GENERAL INSPECTION STEPS:
Step 1.
Inspect for loose screws, bolts and bent or damaged
parts.
Step 2.
Inspect housing for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
UltraLok Models Only: Ensure the swivel eye is not
damaged or distorted in any way. Ensure the swivel eye
turns freely.
SB Series Only: Ensure the shackle moves freely and
is free from distortion, cracks, burrs and worn parts.
Ensure the athe nut is fully tightened.
Step 3.
Inspect the load impact indicator. This inspection is
dependent on the type of SRL used. Follow the detailed
instructions for your SRL type:
◊ UltraLok Cable and Rope Style SRLs: See Figure 30. Inspect
the impact indicator (A). In "normal mode" (B) you should look
for exposed color band (C) on the hook. If the hook is in the
"indicated mode" (D), an impact loading has occurred.
• Note: Do not attempt to reset impact indicator. Swivel will not
turn freely in "indicated mode."
◊ SB SRLs: See Figure 31. Check the red impact indicator button
(A), to be sure it is fl ush with the housing. If the button is not
fl ush with the housing, the block has been deployed.
◊ UltraLok Web Style SRLs: See Figure 32. These SRLs incorpo-
rate an impact indicator in the web lifeline (A). The web near the
hook end (B) of the lifeline is folded onto itself and stitched with
red thread, forming a small loop (C). The stitched loop will pull
out at approximately 1.6 kN. If the red stitching is intact, the
SRL has not been impacted. If the red stitching has been broken
and the loop torn apart (D), the SRL has been impact loaded.
◊ UltraLok Leading Edge Style SRLs: See Figure 33. The
3504500 leading edge style SRLs incorporate an integral energy
absorbing component. Inspect the energy absorber to determine
if it has been activated. There should be no evidence of elonga-
tion (B). Ensure energy absorber cover (A) is secure and not
torn or damaged.
WARNING: If inspection reveals a defective condition, remove SRL
from service immediately and contact an authorized service center.
Step 4.
Lifeline should pull out and retract fully without
hesitation or creating a slack line condition. The lifeline
must be taught (under tension). Ensure device locks up
when lifeline is jerked sharply. Lockup should be positive
with no slipping.
