INSPECTION:
• Before each installation, inspect each system component in accordance with these and other
manufacturer's instructions. System components must be formally inspected by a competent person (other
than the user) at least annually. Formal inspections should concentrate on visible signs of deterioration or
damage to the system components. Items found defective must be replaced. Do not use components if
inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition. Record the inspection date and results in the inspection
and maintenance log in the general instruction (5902392).
• Installed systems, inspection of the HLL system by a competent person must be completed after the system
is installed. The system must be periodically inspected by a competent person when left installed for an
extended period, and prior to each day's use. Periodic inspections should be performed at least monthly, or
more frequently when site conditions and use warrant.
• Before each use, visually inspect per the following steps:
Step 1. Inspect all screws, bolts and nuts. Ensure they are securely attached and tight. Check to see if
any bolts, nuts or other parts are missing, or have been substituted or altered in any way. Inspect covers,
housings, guards, etc. Ensure they are free of cracks dents or other damage.
Step 2. Inspect all metal components for rust or corrosion that may affect their strength or operation.
Step 3. Inspect the wire rope for rust, corrosion, broken wires, or other obvious faults. Inspect the synthetic
rope for burnt, broken threads, or other obvious faults. Inspect all carabiners and connectors securing the HLL
assembly to ensure they are present and properly installed. Inspect the sleeves at the end of the lifeline for
damage such as cracks, dents or distortion.
Step 4. Inspect the impact indicator at the end of the lifeline. If the pin (S) is broken, the system has been
exposed to an impact force. The system must not be used if the indicator is broken. See Figure 7. Remove the
unit from service. The unit must be serviced by an authorized service center before reuse.
Step 5. Inspect the reserve lifeline payout. The horizontal lifeline has a 4.5 ft. (1.4 m) reserve at the end
of the lifeline. If a red band (T) attached around the rope is visible at the housing end of the lifeline, the
reserve has been compromised. See Figure 8. Remove the unit from service. The unit must be serviced by an
authorized service center before reuse.
Step 6. Pull sharply on the lifeline close to the device end to ensure that the lifeline is secured.
Step 7. Repeat "Installation" step 5 to ensure that the lifeline is under the correct tension. Do not apply extra-
tension on the lifeline during this operation unless it is necessary to make sure that the crank handle "clicks."

Step 8. Inspect system labels. The labels must be present and fully legible. Replace labels if missing or
illegible.
IMPORTANT: Extreme working conditions (harsh environment, prolonged use, etc.) may require increased
frequency of inspections.
WARNING: A system or a component that has sustained a fall or on which inspection leaves any doubt, must be
removed immediately from service. Only competent and skilled persons may decide on the possibility of return to
service, given in writing.
PRODUCT LIFE: As long as the EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline System passes inspection by a competent person, it
may remain in service.
CAPACITY: For a single span use, the maximum capacity of the Retractable Horizontal Lifeline System is two
persons. The maximum weight of each person including tools and clothing is 310 lbs. (141 kg).
