USER INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH
1. First check the impact load indicators. For lanyards with DCELL
Shock Packs, the clear plastic cover permits full view. Check the
area near the INSPECT!
™
tag to see if the shock absorbing web
is intact. If there is any indication of impact loading the lanyard
should be removed from service and destroyed. On SoftCoil
Lanyards, check the load indicating stitch near the INSPECT!
™
tag at the end of the lanyard for signs of deployment. Remove
from service any lanyard which exhibits indications of impact
loading.
2. Check the webbing for cuts, abrasions, burns, welding spatter,
or discoloration that could be caused by chemical exposure.
The WebAlert feature of the webbing on some models is
intended to make these much easier to spot. If any abnormality
is noted, check further by bending the webbing to expose the
irregularity to determine severity.
3. For cable legs, examine the entire length for any breaks or kinks
and the swaged ttings for any cracks or irregularities.
4. Check all stitching for any broken threads.
5. Check all hardware for cracks, bends, irregularities, corrosion,
or sharp edges. Check the snap hook gates for proper smooth
operation. The gates must close and lock and the primary gate
must not open unless the locking gate is depressed. Ensure the
mechanism is undamaged and functioning properly.
6. Check all plastic parts for damage or cracks. If any abnormalities
are found, the product should be removed from service.
7. Verify that all labels are in place and legible. Examples of
the labels can be found in section IV of these instructions.
If abnormalities are found in any of these areas then the
competent person should be consulted to determine if that item
is safe for continued use or if it should be removed from service.
