INSPECTION STEPS:
Step 1.
Inspect the frame system for physical damage. Look carefully for any signs of cracks, dents, or
deformities in the metal. Make certain the components are not deformed in any way and that they
move correctly.
Step 2.
Inspect the frame system for signs of excessive corrosions.
Step 3.
Ensure the condition of the mounting surface will support system loads.
Step 4.
Inspect each system component or subsystem (e.g. self-retracting lifeline, full body harness, etc.)
per associated manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 5.
If the Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System includes the hydraulic adjustment option, inspect all
hoses and
fi
ttings for cracks, damage, or excessive wear. Inspect the lever lock mechanisms on
all legs for proper functionality. Inspect the power unit per the manufacturer’s instructions. If any
part of the system inspection uncovers questionable conditions, remove the system from service
and contact Capital Safety.
Step 6.
Record the inspection date on the inspected equipment. Record the inspection date and results on
the “Inspection and Maintenance Log at the back of this manual”.
IMPORTANT:
Only Capital Safety or parties authorized in writing may make repairs to this equipment.
MAINTENANCE - SERVICING - STORAGE
WHEEL MAINTENANCE:
If the wheel assembly has grease zerks, ensure they are properly greased every six
months.
NOTE:
Not all Boxed-Frame models have a grease zerk for the wheel assembly. If the Boxed-Frame wheel
assembly doesn’t have a grease zerk, then the wheel assembly should not be greased.
JACK MAINTENANCE:
If the Top-Wind Jacks have grease zerks, ensure they are properly greased every month.
NOTE:
Not all Boxed-Frame models have a grease zerk for the Top-Wind Jacks. If the Top-Wind Jack doesn’t
have a grease zerk, then the jack assembly should not be greased.
CLEANING:
Clean the Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System with a mild soap detergent solution. Excessive
buildup of dirt, tar, etc. may prevent the system from working properly. If you have any questions concerning the
condition of your frame system or have any doubt about putting it into service, contact Capital Safety.
NOTE:
Additional maintenance and servicing procedures (i.e. replacement parts) must be completed by a
factory authorized service center. Authorization must be in writing.
STORAGE:
The Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System is designed for storage outdoors during normal weather
conditions. If the weather environment is severe, it is recommended to store the Boxed-Frame system in an area
that prevents damage to the system.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS (if so equipped):
Hydraulic Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest Systems must have roller
assemblies and moving parts lubricated with a non-corrosive lube every 20 cycles or monthly (whichever comes
fi
rst). Refer to the hydraulic system manufacturer’s product instructions for additional maintenance and service
information, including recommended power unit maintenance.
The hydraulic system’s power unit must be stored indoors in a dry, clean environment.
IMPORTANT:
Additional maintenance and servicing of the hydraulic system (parts replacement, etc) must be
performed by a factory authorized service center. Authorization must be in writing.
