Application to EN 361 (Fig. 8a – e):
The harness is safely connected to a rescue or fall
arrest system at the catch eyes (A or A/2); the con-
nectors employed (karabiners should withstand a
lateral force of ≥ 15 kN) must conform to EN 362 and
are fastened to the catch eyes (marked A or A/2).
When using the front catch eyes A/2 both eyes must
be attached to the connector conforming to EN 362.
Catch systems may be used with or without energy
absorbing elements. In case of a fall, the fall arrest
systems must reduce the fall arresting force to a
value that can be born by the human body (6 kN).
Only one fall arrest harness to EN 361 may be used
in each fall arrest system! Before using a fall arrest
system, ensure that sufficient free room for a fall
from the work position is available below the user.
Free room for fall below the user
The elongation (Hs) of the harness upon a fall load is
max. 27 cm. Observe the corresponding instructions
supplied with the lanyard (energy absorbing lan-
yards, height securing devices, guided-type fall ar-
resters on movable or stationary guide) as well as
those of other components that may be used.

4a On TripleLock buckles flip the frame up to attach
it to the hook. To loosen the buckle, force the frame
into the buckle housing and lift the buckle up at the
same time.
4b To loosen EasyGlider buckles flip them up. To
close, pull the outbound webbing. Pull the covers
over the buckles upon closing.

Fig. 7 Upon adjustment but before using the harness
you should try being suspended in it for at least 5
minutes in the planned usage situation. The harness
must fit comfortably. When properly selected (Fig. 12
size table) and adjusted the suspension test must
not result in hindered breathing and/or pain. When
the harness has been applied, its metal parts should
not contact genitals or arm pits. Free suspension in
the harness must not lead to excessive arching of the
back, tensioning of the body, pressure on the geni-
tals, loins or arm pits. Women's lymphatic vessels of
the breast should not be constricted if at all possible.
