Inspection And Maintenance - Honeywell MILLER MIGHTEVAC Gebrauchsanweisung

7.0 TRAINING
The purchaser of this equipment must ensure that all personnel using this equipment are familiar
with these instructions and are properly trained in the operation, limitations, installation, inspec-
tion and maintenance of this product. Training should be conducted periodically and without ex-
posing the trainee to a fall hazard.
NOTE: Excessive training on this device will cause the gears in the unit to wear, thus reducing its
life expectancy and will consequently require more frequent servicing. The retrieval mechanism
in this device is for emergency use only. Do not use for routine hoisting of personnel or materials.
Honeywell Miller Training can provide the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve a safe, more
productive work environment.

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.*
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 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
be bent, distorted or obstructed. The gate spring should exert suffi cient force to fi rmly 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: Inspect the load indicator for signs of activa-
tion. 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 op-
eration instructions (see section 4.0 of this manual).
7. Labels/Markings: Make sure that all labels and markings are
present and legible.
