5.2 INSPECTION STEPS:
Step 1. Inspect the lanyard hardware (snap hooks, adjusters, thimbles, spreader bar, etc.). These items
must not be damaged, broken, distorted, or have any sharp edges, burrs, cracks, worn parts, or
corrosion. Ensure the connecting hooks work properly. The hook gates must move freely and lock
upon closing. Ensure the adjusters, if present, work properly.
Step 2. Inspect the lanyard per the following as applicable:
WEBBING AND STITCHING: Inspect the webbing. The material must be free of frayed, cut,
or broken fibers. Check for tears, abrasions, mold, burns, or discoloration. Inspect the stitching.
Check for pulled or cut stitches. The webbing must be free of knots, excessive soiling, heavy paint
buildup, and rust staining. Check for chemical or heat damage, indicated by brown, discolored, or
brittle areas. Check for ultraviolet damage, indicated by discoloration and the presence of splinters
or slivers on the webbing surface. All of these above factors are known to reduce the webbing
strength. Damaged or questionable webbing should be replaced.
SYNTHETIC ROPE: Inspect the rope for concentrated wear. The material must be free of frayed
or broken strands, cuts, abrasions, burns, and discoloration. The rope must be free of knots,
excessive soiling, heavy paint buildup, and rust staining. Rope splices must be tight, with five
(5) full tucks, and the thimbles must be held by the splice. Check for chemical or heat damage
indicated by brown, discolored, or brittle areas. Check for ultraviolet damage, indicated by
discoloration and the presence of splinters and slivers on the rope surface. All of the above factors
are known to reduce the rope strength. Damaged or questionable ropes should be replaced.
Step 3. Inspect the labels. All labels must be present and fully legible. See section 9.0.
Step 4. Inspect each system component or subsystem according to the associated manufacturer's
instructions.
Step 5. Record the inspection date and results on the Inspection and Maintenance Log.
5.3 If inspection reveals a defective condition, remove the unit from service immediately and destroy, or contact
a factory authorized service center for repair.
IMPORTANT: Only DBI‑SALA or parties authorized in writing may make repairs to this equipment.
6.0 MAINTENANCE - SERVICING - STORAGE
6.1 Clean the lanyard with water and a mild detergent solution. Wipe the hardware off with a clean, dry cloth,
and hang it to air dry. Do not force dry with heat. If you have any questions regarding the cleaning of this
equipment, or require more information contact DBI-SALA. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc., may
prevent the lanyard from working properly, and in severe cases degrade the webbing or rope to a point
where it has become weakened and should be removed from service. If you have any questions concerning
the condition of your lanyard, or have any doubt about putting it into service, contact DBI-SALA.
6.2 Additional maintenance and servicing procedures (i.e. replacement parts) must be completed by a factory
authorized service center. Authorization must be in writing.
6.3 Store the lanyard in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors
may exist. Thoroughly inspect the lanyard after extended storage.
