DANGER:
• For his own safety, the operator must perform regular
periodic checks on his equipment to ensure it is
functioning efficiently and satisfy the necessary strength
requirements.
• An annual inspection is mandatory. Depending on the
frequency of use, the environmental conditions and the
regulations at the company or country in which the
harness is used, more frequent periodic checks may be
required.
• The periodic checks must be performed by Tractel
a person trained for this purpose in observance of the
manufacturer's inspection procedures.
• The legibility of the equipment markings (see fig. 9) must
be checked during the periodic inspection.
The rescue harnesses are non-repairable products. Any product
showing the least defect must be taken out of service and
scrapped.

away from any source of heat.
