Honeywell MILLER DuraSeal 1034130-E Allgemeine Hinweise Zur Benutzung Seite 20

Equipment shall be thoroughly inspected and operationally tested by the user
before each use, and additionally, by a competent person, other than the user, at
regular intervals of no more than one year for:
• Absence or illegibility of markings/labels.(check that next inspection date is not
overdue)
• Absence of any elements affecting the equipment form, fit or function.
• Evidence of defects in or damage to the cable lifeline (or cable sling) including
cuts, broken strands, corrosion, kinks, abrasion, chemical attack, alteration,
excessive aging, and excessive wear.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when inspecting cable lifelines; broken
strands can cause injury!
• Operational damage to the cable lifeline.
Retraction - With the device in a 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 lifeline 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 lifeline does not
retract properly.
CAUTION: Do not let go of the lifeline and let it retract on its own; always maintain
tension while it retracts!
Lockup 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 cable while the
brakes are engaged. Once tension is released, the brakes will disengage and the
unit will return to the retractable mode.
• Evidence of defects in or damage to hardware elements including cracks,
breaks, rough or sharp edges, deformation, corrosion, chemical attack,
excessive heating, pitted surfaces, alteration, and excessive wear.
Operational damage to the hardware.
Snap Hook/Carabiner - The snap hook/carabiner gate (keeper) should seat
into the nose without binding and should not be 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.
Swivels - The snap hook and anchorage swivels should operate smoothly.
• Evidence of defects in or damage to the sealed housing and/or loose/missing
fasteners.
• Evidence of deployed or activated fall load indicators.
The snap hook load impact indicator is built into
the swivel part of the snap hook. The swivel eye will elongate and expose a red
area at the location illustrated when subjected to fall arrest forces.
