8.0 Inspection and Maintenance

8.1 Inspection and Operation Checkpoints
WARNING: The user must perform the following operation checkpoints and
inspections prior to each use. In addition, a competent person must inspect
equipment at regular intervals, at least annually.*
[*ANSI Z359.14 provides additional inspection requirements based on type of use and conditions of use.
Refer to 6.1 Inspection and Appendix A: Inspection Requirements for compliance with the standard.]
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:
Inspect the snap hook closely for damage, distortion,
cracks, corrosion, or pitted surfaces. The snap hook gate (keeper)
should seat into the nose without binding and should not be bent,
distorted or obstructed. The gate spring should exert sufficient force
to firmly close the gate. The gate locking mechanism must prevent
the gate from opening when closed. The snap hook swivel should
operate smoothly.
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.
6. Retrieval Mechanism:
working properly according to the operation instructions (see section 4.0 of this manual).
7. Labels/Markings: Make sure that all labels and markings are present and legible.
