the rope locking position; the cams teeth are present and
show no signs of wear; the connector placed in the at-
tachment slot is free to rotate unimpeded; the karabiners
lock properly; no dirt on the device (ex. sand); check the
rope for signs of abrasion, corrosion, frying yarns and,
stitches or swages, are in good state; carry out a function
test before loading the device; make sure there is enough
space below the user at the work station to prevent him
from colliding with the ground or other obstacles in the
