MAINTENANCE

Inspect the labels to verify that they are present and legible. Check the formal inspection grid to be sure a formal inspection has been performed within the time frame required.
Before each use of this fall protection equipment carefully inspect it to assure it is in good working condition.
Check for worn or damaged parts. Ensure all bolts are present and secure.
Check that the lifeline is retracting properly by pulling out the line and allowing it to slowly retract. If there is any hesitation in retraction the unit should be marked as “UNUSABLE” and inspected and serviced.
Inspect the lifeline for cuts, frays, burns, crushing and corrosion.
Check locking action by pulling sharply on the line.
Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.
Inspect energy absorbers (if applicable) for evidence of deployment. Remove from service and destroy energy absorbers with evidence of deployment. Inspect for elongation and/or separation of webbing layers and/or appearance of webbing outside the pouch.
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Position the SRL so excess water can drain out. Clean labels as required.
Clean lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc. may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a potential free fall hazard.
Store and transport Self-Retracting Lanyard in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist.
Thoroughly inspect the SRL after any period of extended storage.
