• Prior to each use, inspect the Lodestar for possible deficiencies including, but not
limited to, missing parts, corrosion, deformation, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp
edges, cracking, rust, paint buildup, excessive heating, alteration, and missing
or illegible labels. Inspect all components of the device including the housing,
connectors, fasteners, labels, and entire length of lifeline.
• Prior to each use, the user must inspect and verify that each individual
component (Image 2) of the Lodestar is safe for use:
1. The cable from the unit should pay out and retract smoothly.
a. Pull the lifeline sharply to test its locking function.
b. The lifeline should lock, and subsequently retract, smoothly and
completely back into the unit without hesitation or stoppage.
c. Inspect the entire length of lifeline for any damage including, but not
limited to, fraying, crushing, bird caging, chemical exposure, heat/
welding spatter, and kinking. The user should always wear gloves
when inspecting the lifeline to prevent injury in the event of cable
