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.

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.
