DAILY INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

d.A final check of the control cable connector and source assembly connector is accomplished by use of a Model 550 NO GO gauge to check for significant wear on the connectors that would affect safety. Without using excessive force, check the following four positions (see figure 3.5):

1 Ball at the end of the control cable connector must NOT GO into the hole of the gauge.

2 The shank or stem of the control cable connector must NOT GO into the smaller of the two notches located on the side of the gauge.

3 The width of the gauge must NOT GO into the female slot of the source assembly connector.

4 After a positive connection between the control cable and source assembly connectors has been accomplished, verify that the larger notch located on the side of the gauge will NOT GO in the gap between the joined connectors.

Replace any components that fail any of the NO GO gauge tests, because a failure indicates significant wear that could allow safety features of the design to be defeated.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

Do not compromise on safety. Always perform a daily inspection of the exposure device, projection sheaths and remote controls prior to use.

Defective equipment that is discovered during the daily inspection must be removed from service until repaired or replaced.
