Component: Inspection: Pass Fail
SRL
(Figure 11)
Inspect for loose fasteners and bent or damaged parts.
Inspect the Housing (A) for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
Inspect the Swivel (B) and Swivel Eye (C) and Carabiner (D) for distortion,
cracks, or other damage. The Swivel should be attached securely to the SRL,
but should pivot freely. The Swivel Eye or Integral Connector should rotate
freely in the Swivel.
The Web Lifeline (E) should pull out and retract fully without hesitation or
creating a slack line condition.
Ensure the SRL locks up when the Lifeline is jerked sharply. Lockup should be
positive with no slipping.
All labels must be present and fully legible (see Figure 14).
Inspect the entire SRL for signs of corrosion.
Web Lifeline
(Figure 12)
Inspect the web lifeline for concentrated wear, frayed strands, broken yarn,
burns, cuts, and abrasions. The lifeline must be free of knots throughout its
length. Inspect for excessive soiling, paint build-up, and rust staining. Inspect
for chemical or heat damage indicated by brown, discolored, or brittle areas.
Inspect for ultraviolet damage indicated by discoloration and the presence of
splinters and slivers on the lifeline surface.
Load Indicator
(Figure 13)
Inspect the Load Indicator to determine if it has been activated. There should
be no evidence of elongation and the cover should be secure and free of tears
or other damage.
End Connectors
(Figure 1)
Figure 1 identifies the End Connectors that should be included on your Rebel
SRL model. Inspect Snap Hooks, Carabiner, Rebar Hooks, etc. for signs of
damage, corrosion, and proper working condition. Where present: Swivels
should rotate freely, and Carabiner and Hook Gates should open, close, lock,
and unlock properly.
