Mullion chain and chain end connections

Visually inspect the connection points of the mullion chain to the mullion and any bottom block revving if applicable. Check for signs of wear or damage.

Check the brake mechanism by pulling the wire rope. Pull out the entire wire rope to check for damages. If a thread is broken, replace the wire. Let the wire rope retract carefully. The mullion arrestor can be damaged if the wire rope is allowed to retract without resistance. Check the red indicator pin. If it protrudes remove the arrestor from service.

Service:

Service must always be undertaken by an authorized service depot or by authorized personal. Test certificate / reports to be issued.

Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) publications/standards. Therefore, all requests for interpretations or clarifications concerning these publications must be forwarded through the servicing MAJCOM/DRU/FOA safety, health and/or civil engineering organization, as applicable.

Note: With respect to references in this AFI to installation medical treatment facilities, pursuant to 10 USC 1073c, the Defense Health Agency, a combat support agency, will be responsible for their administration and management; the details of these responsibilities are still being worked and finalized.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This document is substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Major changes include changing this publication to an Air Force Manual, reducing the size of the standard by referring the reader to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety standards and other consensus standards that were previously repeated. Chapters with similar information were combined to reduce redundancy and streamline requirements; a substantial amount of figures and tables were removed, and where appropriate, referenced to the original source; and language for administrative devices, that includes locks and tags not used for hazardous energy control have been moved to Chapter 29, Mishap Prevention Signs and Tags.
