5.0 Inspection and Maintenance
Miller harnesses and body belts are designed for today's rugged work environments. To maintain
their service life and high performance, harnesses and body belts should be inspected frequently.
Inspect thoroughly before each use. Regular inspection by a competent person for wear, damage
or corrosion should be a part of your safety program. Replace the equipment if any of the defective
conditions explained in this manual are found.
5.1 Harness and Body Belt Inspection
Perform the following procedures:
Webbing/Stitches
1
Grasp the webbing with your hands 6 inches (152mm) to
8 inches (203mm) apart. Bend the webbing in an inverted "U"
as shown. The surface tension resulting makes damaged fibers
or cuts easier to detect. Follow this procedure the entire length
of the webbing, inspecting both sides of each strap. Watch for
frayed edges, broken fibers, pulled stitches, cuts, burns, and
chemical damage.
D-Rings/Pads
2
Check D-rings for distortion, cracks, breaks, and rough or
sharp edges. The D-ring should pivot freely. Inspect for any
unusual wear, frayed or cut fibers, or broken stitching of the
D-ring attachments. Pads should also be inspected for cracks,
excessive wear, or other signs of damage.
Buckles
3
Inspect for any unusual wear, frayed or cut fibers, or broken
stitching of the buckle attachments.
Tongue Buckles/Grommets
4
Buckle tongues should be free of distortion in shape and motion.
They should overlap the buckle frame and move freely back and
forth in their socket. Roller should turn freely on frame. Check
for distortion or sharp edges. Inspect for loose, distorted or
broken grommets. Webbing should not have additional punched
holes.
Friction and Slotted Mating Buckles
5
Inspect the buckle for distortion. The outer bars and center bars
must be straight. Pay special attention to corners and attach-
ment points at the center bar.
Quick-Connect Buckles
6
Inspect the buckle for distortion. The outer bars and center bars
must be straight. Make sure dual-tab release mechanism is free
of debris and engages properly.
