4.0 TRAINING

4.1

TRAINING: Users and purchasers of this equipment must be trained in the correct care and use of this equipment as

detailed in this manual. It is the responsibility of the user and purchaser of this equipment to assure they are familiar with

these instructions, operating characteristics, application limits, and the consequences of improper use of this equipment.

Training must be conducted without exposing the user to a fall hazard. Training should be repeated

on a periodic basis.

Step 1. Attach sleeve to approved carrier cable. Use a full body harness with frontal D-Ring and attach to Lad-Saf

Detachable Cable Sleeve.

Step 2. Ascend the ladder to approximately three feet. With both hands and feet on the climbing structure flex knees in

a quick sitting motion to simulate a fall and activate the sleeve.

Step 3. After the sleeve locks, move upward to unlock the sleeve. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 several times to become

familiar with sleeve operation.

Step 4. Descend the ladder to the ground and detach the sleeve connection. Remove the sleeve from the cable.

5.0 INSPECTION

5.1

FREQUENCY:

See Figure 2 for identification of the components described in the following guidelines:

•

Before Each Use: Visually inspect the full body harness, Lad-Saf

System installation, and ladder structure. Use the guidelines provided in section 5.3 or 5.4 to check the system to the

extent possible before attaching. Check the system label (section 8) to verify that annual inspection is current. If the

condition of the system is in doubt, do not use.

•

Periodic Formal Inspection: A formal inspection of the Lad-Saf

System installation, and the ladder structure must be performed at least annually by a competent person other than

the user. See Sections 5.3 and 5.4 for inspection specifics. Record the results at the end of this manual.

•

After a Fall: If a fall occurs with the Lad-Saf

performed by a competent person other than the user. A separate fall protection system must be used while

inspecting the Lad-Saf system. See sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Record the inspection results in the Inspection and

Maintenance Logs at the end of this manual.

INSPECTION GUIDELINES - LAD-SAF™ DETACHABLE CABLE SLEEVE: See Figure 2 for identification of the components

described in the following guidelines:

•

Inspect the handle/energy absorber/fall indicator (item D) for bends, cracks, and deformities. All fasteners must be

securely attached. Operation of handle and cam must be free and smooth. Springs must be secure and of sufficient

strength to pull handle down.

The handle/energy absorber/fall indicator will be deformed if it has been used for fall arrest. Figure 19 shows an

example of a handle/energy absorber/fall indicator that has not been used for fall arrest (1) and a handle/energy

absorber that has been used for fall arrest and is deformed (2). If the handle/energy absorber is deformed,

DO NOT USE. The sleeve must be removed from service.

•

Inspect the locking lever (item G) for smooth operation, ensuring it springs back into its locked position when

released.

•

Inspect the cam (item L) for wear. Confirm that there is no damage to the cam.

•

Inspect cam (item L) by holding the sleeve vertically with the handle/energy absorber (item D) in the upright position

and shaking the sleeve up and down to simulate a fall. The cam should rotate freely.

•

Inspect cam (item L) by positioning the sleeve horizontally with the handle/energy absorber (item D) in the upright

position and placing the sleeve on the back side on a flat surface with the Lad-Saf X2 label facing up. The cam should

rotate fully upwards to the top of the sleeve.

•

Inspect the operation of the rotating side plate (item C) by pulling it back to try to open the cable slot. It must not

rotate. If it does rotate without having to rotate the locking lever (Figure 2, item G), remove the sleeve from service.
