that pass over the sheaves.) These points are the
sections of the cable that are most likely to fail.
Note any deterioration that results in a notable loss
of
th
e original strength. (See the conditions that are
described below.) Determine if further use of the
cable will constitute a hazard.
Inspect the cable on a daily basis for the following
