IF THE FALL ARREST SYSTEM IS USED TO ARREST A FALL OR IS OTHERWISE DAMAGED,
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED AND THE PLATFORM FULLY INSPECTED.
REFER TO THE SERVICE MANUAL.
Prior to Use Inspection
Fall arrest systems must be inspected prior to each use. Replace if
there are any signs of wear or damage to any of the components.
Prior to use inspection should include a visual inspection of the
following items:
Cable: Proper tension, broken strands, corrosion.
Fittings: Loose fittings and fractures, damage to
hanger
Transfastener: Damage, free and proper sliding
Attaching Hardware: Loose, missing, properly
tightened
Inspecting Cable Tension and Slip Indicator
Cable tension is adjusted by using the Line Tenser. The Line
Tenser is the disc at the end of the cable (shown below). When
proper tension is achieved, the disc will spin by hand. When less
than proper tension is present the disc will not turn by hand. The
cable will stretch normally over time. In order to tension the cable
the turnbuckle can be tightened. Rotate the turnbuckle until the
proper tension is achieved.
