11 Maintenance checklist for the semi-
annual inspection
Components
All mechanical components are in good
order.
The textile fabrics exhibit no open gaps
or holes.
The elastic components continue to
offer adequate elastic recoil force.
The fastening buckles at the waist and
legs close tightly and securely.
The red freewheel rope is not damaged.
No abrasion chips emerge from the rope
guide tubes.
12 Wear parts
The following components are wear parts and should
be regularly checked:
Elastic force elements
After approximately 1 million load cycles, the elastic
components can lose their elasticity. In addition,
environmental influences such as UV radiation, high
operating temperatures or ozone ventilation can
negatively influence the service life. Please check the
elastic recoil force of the components during the semi-
annual inspection interval.
Freewheel rope and rope guide tubes:
On visual inspection, the force transmission
components must not exhibit any damage. Dirt can
cause signs of wear to appear in the course of the
service life.
In case of damage, please contact your Mafell
phone +49 (0)7423/812-260.
