Maintenance, Cleaning, And Storage; Inspection - Guardian Retractable HLL Instruction Manual

6. Attach complete and compatible PFAS to HLL O-ring. Maximum 1 connection per O-ring. Connections may be
made directly to HTL, however connecting to O-rings is considered best-practice use; such connections include
attachment via snap hook, scaffold hook, and karabiner.
7. To uninstall and/or release tension on lifeline, rotate tensioning handle a partial turn to transition tension
away from spool-release trigger, then compress trigger and extend lifeline sufficiently to allow removal from
anchorage connector. When completely uninstalled, always fully retract HLL cable back into unit housing.

Maintenance, Cleaning, and Storage

If a Retractable HLL fails inspection in any way, immediately remove it from service, and contact Guardian to
inquire about its return or repair.
Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of Retractable HLL. Remove all dirt, corrosives,
and contaminants from Retractable HLL before and after each use. If a Retractable HLL cannot be cleaned with plain
water, use mild soap and water, then rinse and wipe dry. NEVER clean Retractable HLL with corrosive substances.
When not in use or during transport, store equipment where it will not be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture,
chemicals, or other degrading elements.

Inspection

Prior to EACH use, inspect Retractable HLL for deficiencies, including, but not limited to, corrosion, deformation, pits,
burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint buildup, excessive heating, alteration, broken stitching,
fraying, and missing or illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove Retractable HLL from service if defects or damage are
found, or if exposed to forces of fall arrest.
Ensure that applicable work area is free of all damage, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, decay, cracking,
and hazardous materials. Ensure that selected work area will support the application-specific minimum loads set
forth in this instruction manual. Work area MUST be stable.
At least every 12 months, a Competent Person other than the user must inspect Retractable HLL. Competent Person
inspections MUST be recorded in inspection log in instruction manual and on equipment inspection grid label.
The Competent Person must sign their initials in the box corresponding to the month and year the inspection
took place.
During inspection, consider all applications and hazards Retractable HLL has been subjected to.
