WARNING
When inspection and operational test-
ing reveals defects in or damage to
equipment, inadequate maintenance of
equipment, or evidence of equipment
having been exposed to fall arrest forces
or loading, the equipment shall be im-
mediately removed from service.
Units removed from service, shall be
marked and tagged "UNUSABLE" and
returned for service in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Non-
repairable devices must be disposed of
in a manner to prevent inadvertent fur-
ther use.
Webbing Load Indicator
(See Fig. 9a)
A fold sewn into the webbing lifeline
above the snap hook serves as the impact
indicator. A warning flag is included and will
be exposed should the lifeline be subjected
to fall arresting forces.
Snap Hook Load Indicator
(See Fig. 9b)
The snap hook load impact indicator is built
into the swivel part of the snap hook. The
swivel eye will elongate and expose a red
area at the location illustrated (see Fig. 9b)
when subjected to fall arrest forces.
