HARNESS INSPECTION
HARNESS INSPECTION
Perform the following procedures for all harness straps.
Webbing Straps
1
Grasp the webbing with your hands 6
to 8 inches apart. Bend the webbing in
an inverted "U" as shown. The surface
tension resulting makes damaged
fi bers or cuts easier to see. Follow
this procedure the entire length of the
webbing, inspecting both sides of each
strap. Watch for frayed edges, broken
fi bers, pulled stitches, cuts, burns, and
chemical damage.
D-rings
2
Check D-rings for distortion, cracks,
breaks, and rough or sharp edges.
The D-ring should pivot freely. Also
check the attachment point of the D-
ring to make sure it is secure.
Buckles
3
These should be given special
attention. Note any unusual wear,
damage, or distortion.
•On tongue buckles, check that the
roller and tongue move freely, and
that the tongue overlaps the buckle
frame.
•Check outer and center bars
on friction and mating buckles for
distortion.
Stitching
4
Check all stitching for ripped or
pulled stitches and to make sure the
webbing joints are not loose.
