WARNING!
ALWAYS FULLY INSPECT THE FOLLOWING:
5.1. System tension- Depending on the type of system tension indicator fitted this can be checked using
1 of 2 methods.
Tenser Disk
– This is generally located at the bottom of the system on the bottom anchor,
when the system is correctly tensioned, the disc will spin freely with up to 2 mm of vertical
movement. (On some installations the tenser disc may be located at the top of the system)
Visual tension indicator
– This component allows the user to check the system tension in
situations where it is impractical to reach a tension indicator disc from a position of safety.
If the system is incorrectly tensioned, inform the site supervisor or whoever is in charge of the
site.
5.2. Devices must be fully inspected to ensure that all moving parts are working correctly. The starwheel
must spin true and freely on its axle. Pressing the release catch must allow the starwheel to be
pulled out from the body, when the starwheel is released it must return to its original position, the
release catch will return and prevent the starwheel from being pulled out.
5.3. Signs of corrosion, wear, deformation or other defects to the device.
5.4. Check that the service date has not expired (see section 9, 10 & 11.).
