5.0 INSPECTION

5.1  INSPECTION FREQUENCY:

 The Rebel SRL must be inspected at the intervals defined in “

Section 2.5 - 

Inspection Frequency”

. Inspection procedures are described in the 

“Inspection Checklist” 

(Table 2).

5.2  UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS:

 If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, If 

inspection reveals an unsafe condition, remove the SRL from service, mark 

“UNUSABLE”,

 and dispose of in 

the recommended manner (see 

“Section 5.4 - Disposal”

).

5.3  PRODUCT LIFE:

 The functional life of Rebel SRLs is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As 

long as the SRL passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.

5.4 DISPOSAL:

 Dispose of the Rebel SRL if it has been subjected to fall force or inspection reveals an unsafe or 

defective condition. Before disposing of the SRL, cut the Load Indicator off of the Web Lifeline or otherwise 

disable the SRL to eliminate the possibility of inadvertent reuse.

6.0  MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, AND STORAGE

6.1 CLEANING:

 Cleaning procedures for the Rebel SRL are as follows:

•  Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRL so 

excess water can drain out. Clean labels as required.

•  Clean the Web Lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry 

with heat. The lifeline should be dry before allowing it to retract into the housing. An excessive buildup 

of dirt, paint, etc. may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a potential 

free fall hazard. 

IMPORTANT:

 If the lifeline contacts acids or other caustic chemicals, remove the SRL from service 

and wash with water and a mild soap solution. Inspect the SRL per Table 2 before returning to 

service.

6.2 SERVICE:

 Rebel SRLs are not repairable. If the SRL has been subjected to fall force or inspection reveals 

an unsafe or defective condition, remove the SRL from service, mark 

“UNUSABLE”,

 and dispose of in the 

recommended manner (see 

“Section 5.4 - Disposal”

).

6.3 STORAGE:

 Store Rebel SRLs in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where 

chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL after any period of extended storage.
