FORMAL INSPECTION PROCEDURAL STEPS
Step 1:
Record on the LOG the Model No., Serial No. and Date Made information shown on this user instruction
and from the product labels. Record the inspector’s name and inspection date.
Step 2:
Starting with the metallic category of parts shown on the LOG, inspect each part (inspection point)
one at a time. Refer to the DIAGRAM for identifi cation of each Inspection Point. Eachpart must be
inspected for the possible presence of the conditions shown on the CHECKLIST. Enter in the Condition
column on the LOG the proper Condition Code (listed on the CHECKLIST) or “FAIL” if a defect exists.
If there is any question whether the Lynx Tripod condition has materially changed since the last Formal
Inspection, retrieve and review the prior Formal Inspection records for the specifi c Lynx Tripod.
Step 3:
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the non-metallic categories of part types.
Step 4:
Determine whether the part (inspection point) is acceptable or not acceptable. If a Priority 1 inspection
point has a defective condition, enter in the Overall Assessment column of the LOG the proper code
taken from the CHECKLIST (e.g. MN, NN) or simply “FAIL.” For Priority 2 inspection points, count
the number of defective conditions identifi ed in the Condition column of the LOG. If there is a total
of three or more defective conditions for Priority 2 inspection points the Lynx Tripod is not acceptable
for further use.
Step 5:
Determine disposition of the Lynx Tripod. If in step 5 it has been determined that the Lynx Tripod is
not acceptable, enter “N” or “FAIL” in the Disposition space on the LOG. In addition, a notation should
be made in this space as to whether the Lynx Tripod is to be destroyed, returned to manufacturer/
distributor, etc.
Step 6:
If in step 5 it has been determined that the Lynx Tripod is acceptable for further use, enter “A” or
“PASS” in the Disposition space on the LOG. Mark the Formal Inspection Grid on the appropriate
Lynx Tripod label with the date (month/year) corresponding to the inspection date to indicate to Lynx
Tripod users that the product has passed inspection as of that date.
Step 7:
File the LOG for future reference.
