Tie-Back Cable
Inspect Turnbuckles for damage and proper adjustment.
and Turnbuckle
Assemblies
Check Tie-Back Cables for slack. Cables must be tight enough to apply
(Diagram 1)
slight pressure on the system structure, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Inspect
cables, for kinks (1), cut or broken wires (2), bird-caging (3), welding
splatter (4), corrosion, chemical contact areas, or severely abraded areas.
(see Diagram 1).
Rail Support
Check Rails Supports (1) for structural defects or damage including bends,
Assemblies
corrosion, etc.
(Diagram 2)
Inspect fasteners (2) on Rail Supports to ensure they are tight.
Visually inspect the Gussets (3) for straightness. Ensure there is no visible
deformation or bend, indicating previous exposure to fall arrest forces.
Trolley Rail
Visually inspect fasteners (1) on the Trolley Rail to ensure they are tight.
Assembly
(Diagram 3)
Inspect the Rail Track (2) for structural defects. Rail Track must be straight
without any bends or dents.
Visually inspect the Trolley Four-Wheel Trolleys (3) for damage to the
trolley and excessive wheel wear. Ensure the Trolleys roll freely in Trolley
Rail and the wheels are securely attached.
Upright Assemblies
Inspect the Vertical Uprights (1) and Carriages (2) for defects or structural
and Carriages
damage including bends, corrosion, etc.
(Diagram 4)
Inspect Carriage Rollers (3) for cracks, chips, or excessive wear.
;
Roller Grease Zerks (5) should be greased monthly, or more
frequently under extreme environmental conditions or heavy use.
Inspect fasteners on Uprights and Carriages to ensure they are tight.
;
Do not adjust Threaded Rods (4). They are preset by the
manufacturer.
Vertical Drive
Inspect the Brake Wear Indicators (1) while lowering the Work Platform.
Mechanisms
If the Brake Wear Indicator is in the Red zone (2), remove the Drive
(Diagram 5)
Mechanism from service and contact the manufacturer.
Inspect fasteners on the Drive Mechanism to ensure they are tight.
Visually inspect the Drive Connector Bar (3). The bar should be straight
and the connectors on each end should be tight.
Inspect the Drive Chain (4) for slack. Deflection of the chain should not be
more than 1/2 in (13 mm).
Lubricate the Drive Chain with light oil (5) and grease Bearings.
Base and Wheels
Inspect Base, Outriggers, and Tow Bar (if present) for structural damage
(Diagram 6)
including bends, dents, cracks, corrosion, etc.
Inspect the Leveling Jacks (3) for damage or deformities. Ensure crank
handles operate smoothly and that operation raises and lowers each Jack
properly.
Inspect the Pneumatic Wheels (1) and Caster Wheels (2) for damage or
deformities. Ensure wheels roll freely and that the brakes and locking
mechanism work properly. Grease wheel bearings if necessary.
Check for flats in the wheels.
Labels (Figure 12)
Verify that all labels are securely attached and are legible (see 'Labels').
PFAS and Other
Additional Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) equipment (harness, Self-
Equipment
Retracting Device, etc) that are used with the Flexiguard System should be
installed and inspected per the manufacturer's instructions.
