8.0 Inspection and Maintenance

inspections prior to each use. In addition, a competent person must inspect
equipment at regular intervals, at least annually.*
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when inspecting wire rope/cable units;
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 braking mechanism can be tested by grasping the lifeline ABOVE
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
gate. The gate locking mechanism must prevent the gate from opening when closed. The snap
hook swivel should operate smoothly.
5. Load Indicator: Inspect the load indicator for signs of activation.
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: Ensure that the retrieval mechanism
and associated components are 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.
UNITS THAT DO NOT PASS INSPECTION OR HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO
THE FORCES OF ARRESTING A FALL OR AFFECTING A RESCUE
MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE.
