requirements
established by current safety standards. The
inspection criteria for the equipment shall be
set by the user's organization, such that it
equals or exceeds the criteria required by the
manufacturer and the standards with which
the organization elects to comply.
Equipment shall be thoroughly inspected
and operationally tested by the user before
each use, and additionally, by a competent
person, other than the user, at regular
intervals of no more than one year for:
*ANSI

requirements based on type of use and conditions
of use. Refer to Table 2: ANSI Z359.14 Appendix
A: Inspection Requirements for compliance with this
standard. (*See note in 6.2 Maintenance.)
Absence or illegibility of markings/labels.
Absence of any elements affecting the

broken or pulled stitches.
CAuTION:
Always wear gloves when
inspecting cable lifelines; broken strands
can cause injury!

operational damage to the lifeline.
Retraction - With the device in a mounted po-
sition, test the lifeline retraction and tension by
pulling out several feet of the lifeline and allow
to retract back into the unit. Always maintain a
light tension on the lifeline as it retracts. The
lifeline should pull out freely and retract all the
way back into the unit. If the lifeline does not
criteria
pull out smoothly or sticks when retracting,
pull all the lifeline out of the housing and allow
it to retract slowly under tension. Do not use
the unit if the lifeline does not retract properly.
CAuTION: Do not let go of the lifeline and
let it retract on its own; always maintain
tension while it retracts!
Lockup Mechanism - The braking mecha-
nism can be tested by grasping the lifeline
AboVe the load indicator and applying a sharp
steady pull downward which will engage the
inspection
brakes. There should be no slippage of the life-
line while the brakes are engaged. once ten-
sion is released, the brakes will disengage and
the unit will return to the retractable mode.
evidence of defects in or damage to
hardware elements including cracks, breaks,
rough or sharp edges, deformation, corrosion,
chemical attack, excessive heating, pitted
surfaces, alteration, and excessive wear.
operational damage to the hardware.
Snap Hook/Carabiner/Rebar Hook - The
connector gate (keeper) should seat into the
nose without binding and should not be dis-
torted or obstructed. The gate spring should
exert sufficient force to firmly close the gate.
The gate locking mechanism must prevent the
gate from opening when closed.
Swivels - The connector and anchorage swiv-
els should operate smoothly.
