12. Periodic inspections and repairs

An annual periodic inspection is mandatory; however,
depending on the frequency of use, environmental
conditions and regulations of the company or the
country of use, periodic inspections may be more
frequent.
If this equipment is dirty, wash it with clean and cold
water with a synthetic brush. During transport and
storage, protect the equipment in moisture-resistant
packaging from any hazards (direct heat source,
chemical products and UV light, etc.).
Periodic inspections must be carried out by a qualified
technician in strict compliance with periodic inspection
procedures.
Confirming the legibility of the product markings is an
integral part of the periodic inspection.
The outcome of these inspections must be recorded
in the inspection register located at the centre of these
instructions, which must be kept throughout the life of
the product until it is taken out of service.
The technician must also complete lines A to E of the
table with the following information:
A: Name of inspector;
B: Date of inspection;
C: Inspection result OK/Not OK;
D: Signature of inspector; and
E: Date of next inspection.
After arresting a fall, this product must undergo a
periodic inspection as described in this section.
The davimast blocfor™ R and caRol™ TS brackets are
supplied with their equipped system, so it is advisable
to carry out periodic visual inspections on the brackets
and their respective system.

12.1.1. Checking the markings

The bracket must have the following markings at least:
• The manufacturer's or supplier's name;
• The equipment reference;
• The batch or serial number;
• The EN equipment standard followed by the year of
reference; and
• The logo; read the instruction manual.
NOTE: If any marking goes missing, the affected
equipment must be taken out of service.

present
The davimast must have the following at least:
• Two pins;
• Two safety pins connected to the bracket by means
of a cablet; and
• One rotation ring.
12.1.3. Checking the general condition of the
davimast
Inspect each side of the davimast and more specifically
check whether:
• The tube is deformed;
• The mounting holes are deformed in any way;
• The pins and safety pins are deformed in any way;
• There is any corrosion;
• The mast rotates freely in a base plate; and
• The retaining stop is present on the rotating ring.
NOTE: Non-compliance with the above check
does not necessarily mean the equipment is to be
decommissioned, but the device must not be used
until it has been repaired by Tractel or an authorised
repairer.

12.2. Checking the cable

Always wear protective gloves and goggles when
checking the cable.
This chapter describes the procedure for checking a
Tractel cable for the blocfor™ and caRol™ brackets.
®
All cables are supplied with a connector.
The fastening loop must never be a simple knot or lock
with cable clamps or a splice.
Position the cable so that it can be inspected along its
entire circumference and length.
