Maintenance, Service and Storage 

Maintenance: 

Clean the horizontal lifeline with water and mild detergent. Do not allow excessive build-up of dirt, paint or other agents that 
may cause damage or hardening of the rope fibers. Do not treat the lifeline with heat to dry or clean the lifeline. Hardening of 
the ropes fibers from external elements may result in a loss of strength or alter the properties of the rope in a manner that 
could cause the HLL to fail to operate or perform properly.

 

Service: 

There are no specific service requirements for this system component.

 

Storage: 

The system should be stored in its carry bag and kept out of direct sunlight. Store in a clean, dry and chemical free environment.

7.0Inspection 

1.

 

Pre-Use Inspection: 

Prior to each use the HLL system should be inspected by the user for damage, wear and to ensure the lifeline is 

properly tensioned. Please review the inspection checklist for inspection requirements. 

2.

 

Inspection Frequency: 

Other than pre-use inspection, the PALMER SAFETY 2-Person Temporary HLL should be inspected by a competent 

person at least once a year. 

3.

 

Inspection Checklist: 

A general inspection should be done at the intervals specified in this manual. Inspect as follows: 

Step 1: 

Inspect labels. Ensure legibility of content. If labels are missing or illegible, remove the system from service.

 

Step 2: 

Inspect all metal components for cracks, corrosion, deformities, missing parts or noticeable defects. Metal components include 

O-rings, carabiners, thimble eyes, rope tensioner, D-rings, ferrules etc.

 

Step 3: 

Inspect rope for wear, paying special attention to the areas of rope most likely in contact with the tensioner teeth. Rope should 

not present frayed strands, cuts, abrasions, burn marks, and discoloration indicating UV damage.* Thimble eyes should be firmly in place 
and there should be no build-up of foreign matter such as paint, dirt, rust, concrete or cement etc.

 

*Minor fuzziness of rope of rope is acceptable so long as the inner white core of the rope is not openly exposed.

 

4.

 

Inspection Results: 

Inspection results should be recorded by a competent person at least once a year. 

5.

 

Inspection Document: 

Record inspection results on the inspection record provided below, or similar document.
