7.0 Inspection
7.1 Pre-Use User Inspection:
Perform an inspection before each use in accordance with the recommendations in Table 1 below.
Inspection
The web lifeline should extract and retract completely and without faltering and should
remain taut under tension without sagging.
Extract the web lifeline several inches and apply a firm pull to confirm the SRD locks. The
locking should be certain and without skidding. Repeat this lockup at additional places along
the lifeline length to confirm the SRD is operating correctly.
Examine the energy absorber on the lifeline to be certain that it has not been activated.
Review the web lifeline closely for wear created by abrasion, tattered yarns, unraveled
strands, burns, and cuts. Also examine for knots, rust, dirt, paint, and grease or oil. Check
for damage caused by chemical corruption or excessive heat as evident with discoloration.
Examine for extreme exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet as demonstrated by desiccation.
Check for any missing or loose screws or nuts and any deformed or damaged components.
Examine the external housing for cracks, breaks, or warping.
Review the integral anchor loop and Connector for damage and deformation. The anchor
loop should rotate smoothly and be joined firmly to the housing. The Connector should also
rotate smoothly within the anchor loop.
Examine the overall SRD unit for any indications of deterioration or damage.
All labels must be intact and totally readable (see Section 8)
If an inspection reveals defects or damage to the equipment, remove the equipment from service.
