Every six months the following inspection procedure should be performed to visually examine
the entire length of the Harness Rope and Pulley Assembly. You will need a 1/8" Allen Wrench
as some disassembly is required.
1. Inspect the harness rope. Lower the harness rope using Handle #1 until it is at its maximum
length of 50 inches (150cm). The harness rope should lower smoothly to its full length. Inspect
for any signs of wear, which may include fraying, cuts, or kinks in the rope.
2. Remove the Safety Harness and Safety Tether.
3. Remove the Safety Tether routing pins by removing the c-clips with c-clip pliers.
4. Remove the top cross bracket cover secured with 1/8" Allen screws. There are 22 screws total,
ten located in front, ten in the back, and two near each upright. Support the bracket cover with
your hand as you remove the screws. Once all the screws have been removed, gently pry the
bracket cover off.
