Buckingham’s P/N 102SR Series Self - Rescue Kit has been designed to provide a means for a worker to rescue himself
in the event of a fall from an aerial bucket. The kit and any of its components must not be used for any other purpose.
The P/N 102SR Series Self-Rescue Kit contains the following components:
• One 14 step web ladder (15 ft.) with a carabiner or optional locking snap hook (model 102SRS)
section for attachment to an anchor point.
• One tag line (1” black herringbone webbing) terminating with a key chain carabiner.
• Storage bag
USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF RESCUE
• Attach the Self Rescue Unit to the boom using the straps with quick connect buckles and locate it adjacent to the fall
arrest attachment anchor point.
• Connect the carabiner or locking snap hook to the anchor point.
• Fasten the key chain carabiner attached to the 1” black web tag line of the Self Rescue Unit to the harness.
(Note: The tag lines only purpose is to deploy the Self Rescue Device in the event of a fall out of the bucket,
therefore enabling the individual to climb back to the bucket.)
