to the crossbar. Fine adjust the jaws to fit, by alternating locking the jaws in the differently placed slot in the crossbar (See FIG 3).
Step 3: Verify the jaws are locked into the crossbar (See FIG 4). The maximum total clearance between the jaws and the flange is 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) (See FIG 5), and the checking must be in all orientations to ensure no “take off” together. Then connect snap hook or carabiner of lanyard subsystem with the D-ring of the WORKMAN FP STRYDER. Be certain the snap hook or carabiner gate is completely closed and locked.
Procedure for inspection, Perform the following steps in sequence. If in doubt about any inspection point, consult MSA or a competent person who is qualified to perform Formal Inspection:

Step 1: Inspect the WORKMAN FP STRYDER labels to verify that they are present and legible. The labels should be present and the information contained thereon. Check the Formal Inspection Log to be sure a Formal Inspection has been performed within the last 12 months. If the Log does not indicate that a Formal Inspection has been performed within the last 12 months, or if any labels are missing or illegible, remove the device from use and mark it as “UNUSABLE” until a Formal Inspection is performed by a competent person.

Step 2: Check the auto close action of the button. Depress button with thumb, and ensure auto closing. If button fails these functional tests, return to maintain from service.

Step 3: Check for structural defects and corrosion. Verify that are no missing, loose screw or altered parts; that there are no cracks, deformations, or excessive corrosion.

Step 4: Inspect the D-ring for deformation, fractures, cracks, corrosion, deep pitting, burrs, sharp edges, cuts, deep nicks, and evidence of excessive heat or chemical exposures. Check the pin with screw for no deformation, fractures, cracks, corrosion, pitting and nicks. Verify the screw of the pin tightly. If the
screws which connected with pins are loose, remove the device from use and make It “UNUSABLE”.

Step 5: Inspect the load indicating D-ring connector for activation. If the device has been exposed to a fall arrest force the window will be deformed, remove the device from use and make it “UNUSABLE”.

Step 6: Inspect each component and subsystem of the complete system in accordance with the associated manufacturer’s instructions. It is the responsibility of the user of MSA Anchorage Connector to assure that they are made familiar with these User Instructions and trained by a competent person. Ensure that you have been adequately trained in the use of this Anchorage Connector equipment and make sure that you fully understand how it works. Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the WORKMAN FP STRYDER. More frequent inspections are required in these environments. Do not use in environments with temperatures greater than 185 ºF (85 ºC). Use caution when working around electrical hazards, moving machinery and abrasive surfaces. The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it; and that plan must take into account the equipment and special training necessary to effect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions. Assigning the Anchorage Connector to a user to allow tracking of Anchorage Connector usage is recommended. These instructions and record card should be issued with and kept with each Anchorage Connector. All components connected to this Anchorage Connector MUST be compatible. Anchor devices are only to be used with CE marked fall arrest systems, which will not generate forces in excess of 6 kN at the anchor device. Instructions and warnings of components used with this Anchorage Connector MUST be followed. Good medical fitness of the user is necessary in order to carry out work at a height. Certain medical conditions can threaten the users’ safety during normal use of Anchorage Connector and in emergencies (taking medications, cardiovascular problem, etc.). In any case of doubt, consult your physician before using. Pregnant women and minors MUST NEVER use the Anchorage Connector.

WARNINGS

A full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system. WORKMAN FP STRYDER must be used only for one person. Use the WORKMAN FP STRYDER only on horizontal beams. When attaching a fall arrest system, choose an anchorage point directly ABOVE the user’s position to minimize swing falls. Avoid any point on which strength is doubtful. Structural anchors provided for the purpose (in accordance with EN 795) or anchorage points with a minimum strength of 12 kN MUST be used. Potential for falls and fall distance MUST be minimized. The Anchorage Connector MUST be inspected before each use to verify that it is in serviceable condition. Additionally, the Anchorage Connector MUST be inspected once every 12 months by a competent person authorized by current legislation in the country of use. When inspection reveals sign of inadequate maintenance, the WORKMAN FP STRYDER must be immediately removed from service and marked as “UNUSABLE” until destroyed or subjected to corrective maintenance. Defects, damage, excessive wear, malfunction and aging are generally not repairable. If detected immediately remove the WORKMAN FP STRYDER from use and mark it as “UNUSABLE” until destroyed. For final disposition, submit the WORKMAN FP STRYDER to a competent person who is authorized to perform Formal Inspection. If there is any question as to reliability, contact MSA, or a service center authorized in writing by MSA, before further use of the device.
Consideration MUST be given to the necessary minimum clearance below the user to prevent a collision with the structure or the ground. DO NOT modify or attempt repairs on the Anchorage Connector. If the Anchorage Connector has been subjected to a fall arrest or impact forces, it MUST be immediately removed from use and destroyed. The capacity of the WORKMAN FP STRYDER must be greater or equal the sub-system components. DO NOT install or use where device may encounter electrical hazards. DO NOT use the MSA Anchorage Connector unless a qualified person has inspected the workplace and determined that identified hazards can be eliminated or exposures to them prevented. When installing or removing the Anchorage Connector, limit exposure to fall hazards. A separate independent fall arrest system may be required. DO NOT leave unattended loads on the Anchorage Connector. It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the reseller shall provide instructions and additional relevant information for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in the language of the country in which the product is to be used. Failure to follow these warnings or misuse can cause serious personal injuries or death.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Clean the Anchorage Connector with a solution of water and mild laundry detergent. Dry hardware with a clean cloth and hang Anchorage Connector to air dry. Do not speed dry with heat. Excessive accumulation of dirt, paint, or other foreign matter may prevent proper function of the Anchorage Connector. Questions concerning Anchorage Connector conditions for safe use and cleaning should be directed to MSA. Device which is damaged or is in need of maintenance must be tagged as “UNUSABLE” and removed from service. Corrective maintenance (other than cleaning) and repair, such as replacement of elements, must be performed by the MSA factory. Do not attempt field repairs. Store the Anchorage Connector in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where heat, moisture, light, and chemicals or their vapours or other degrading elements may be present. Device which is damaged or is in need of maintenance should not be stored in the same area as usable equipment. Heavily soiled, wet, or otherwise contaminated equipment should be properly maintained (e. g. dried and cleaned) prior to storage. Prior to using device which has been stored for long periods of time, a formal inspection should be performed by a competent person. Transport the Anchorage Connector in a package to protect it from cuts, moisture, chemicals and their vapours, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet rays. The maximum lifespan of the product is 10 years under condition that the product was not in use or very seldom in use and optimal storing conditions.
However, the primary indicator of fitness for use is the regular inspection of the product. Any product that does not pass inspection must be removed from service immediately regardless of its age. The following factors reduce the performance of the product and its lifespan: incorrect storage, incorrect use, wear and tear, contact with chemicals (acids and alkalis), exposure to high temperatures and UV radiation. More frequent inspections are required in these environments.
