Ensure that the markings are visible at all times.
b) Before each use, carefully inspect the
XTIRPA
System and all components and parts thereof. Any
defective parts or components could result in serious injury or death.
c) ANSI, OSHA, CSA and CE require a regular inspection program for all confined space entry/retrieval
equipment and to maintain documented results of these inspections. Use the maintenance and inspection
logs included in this instruction and safety manual to document the results.
d) It is recommended that the anchoring device be marked with the most recent or next inspection date.
e) Remove the
XTIRPA
System from service if a problem or an unsafe or defective condition is found
during the inspection. Return to an authorized service center or the manufacturer for service.
f) Replacement components and parts and additional maintenance and servicing procedures must be
completed by an authorized service center which has been approved by the manufacturer, or by the man-
ufacturer itself.
g) If the adjustable support legs of the coupling system for vehicles and counterbalanced trucks do not
move freely, they must be lubricated with a light machine oil.
h) Establish a monthly inspection which should be done by a competent person (person who is familiar,
has been trained and has read and fully understands this instruction and safety manual), other than the
user.
i) Periodically clean the exterior of the davit arm and base, using water and mild detergent. Clean labels

m) All components and parts of the
XTIRPA
System should be stored in separate bags to facilitate
transport and handling.
