slight pressure on the system structure, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Inspect 

cables, for kinks (A), cut or broken wires (B), bird-caging (C), welding 

splatter (E), corrosion, chemical contact areas, or severely abraded areas. 

(see Diagram 1).

Rail Support

Check the Rail Support (A) for structural defects or damage including 

bends, corrosion, etc.
Inspect fasteners on Rail Supports to ensure they are tight.

Visually inspect the Gussets (B) for straightness. Ensure there is no visible 

deformation or bend, indicating previous exposure to fall arrest forces.

Glide Rail 

Assembly

(Diagram 3)

Visually inspect fasteners (A) on the Glide Rail to ensure they are tight.

Inspect the Rail Track (B) for structural defects. Rail Track must be straight 

without any bends or dents.
Visually inspect the Glide Four-Wheel Trolleys (C) for damage to the trolley 

and excessive wheel wear. Ensure the Trolleys roll freely in Glide Rail and 

the wheels are securely attached.

Adjustable Upright 

Assembly

(Diagram 4)

Inspect the Adjustable Upright Assembly for defects or structural damage 

including bends, corrosion, etc.
Inspect fasteners on Upright Assemblies to ensure they are tight.

manufacturer.

Periodically apply grease to the Grease Zerk (B) to lubricate the internal 

Hitch Ball Pivot

Lifting Mechanism

(Diagram 5)

Inspect the Brake Wear Indicators (A) while lowering the Jib Boom. If the 

Brake Wear Indicator is in the Red zone (B), remove the Drive Mechanism 

from service and contact the manufacturer.
Inspect fasteners on the Drive Mechanism to ensure they are tight.

Inspect the Drive Chain (C) for slack. De

fl
