• Before Each Use: Visually inspect the detachable cable sleeve with the Cabloc installation according
to section 5.2 and 5.3. Inspect other system components according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Formal Inspection: A formal inspection of the detachable cable sleeve must be performed at least
annually by a competent person other than the user.

5.2 INSPECTION gUIDELINES FOR CABLOC LADDER SAFETY SLEEvE:
• Inspect: the brake lever and cable shoe for bends, cracks, and deformation. Inspect the connection
point for wear or distortion. Check all surfaces for corrosion. All fasteners and rivets must be securely
attached. Operation of the brake lever and cable shoe must be free and smooth. Springs must be
secure and of sufficient strength to pull the brake lever down. See Figure 1.
• Inspect: the sleeve body for wear
on the inside where the cable passes
through.
• Inspect markings: All markings
must be present and completely
legible. See Figure 3.
• In Canada: ensure that the anti-
inversion device is operational by
turning the cable sleeve upside don
and trying to operate the brake lever.
If the lever operates up and down
in the inverted position, the anti-
inversion device is defective and the
sleeve must be removed from service
and destroyed or returned to Protecta
for repair.
5.3 IF INSPECTION reveals an unsafe or defective condition remove the ladder safety system or detachable
cable sleeve from service and destroy or contact an authorized service center for repair.
