ROPE LIFELINE SYSTEM
USER INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH
3. Inspect the rope for concentrated wear. The material must be
free of frayed strands, broken yarns, cuts, abrasions, burns,
and discoloration. The rope must be free of knots, excessive
soiling, heavy paint buildup, and rust staining. Rope splices
must be tight, with five full tucks, and thimbles must be held
by the splice. Cracked or distorted rope thimbles may indicate
that the lifeline has been impact loaded. Check for chemical or
heat damage (indicated by brown, discolored, or brittle areas).
Check for ultraviolet damage, indicated by discoloration and
the presence of splinters and slivers on the rope surface. All of
the above factors are known to reduce rope strength. Damaged
or questionable ropes must be replaced.
4. Check all stitching for any broken threads.
5. Check all hardware for cracks, bends,
irregularities, corrosion, or sharp edges.
Check the snap hook gates for proper smooth
operation. The gates must close and lock and the
primary gate must not open unless the locking
gate is depressed. Ensure the mechanism is
undamaged and functioning properly.
6. Check all plastic parts for damage or cracks. If any abnormalities
are found, the product should be removed from service.
7. Verify that all labels are in place and legible. Examples of
the labels can be found in section V of these instructions.
If abnormalities are found in any of these areas then the
competent person should be consulted to determine if that item
is safe for continued use or if it should be removed from service.
Warning:
No alteration or modification of any fall protection equipment
is permitted for any reason unless authorized in writing by Werner Co.
