Table 2 – Inspection Checklist Component: Inspection: Pass Fail Inspect for loose fasteners and bent or damaged parts. (Figure 14) Inspect the Housing (A) for distortion, cracks, or other damage. Inspect the Swivel (B) and Swivel Eye (C) or Integral Connector (D) for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
APPENDIX A - TWIN SRL FIXED D-RING HARNESS INTERFACE Older ExoFit Full Body Harnesses with a Fixed D-Ring require a special Twin SRL Harness Interface to mount two Nano-Lok SRLs on the back of the harness just below the Dorsal D-Ring. Specific Twin Leg Nano-Lok SRL models are available for installation on ExoFit Fixed D-Ring harnesses (see Figure 20).
