inspection:
SRL (Figure 1)
Inspect for loose bolts and bent or damaged parts.
Inspect housing for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
Lifeline should pull out and retract fully without hesitation or creating
a slack line condition.
Ensure device locks up when lifeline is jerked sharply. Lockup should
be positive with no slipping (RSQ mode). *
The labels must be present and fully legible.
Look for signs of corrosion on the entire unit.
Connecting Hook
Inspect connecting hooks for signs of damage, corrosion, and
& Impact Indicator
working condition. Swivel should rotate freely. Inspect impact
(Figure 4)
indicator according to Figure 4.
Wire Rope (Figure 5)
Inspect wire rope for cuts, kinks, broken wires, bird-caging, welding
splatter, corrosion, chemical contact areas, or severely abraded
areas. Slide the cable bumper up and inspect ferrules for cracks or
damage and inspect the wire rope for corrosion and broken wires.
Retrieval Components
If so equipped, inspect SRL Retrieval components per the procedures
defined in the included SRL - Retrieval Operator Instruction
(5903079).
RSQ Controlled Descent
If so equipped, inspect SRL RSQ Controlled Descent components per
Components
the procedures defined in the included SRL - RSQ Controlled Descent
Operator Instruction (5903080).
* Except as described in the proper operation of the device when used in the RSQ mode.
impaCT indiCaToR: To inspect the impact indicator, look for exposed color band on hook as shown in 4. If the hook is in
the "indicated mode," an impact loading has occurred. SRLs which have been subjected to impact loading must be removed
from service for inspection. Do not attempt to reset impact indicator. Return to an authorized service center for resetting.
noTe: Swivel will not turn freely in "indicated mode."

B
Normal mode
C
Indicated mode
wiRe Rope: Inspect wire rope for cuts, kinks, broken wires, bird-caging, welding splatter, corrosion, chemical contact areas,
or severely abraded areas. Slide the cable bumper up and inspect ferrules for cracks or damage and inspect the wire rope for
corrosion and broken wires.
noTe: Replace the wire rope assembly 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 inch (25mm) of the ferrules.

Bird-caging
D
Welding spatter
WarnInG: Do not tie or knot lifeline. Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. Inspect lifeline
frequently for cuts, fraying, burns, or signs of chemical damage. Dirt, contaminants, and water can lower
dielectric properties of the lifeline. Use caution near power lines.
Inspect each system component or subsystem according to manufacturer's instructions.
Record inspection results in the inspection log.
