Kingspan SafePro 2
Anchor and Cable System
5.1 Inspection and General Maintenance
The Kingspan SafePro 2 Anchor has been designed to be used
under a variety of conditions. It uses high-grade components
that are corrosion resistant. However, the Anchors working life
depends on factors such as correct care and maintenance and
the environment in which the system is installed. Before each
occasion of use a visual check must be conducted to ensure the
Anchor is fit for purpose.
The Anchor attachment eye should be free to rotate and all the
fixing should be firmly secure. If the anchor is bent or deformed
in a way which is uncharacteristic of the Anchor you should not
use it. Report the faults to the Kingspan Certified Installer and
schedule a maintenance visit.
DO NOT attempt to repair the Anchor(s) yourself, as this may
invalidate performance warranties and put personnel in danger.
The SafePro 2 Anchor is virtually maintenance free dependent
on environment. Occasionally the Anchor may need cleaning.
This should be done with a soft brush, warm water and a
mild detergent. Ensure the parts are thoroughly rinsed with
plenty of clean water. Although highly resistant to chemicals
and environmental conditions, take all precautions to avoid
contaminating the Anchor(s) with acids, bitumen, cement,
chloride, paint or aggressive cleaning fluids.
Stainless Steel parts are particularly susceptible to pitting
corrosion from chlorine, so avoid exposure in this type of
environment.
If the system is likely to be contaminated, please contact your
Kingspan Certified Installer or Kingspan for advice.
5.0 Inspection, Maintenance, Servicing &
Warranty
5.2 Servicing
In accordance with manufacturers recommendations and
current national standards, an Anchor that is in regular use
should be inspected at least once a year by a Certified Kingspan
Installer. In very high use applications or aggressive environments
the servicing interval should be more frequent as determined
by the installer. The Anchor(s) is unlike other anchorages and
has many unique features, therefore only Certified Kingspan
Installers who have been trained and certified should inspect this
product.
A maintenance checklist is provided to our trained installers to
use during annual inspections. Please see Section 9.0 in this
manual.
If the Anchor(s) has sustained a fall arrest impact, has been
damaged, or is defective in any way, it must be immediately
categorised as unfit for use. The use of the system must be
discontinued, and servicing should be arranged as soon as
possible. All servicing requirements should be directed to
Kingspan or their Certified Installer.
5.3 Warranty
Full details of the warranty terms and exclusions are available
under the SafePro 2 Cable System warranty, which is available as
a separate document.
