6.0 Maintenance, Service, and Storage
6.1 Maintenance:
Ensure the SRL is kept free of excess paint, grease, dirt or other contaminants as this may cause
the lifeline or retracting mechanism to malfunction. Ensure no debris enters the housing. Clean the
exterior of the unit as required with a detergent/water solution. Do not allow water or other corrosion
causing elements to enter the housing. After cleaning, pull the lifeline all the way out, allow the unit to
air dry, then retract the lifeline into the unit. Clean labels as required.
DO NOT use heat to dry.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the SRL.
6.2 Service:
Remove the unit from service if it has been subjected to fall arrest force. Tag the unit as "UNUSABLE" to
prevent future use. The SRD is not repairable.
6.3 Storage:
Store the Arc Flash Mini Pro in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Position the SRL so
excess water can drain out. Avoid exposure to chemical or caustic vapors. Thoroughly inspect the SRL
after any period of extended storage.
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.
7.2 Inspection Frequency:
Inspection by a competent person at regular intervals is required. The competent person will use the
information in Table 2, SRL Inspection Recommendations, to determine the inspection frequency. Use
Table 2 to determine the inspection frequency. Inspection by a factory authorized inspection entity at
regular intervals is also recommended.
