length of 2.0 m, including energy absorbers, lanyards and
the "FIX" extension.
The Product has been tested for edge stability according to
appendix A of prEN 354:2008. This is communicated by the edge
symbol with the following meaning: The lanyard has been tested
successfully for horizontal application and fall across a deburred
90° steel edge with a radius of 0.5 mm. Therefore, the lanyard
can be used in combination with an energy absorber when similar
edges, for instance on rolled steel profi les or wooden planks, oc-
cur. Nonetheless be alert to the following hazards: The lanyard
has been tested on a 90° edge (right angle). When edges with
acuter angles (lower than 90°, wedge shaped) occur, additional
precautions must be taken. An adjustable lanyard must not be
adjusted while moving in the area with acute falling hazard. If
the lanyard is used in connection with a class C anchor device
according to EN 795, the movement of the horizontal movable
guide must be considered when the clear height below the user is
determined. Note that the user may hit parts of a building when
falling over an edge; an injury hazard is thus entailed.
If the harness extenison „FIX" is not used, fi x it in the rubber
clip provided for.
Fall arrest harnesses which are tightly integrated into clothing:
The harness is attached when the clothing is put on. With trou-
sers, the fi t of the leg loops is determined through the choice of
trouser size. Additional fi tting should be adjusted as indicated be-
low. A „highly fl ammable" harness integrated into dungarees may
only be used together with a suitable protective jacket.
Partial system, Fall Arrest Harness to EN 361
If partial systems are combined into a fall arrest harnessto EN
361 without dedicated connecting elements coming with the
systems, only connecting elements (karabiners) to EN 362, type
M, may be used.
Only approved partial systems may be connected to the spots
indicated.
Sit harness according to EN 813:
In case of a sit harness, the connection component is to be
fasted to the central work positioning attachment point. When
using a sit harness in conjunction with a chest harness (acc. to
EN 12277), please bear the following in mind: Use of a chest
harness is determined using a risk analysis carried out by a user
trained in this technique. Wearing a chest harness increases
wearing comfort through the upper body support function.
Please pay careful attention to the usage instruction of the chest
harness. Danger! A chest harness may never be used without
a sit harness!
Attention! Sit harnesses are not suitable for fall arrest
purposes!
Work Positioning Harness according to EN 358:
Connecting components are to be fastened to the lateral work
positioning eyelets; the lateral attachment points may only used
for work positioning purposes. The connection device for work
positioning harnesses must be kept taught, the tie-off point must
be above or at hip height and the free fall height must be limited
to 0.5 m.
For work positioning harnesses with a dorsal restraint loop, the
following must be unconditionally observed:
The dorsal restraint loop is neither a positioning eyelet for
work positioning according to EN 358 nor a fall arrest eyelet!
This dorsal restraint loop is used in combination with an
appropriate connecting element exclusively for path limiting, so
that the user cannot end up in a fall risk area (restraint according
to EN 358).
If applicable, depending on the model, a positioning harness
can be integrated in a fall arrest harness (type dependent)
according to EN 361. Please observe the marking.
Caution! Work positioning harnesses are not appropriate for
fall arrest purposes!
