2.2
CHECKING THE ENERGY ABSORBER (IF PRESENT)
• WEBBING - Make sure there are no cuts, abrasions, unravellings, wear, corrosion or traces of chemical substances.
• STICHTINGS - Make sure there are no cuts, abrasions, pulled or loose threads, wear, corrosion or traces of chemical
substances. Make sure there are no tears in the stitching at the start of the energy absorber due to having arrested a fall.
• PROTECTION SHEATH - Check that the protection is present and under such condition to allow the inspection of the
underlying webbing, verifying the label legibility.
In case you find any damages, you must proceed with the replacement by means of the proper spare part (energy absorber with
integrated connectore, screw and nut).
2.3
CHECKING THE CONNECTOR (IF PRESENT)
• Verify the presence of the EN 362 connector the device comes equipped with, and the presence of the metal cable that
connects the connector to SKC device.
• Check the condition of the connector by following the relevant inspection procedure and the instructions for use.
3) FUNCTIONAL CHECK
3.1
CHECKING THE DEVICE'S MOVING PARTS
• LOCKING CAM - Check the cam can move freely and without sticking. If necessary, clean it with compressed air and lubricate
with a silicon-based oil spray, according to the device's instructions for use.
Important! If the cam is seized or doesn't move freely, the device will not lock on the cable, risk of death.
• SAFETY LEVER - The lever must rotate without sticking. Check the spring is working correctly to automatically return the lever
to the locking position. Check the cable doesn't exit from its housing. If necessary lubricate the lever pin. Check the rotation of
the built-in small roller.
• ONEWAY SYSTEM (only for SKC EVO model) - The Oneway System must rotate without sticking. When the device is turned
upside down the ONEWAY system must prevent the opening movement of the cam.
• FORK FOR WEBBING CONNECTION (only for SKC EVO model) - The fork must rotate without sticking.
3.2
CHECKING DEVICE MOVES FREELY ON CABLE
Attach the device to a suitable-diameter cable fixed an anchor point. Slide the fall arrester along the cable, pulling it by the
connector to check that it runs freely both upwards and downwards. This check must be carried out using the Ø 8 mm metal cable
recommended in the instructions for use.
3.3
CHECKING LOCKING
With the fall arrester attached to the cable from the previous test (if there is no connector, insert a compatible connector into the
connector hole) pull the device sharply downwards to make sure it immediately and effectively locks on the cable. Unlocking the
device is only possible when you unload it. This check must be carried out using the Ø 8 mm metal cable recommended in the
instructions for use.
The examiner's verdict on the severity of the anomaly must be based on objective criteria and the specific training received.
The producer accepts no responsibility deriving from inexact information recorded by the user or servicer.
