Cable Sleeve
Inspect the Handle (C) for bends, cracks, and deformities. All fasteners
(Figure 2)
must be securely attached. Operation of handle and cam must be free and
smooth. Springs must be secure and of sufficient strength to pull handle
down.
The Handle also acts as an energy absorber and fall indicator. The Handle
will be deformed if it has been used for fall arrest. Figure 11.3 shows
an example of a Handle that has not been used for fall arrest (A) and
a Handle that has been used for fall arrest and is deformed (B). If the
Handle is deformed greater than A = 1/2 inch (12.7mm) Do not use. The
sleeve must be removed from service.
Inspect the Locking Lever (E) for smooth operation, ensuring it springs
back into its locked position when released.
Inspect the Locking Cam (H) for wear. Confirm that there is no damage to
the cam.
Inspect the Locking Cam (H) by holding the sleeve vertically with the
Handle (C) in the upright position and shaking the sleeve up and down to
simulate a fall. The cam should rotate freely.
Inspect the Locking Cam (H) by positioning the sleeve horizontally with
the Handle (C) in the upright position and placing the sleeve on the back
side on a flat surface with the Lad-Saf X3 label facing up. The cam should
rotate fully upwards to the top of the sleeve.
Inspect the operation of the Side Plate (B) by pulling it back to try to open
the cable slot. It must not rotate. If it does rotate without having to rotate
the Locking Lever (E), remove the sleeve from service.
Inspect the entire unit for signs of corrosion.
Top Bracket
Inspect for proper installation per Lad-Saf™ Flexible Cable Vertical Safety
Systems Installation Instructions, 3M Fall Protection manual 5908282 or
(Figure 11.2)
5903435.
Check for visible damage or corrosion. Look for cracks, bends or wear that
could affect the strength and operation of the system. Inspect welds. Look
for cracked or broken welds that could affect strength of bracket. Replace
parts if defects are found.
Check for loose or missing fasteners that secure top bracket to structure
(bolts, clamp plates, U bolts). If fasteners are loose, re-tighten as
necessary to the torque levels listed in the Installation Instructions
supplied with your Lad-Saf Flexible Cable Safety System.
Inspect top plate for deformation. Gap shall be 0.20 inch (5 mm)
minimum at location A.
Ensure both the large pin (B) and the small pin are in place. Ensure the
spring gate (C) is in place.
Inspect the single point anchor (D) for cracks or signs of damage. Inspect
the torque of the fastener. Ensure washer has visible markings.
Bottom Bracket
Inspect for proper installation per Lad-Saf™ Flexible Cable Vertical Safety
Systems Installation Instructions, 3M Fall Protection manual 5908282 or
(Figure 11.1)
5903435.
Check for damage or corrosion. Look for cracks, bends or wear that could
affect the strength and operation of the system. Replace parts if defects
are found.
Check for loose or missing fasteners that secure bottom bracket to the
structure. If fasteners are loose, re-tighten as necessary to the torque
levels listed in the Installation Instructions supplied with your Lad-Saf
Flexible Cable Ladder Safety System.
Inspect the tension rod assembly. Make certain saddle clips securely retain
the cable. Check torque on saddle clamps; torque to 35 ft-lb (47 N-m).
Replace or retighten if defects are found.
