11.0 MAINTENANCE, CARE & STORAGE
11.1 If the Engagement Arm has been activated by a fall, the Engagement Box Assembly (4) must be replaced
before using the unit in fall arrest. Refer to assembly
for replacement instructions.
11.2 Keep tires free from build up and debris. Asphalt or adhesive build up on the tires can cause the unit to
function improperly.
11.3 Inspect all bolts, pins, springs, welds and paint for visible damage. Damaged or missing parts can prevent the
X-CALIBUR
from working properly.
11.4 Maintain the paint finish to prevent corrosion. Use rust inhibitive paint compatible with the powder coat finish.
11.5 Store the X-CALIBUR in a place protected from the weather. Vinyl Weather Covers are available for long-term
outdoor storage. Contact your local distributor or Leading Edge Safety for pricing and availability.
11.6 Rotate the tires or block the axles to avoid flat spots on the tires during long-term storage.

12.0 IN THE EVENT OF A FALL

12.1 Call 911 and report the fall emergency immediately.
12.2 Follow your company policy and site-specific rescue plan.
12.2 Before attempting to rescue a fall victim connected to the X-CALIBUR, ensure the X-CALIBUR is stable with the
claw engaged into the substrate, both tires, and outriggers are contacting the walking/working surface.
12.3 Rescuers should attach themselves in fall restraint to a secondary mobile fall cart not involved in the fall or other
certified anchor point before attempting to rescue a fall victim.
12.4 Once a fall victim has been recovered, the X-CALIBUR may be disengaged from the substrate. Use caution
when disengaging the unit, keep hands and feet clear of moving parts and pinch points. In some cases, the
Talon may become wedged into the substrate; to disengage the Talon from the substrate, unbolt the
Engagement Box Assembly. Alternatively, use a wooden or metal beam to apply leverage against the
underside of the frame to pry the unit free from the substrate, then remove the Engagement Box Assembly for
return and replacement. FIG A-1
12.5 Remove the unit from fall arrest service by appropriate lock out/tag out procedures until the Engagement Box
Assembly has been replaced.
