. TRAINING

familiar with these instructions and are trained in the proper use, installation, maintenance and limitations of
this product. Training should be conducted periodically and without exposing the trainee to a fall hazard.
IV
. INSPECTION
The Miller ShadowLite™ beam anchor is designed for today’s rugged work environments. To
maintain the service life and high performance, the beam anchor should be inspected frequently. Inspect the
unit thoroughly before each use. Regular inspection by a competent person for wear, damage or corrosion
should be a part of your safety program. Inspect your equipment daily and replace it if any of the defective
conditions explained in this manual are found.
When inspecting, check for physical damage, wear, and corrosion. Also check the anchorage
connector and components for damage, cracks, wear, corrosion, or malfunctioning items.
Confirm proper operation/engagement of the ratchet mechanism by sliding the ADJUSTABLE
FOOT back and forth a few times and noting proper operation of the RATCHET RELEASE BUTTON. The
button is spring-loaded and should engage each successive ratchet pocket positively and securely. Dirt and
debris that has become lodged in the ratchet slots of the support shaft, or under the RATCHET RELEASE
BUTTON itself, will prevent safe operation of the unit. See Section V. Maintenance for cleaning details.
A qualified person trained in inspection should keep a log of all inspection dates for this system.
WARNING: Failure of the Ratchet Button Spring will render the Unit
UNSAFE FOR USE!
If inspection reveals a defect in condition or operation
REMOVE THE UNIT FROM SERVICE IMMEDIATELY!
