k. Use of Lifelines
(See Lifeline User Instruction Manual for complete details)
1. Always protect the lifeline if passing over or around sharp
edges. Sharp edges can reduce rope strength by 70% or more.
2. Keep lifelines clean.
3. Avoid twisting or kinking lifelines when coiling or uncoiling
4. Avoid using lifelines near acids or alkalines. If the lifeline is
used around any chemical or compound, watch for signs of
deterioration.
5. Never use a knotted lifeline, knots can reduce rope strength
by 50%.
6. Store lifelines properly.
l. After Use
After use of the rope grab and its subsystem components, return it
for cleaning or storage as described below:
1. Clean the rope grab and lifeline with water and a mild soap
solution. Wipe off hardware with a clean, dry cloth, and hang
to air dry. Do not force dry with heat. Apply a thin coat of an oil
based lubricant if desired. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint,
etc. may prevent the rope grab or lifeline from working properly,
and in severe cases degrade the rope grab or rope to a point
where it has weakened and should be removed from service.
If you have any questions concerning the condition of the
rope grab or lifeline, or have any doubt about putting them into
service, contact Werner Co. See the Lifeline User Instruction
Manual for specic maintenance details.
2. Additional maintenance and servicing procedures (replacement
parts) must be completed by a factory authorized service center.
Authorization must be in writing. Do not attempt to disassemble
the unit.
3. Store the rope grab and lifeline in a cool, dry, clean environment
out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may
exist. Thoroughly inspect the rope grab and lifeline after any
period of extended storage.
