Servicing
Always refer to the User Instructions for detailed information about Guard Load Arrest servicing and inspection.
All Guard load arrestors must undergo periodic maintenance to ensure they continue to operate safely and effectively.
Guard load arrestors must be maintained by a Globestock-approved service agent at least every 12 months. Guard load arrestors may require more frequent maintenance when they are used in harsh environments.
Guard load arrestors must undergo periodic maintenance whenever they arrest a load, regardless of when they were last maintained. This maintenance does not replace or supersede any relevant legislative or regulatory requirements that may be in place for this type of equipment.
Any Guard load arrestors which arrest a load must be removed from service immediately and sent to a-Globestock approved service agent for maintenance.

During an annual service the equipment will be fully inspected, tested and re-certified before being returned to you.
If an arrest occurs, the Guard load arrestor involved must be withdrawn from service immediately and not used until it has been re-certified as safe to use.

Pre-Use Inspection
Always refer to the User Instructions for detailed information about Guard Load Arrest servicing and inspection, including pre-use inspection points.
All Guard load arrestors must be subjected to a pre-use inspection after installation and before each subsequent use.
Pre-use inspections must be conducted by a competent person. It is good practice to keep a record of all pre-use inspections. A sample inspection record is provided in Appendix B of the instruction manual.
Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn when conducting pre-use inspections.
