APPLICATIONS GUIDE
A copy of the Declaration of Conformity, supplied with the system or
evidence (such as a Certificate of Examination) that a thorough
examination has been carried out by a competent person should be kept
with the log book. No system should ever be deployed without being
accompanied by either of these documents.
After prolonged touring use, flying systems should be removed and
carefully inspected.
During inspection between tours, the system should preferably be set up
and suspended as if it were about to be used. All moving parts should be
examined for free movement, looseness, or signs of wear on adjacent or
mating surfaces.
All quick release pins should move freely and operate correctly, again
checking for signs of deformation or undue wear. On releasing the rear
splay arm, the arm should disengage and rotate easily and positively lock
into place when re set. The sliding tongue at the front of the enclosure
should move freely and be examined for signs of deformation or undue
wear.
A close visual inspection should be made of the entire surface of the bars -
points to look out for are any signs of buckling, twisting or other
deformation. The surface and the weld seams of the bars should also be
clean and show no signs of corrosion or erosion and the manufacturers
labels and engraved marks should not have been tampered with.
Needless-to-say, if any defects are discovered during inspection which cast
doubt on the safety of the flying system it should not be deployed.
Flying systems set up in permanent installations pose fewer safety
problems than touring or mobile systems. None-the-less, regular safety
inspections of fixed or semi-fixed systems based upon the above guidance
should also be undertaken.
