Notes:

MILLER TRIPOD

VISUAL INSPECTION
Inspect overall product for any of the following: misaligned, bent, cracked,
distorted, worn, malfunctioning or damaged parts; loose fasteners or missing
parts/components; deterioration; corrosion; signs that indicate the product has
been subjected to a fall arrest; or any other indications of damage/problems that
may affect the integrity and operation of the product. If in doubt, contact the
manufacturer.

FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION
Ensure that the product and all its components function properly and only as
intended by the manufacturer. Ensure that leg locks engage properly. If in doubt,
contact the manufacturer.

Notes:
MILLER MIGHTEVAC SELF-RETRACTING LIFELINE / EMERGENCY
RETRIEVAL HOIST
WARNING: The following inspection and operation checkpoints must be done prior to each
use. CAUTION: Always wear gloves when inspecting wire rope/cable units; broken strands can
cause injury!

DEVICE HOUSING AND PARTS/MOUNTING BRACKET


Inspect the unit for loose fasteners and bent, cracked, distorted, worn,
malfunctioning or damaged parts.

LIFELINE
With the device in the mounted position, test the lifeline retraction and tension by
pulling out several feet of the cable and allow to retract back into the unit. Always
maintain a light tension on the cable as it retracts. The lifeline should pull out
freely and retract all the way back into the unit. If the lifeline does not pull out
smoothly or sticks when retracting, pull all the cable out of the housing and allow
it to retract slowly under tension. Do not use the unit if the lifeline does not retract
properly. The lifeline should be checked regularly for signs of damage. Inspect
entire length for cuts, burns, corrosion, kinks, frays, worn areas, broken strands
or chemical damage.

BRAKING MECHANISM
The braking mechanism can be tested by grasping the lifeline ABOVE the load
indicator and applying a sharp steady pull downward which will engage the
brakes. There should be no slippage of the lifeline while the brakes are engaged.
Once tension is released, the brakes will disengage and the unit will return to the
retractable mode.

SNAP HOOK
Check the snap hook to be sure that it operates freely, locks, and the swivel
operates smoothly. Inspect the snap hook for any signs of damage to the keeper
and any bent, cracked, or distorted components.

LOAD INDICATOR
Inspect the load indicator for signs of activation. The load indicator is located in
the swivel of the snap hook. The swivel eye will elongate and expose a red area
at the location illustrated when subjected to fall arresting forces.

RETRIEVAL MECHANISM
Ensure that the retrieval mechanism and associated components are working
properly according to the operation instructions (see section 4.0 of this manual).

UNITS THAT DO NOT PASS INSPECTION OR HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE FORCES OF
ARRESTING A FALL OR AFFECTING A RESUCE MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE.

Notes:
MILLER DURAFLEX HARNESS INSPECTION
WEBBING STRAPS
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 fibers 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 fibers, pulled
stitches, cuts, burns, and chemical damage.
D-RINGS
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
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
Check all stitching for ripped or pulled stitches and to make sure the webbing
joints are not loose.

PADS / LANYARD D-RINGS


Check all pads on harness for damage. Look for any cracks or excessive wear.
Your Miller Fall Protection harness includes two pull free lanyard d-rings. These
d-rings are used for attaching your single or double leg lanyard when it is not in
use. Check for missing lanyard d-ring’s on front two-hole pads.

Notes:
MILLER MANYARD SHOCK ABSORBER – WEB LANYARD
When inspecting lanyards, begin at one end and work to the opposite end. Slowly rotate the
lanyard so that the entire circumference is checked. Spliced ends require particular attention.
Hardware should be examined under procedures also detailed below, i.e., snap hooks, D-rings
and thimbles.

HARDWARE
Snap hooks: Inspect closely for hook and eye distortions, cracks, corrosion, or
pitted surfaces. The keeper (latch) should seat into the nose without binding and
should not be distorted or obstructed. The keeper spring should exert sufficient
force to firmly close the keeper. Keeper locks must prevent the keeper from
opening when the keeper closes. b. Thimbles: The thimble must be firmly seated
in the eye of the splice, and the splice should have no loose or cut strands. The
edges of the thimble must be free of sharp edges, distortion, or cracks.

WEB LANYARD
While bending webbing over a pipe or mandrel, observe each side of the web
lanyard. This will reveal any cuts, snags, or breaks. Swelling, discoloration,
cracks, and/or charring are obvious signs of chemical or heat damage. Observe
closely for any breaks in the stitching. Inspect lanyard warning flag for signs of
activation. Titan tubular lanyards must be measured to determine activation.
