Inspection Procedure

Inspect the screws, bolts, and nuts of the HLL System. Ensure they are
securely attached and tightened. Check to see if any bolts, nuts, or other
parts are missing, or have been substituted or altered in any way. Inspect
covers, housings, guards, etc. Ensure they are free of cracks dents or other
damage.
Inspect the entire system for signs of corrosion or other damage that may
affect strength or operation.
Inspect the wire rope for rust, corrosion, broken wires, or other obvious
faults. Wire Rope must be replaced by a 3M authorized service center if
there are six or more randomly distributed broken wires in one lay, or
three or more broken wires in one strand in one lay. A "lay" of wire rope
is the length of wire rope it takes for a strand (the larger groups of wires)
to complete one revolution or twist along the rope. Replace the wire rope
assembly if there are any broken wires within 1 in. (25 mm) of any swaged
component.
Inspect all carabiners and connectors securing the HLL assembly to ensure
they are present and properly installed. Inspect the sleeves at the end of
the lifeline for damage such as cracks, dents or distortion.
Inspect the impact indicator at the end of the lifeline. If the pin is broken,
the system has been exposed to an impact force. The system must not be
used and must be removed from service. The unit must be serviced by an
authorized service center before reuse.
Inspect the reserve lifeline payout. The horizontal lifeline has a 4.5 ft.
(1.4 m) reserve at the end of the lifeline. If a red band attached around
the rope is visible at the housing end of the lifeline, the reserve has been
compromised. Remove the unit from service. The unit must be serviced by
an authorized service center before reuse.
If the system contains a Rolled Metal Energy Absorber, inspect the Roll
Metal Energy Absorber for extension or deformities. Ensure there is
no tearing of the metal between holes in the coiled section. Increase
inspection frequency if the Energy Absorber is exposed to prolonged
vibration. Extended Rolled Metal Energy Absorbers must be removed
from service and destroyed or marked for training only. Inspect securing
hardware for strength and function.
Pull sharply on the lifeline close to the device end to ensure that the lifeline
is secured.
Ensure that the lifeline is under the correct tension. Do not apply extra-
tension on the lifeline during this operation unless it is necessary to ensure
the crank handle "clicks".
All labels are present and fully legible.
Additional Fall Protection equipment that is used with the product is
