7.0 Inspection and Maintenance

7.1 Inspection and Operation Checkpoints
WARNING: The following inspection and operation checkpoints must be
done prior to each use.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when inspecting wire rope/cable units;
broken strands can cause injury!
1. Device Housing and Parts/Mounting Bracket: Inspect the unit for loose fasteners and bent,
cracked, distorted, worn, malfunctioning or damaged parts.
2. Lifeline:
a. With the device in the mounted position, test the lifeline retraction and tension by pulling out several
feet of the cable and allow to retract back into the unit. Always maintain a light tension on the cable
as it retracts. The lifeline should pull out freely and retract all the way back into the unit.
If the lifeline does not pull out smoothly or sticks when retracting, pull all the cable out of the
housing and allow it to retract slowly under tension. Do not use the unit if the lifelines does not
retract properly.
b. The lifeline should be checked regularly for signs of damage. Inspect entire length for cuts, burns,
corrosion, kinks, frays, worn areas, broken strands or chemical damage.
3. Braking Mechanism:
the load indicator and applying a sharp steady pull downward which will engage the brakes.
There should be no slippage of the lifeline while the brakes are engaged. Once tension is
released, the brakes will disengage and the unit will return to the retractable mode.
4. Snap Hook:
locks, and the swivel operates smoothly. Inspect the snap hook
for any signs of damage to the keeper and any bent, cracked, or
distorted components.
5. Load Indicator:
The load indicator is located in the swivel of the snap hook. The
swivel eye will elongate and expose a red area at the location
illustrated when subjected to fall arresting forces.
