7.0 INSPECTION
7.1 BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. Inspect the unit to ensure it has not been damaged and that the unit pays out
and retracts properly. Prior to each use, the braking system must be inspected. Grasp the body of the unit in one hand and the cable/web in the other.
With a quick, jerking motion, pull down on the web/cable. The brake should engage, stopping movement almost immediately. Inspect the webbing
and/or cable (using the Inspection Checklist on Page 16) and ensure that all connection hardware is working properly. Brake failure or unsatisfactory
results during any portion of the inspection, require immediate removal of the SRL from service. Figure 13 points out key inspection areas of the
Latitude Pro Arc Flash series of SRLs.
Store Safewaze SRLs in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL
after any period of extended storage.
Remove the SRL from use if the SRL has been subjected to fall arrest forces or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition. If unrepairable
dispose of the SRL as recommended in Section 7.5.
Cleaning procedures for Safewaze SRLs are as follows:
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Clean labels to maintain readability. Allow excess water to freely drain
out of housing.
An excessive buildup of debris on the webbing may prevent the web lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing and create a potential free fall
hazard. Clean the web with a water and mild soap solution. Allow webbing to dry fully before retracting back into housing. DO NOT use heat to force
dry the webbing.
IMPORTANT:
If the lifeline comes in contact with acids or other caustic chemicals, remove the SRL from service and wash with
water and a mild soap solution. Inspect the SRL using the Inspection Form on Page 16 before returning to service.
7.2 INSPECTION FREQUENCY
Safewaze SRLs must be inspected at the intervals defined in Section 2.0. Inspection procedures are described in the “Inspection Checklist”
(See Page 16). Annual inspections by a Competent Person other than the user must be recorded in the Inspection Log on (Page 17) of this manual.
