LOCKING SNAPHOOK INSPECTION PROCEDURE
THOROUGHLY INSPECT EACH SNAPHOOK BEFORE EACH USE TO ENSURE:
> Rivets are not loose and have adequate head on both sides.
> Snaphook is not cracked, corroded or distorted so that the keeper does not properly seat in the bill.
> Keeper is not bent or distorted such that it does not properly seat in the bill without binding.
> Keeper and lock mechanism are free of burrs.
> Keeper and lock mechanism and rivet attachment points are properly lubricated.
> Keeper extends into the bill, 3/16" min. (Fig. 5)
> Keeper and lock mechanism springs are properly seated and aligned.
> Roller turns freely and is not distorted.
LUBRICATE lock mechanism and keeper on both sides AT LEAST WEEKLY or
AS OFTEN AS REQUIRED to maintain smooth operation (no binding) with light weight
lubricant such as WD-40®.
LOCKING SNAPHOOKS FEATURE A SELF-CLOSING, SELF-LOCKING MECHANISM WHICH
REMAINS CLOSED UNTIL UNLOCKED AND PRESSED OPEN FOR CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION.
> When the lock mechanism is not activated, the keeper should remain securely locked
when depressed.
> Depress the lock mechanism. It should move downward easily and spring back to its
original position without binding or sticking (Fig. 6).
>Depress the keeper and lock mechanism simultaneously, (Fig. 7), checking for:
>> ease of movement —no binding
>> keeper unlocks completely
>> keeper opens completely, moves through its full range of motion smoothly,
and returns to its original position within the bill.
> Move the keeper side to side to check for excessive side movement (Fig. 8).
Side movement is excessive if the keeper hangs up on the tab of the split bill (Fig. 9)
