CAREFULLY READ THIS UIS BEFORE USE THE PRODUCT:

This fullbody harness with integrated work positioning belt is designed to minimize the hazards and/or provide a better protection against the
danger of falling from heights. However, it's important to know that no item of PPE can provide full protection and must always be used carefully during
the risky activity. A full body harness is the only element wich can be used in a fall arrestor system. Before and during the use of the product, it's
important to consider a rescue plan to provide optimal safe conditions. Before use, ensure that there is enough clearance below the user's feet, to
prevent him from hitting the ground in case of fall. Moreover, ensure that there is not obstacle between the user and the ground to avoid collision in case
of fall.
PERFORMANCE AND LIMITS OF USE: the equipment is certified according to EN 361:2002 and EN358 :2018.
The maximal user load is 140 kg for this harness. In the case of an equipped user above 100 kg, It is essential before use to ensure that all other
components of the Fall Arrest system are compatible with the load by referring to their respecting instructions (especially the connecting element limiting
CARD
the forces to 6kN during the arrest of the fall). If it's not the case, the maximal load will be the one element with the lowest capacity (for CE personal fall
protection equipment, 100 kg).
WARNING: "orthostatic intolerance", known as "suspension trauma" or "harness hang syndrome" is the loss of consciousness due to the human body
being held upright with limited movement for a period of time. It can occur after a fall when hanging in the harness, waiting for rescue. To decrease
the risk, use suspension trauma straps in conjunction to your harness, to take the compressive weight off your legs and restore blood circulation while
waiting for rescue.
LIMITATIONS: 1) The equipment must be the personal property of its user. The user must be medically capable to manage his own safety and emergency
situations, competent, must have had a specific training or must be under the direct responsibility of a competent superior.
2) The user must protect his article from all mechanical hazards like sharp edges, tools, exposure to sunlight, or ultraviolet
transport and storage.
3) It should not be used in highly acidic or basic environment. A premature ageing can appear due to climatic conditions (sunshine, cold, humidity).

4) Do not use the working belt for fall arrest. It is to be use for work positioning only.
(F)
5) The resistance force of the anchorage point must be greater than 12kN and the anchorage point must be placed above the user's head. The anchorage
point must be in accordance with EN795:2012.
6) It is important for the safety of the user that the device or the anchorage point is always well positioned and that the work is realized to minimize the
fall risk and the height of fall. Check the space needed under the user on the working place before any possible use to avoid collision with the ground or
with any other obstacle on the fall trajectory.
7) The anchorage system must be at the level of the waist or above. The lanyard must be maintained taut and the free movement limited to 0.5m.
The whole length of a system with an energy absorber and lanyard, manufactured extremities and connectors shouldn't be longer than 2 m (for example
connector + lanyard + energy absorber + connector).
USE: follow Step 1 to 6 to wear the harness. Only use harness of suitable size. A harness either too loose or too tight will restrict movement and will not
provide the optimum level of protection. The size of the harness is marked on a label attached to it and they are available in one size. Always visually
inspect the harness before use to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition to operate correctly.
Step 1: Open all the buckles before donning the harness. Hold the harness by the dorsal D-ring as shown in Fig 1.
Step 2: Insert your arms into the shoulder straps (left arm into the left shoulder strap, right arm into the right shoulder strap) (Fig. 2) and close the plastic
buckle on the chest strap as shown in Fig. 3.
Step 3: Close the buckle on the belt and tighten until the size is suitable for the user.
Step 4: The harness is now on the body with two leg straps hanging down at the back. Pull the leg straps one by one around your thighs outwards to your
front as shown in Fig. 4.
Step 5: Close the parachute buckles of the leg strap one by one as shown in scheme 4 & 5.
Step 6: Tighten the leg straps by pulling the free ends of the straps until the harness fits the body tightly without hindering free movement. As in Fig 5.
None of the straps must be twisted when the harness is donned.
USE OF THE DIFFERENT ATTACHMENT POINTS:
To locate the attachment elements in the harness, check for the separately stitched label showing the 'A' marking near the attachment elements. Do not
use any other point as an attachment element for fall arrest. When the logo 'A2' is on the shoulder strap, it means that the two buckles must be used
together to form an anchorage point.
Dorsal attachment point: designed to connect a connecting element in a Fall Arrest system or in a Fall Restraint system. In the case of a Fall Arrest system,
it is recommended to use the dorsal point.
Sternal attachment point: designed to connect a connecting element in a Fall Arrest system or in a Fall Restraint system. It is recommended to use the
sternal point for the use of guided-type fall arresters EN353, and the applications on ladders or roofs.
Lateral attachment points: located on each side of the positioning belt, they are designed to connect a work positioning lanyard.
To connect properly the fall protection connection element to the right attachment element of the harness, refer to the instructions of the connection
element.
Lanyard keepers: lanyard keepers enable to park the lanyard connector when it is not connected to the anchor point, to avoid discomfort while moving.
In the particular case of usage of a double leg absorbing lanyard, it is important to park the leg of the lanyard non connected to the anchor point to the
lanyard keeper, in order to avoid snagging the non used leg of the lanyard during the fall path, that would prevent the proper deployment of the energy
absorber. Should this lanyard leg get snagged during the arrest of the fall, the keeper would break and release the lanyard leg, enabling full deployment of
the absorber. These are NOT attachment elements of a harness and should never be used in a fall arrest, fall positioning or fall restraint system.
GENERAL INSTRUCTION: 1. Inspect the equipment before use to check for any rupture of webbing, seams, buckles or D-rings. Do not use in case of any
rupture or defects. 2. Any system must be immediately removed from service if its safety is not obvious or if it has already been used to stop a fall. Do not
use this equipment until a competent person has authorized its continued use in writing.
COMPATIBILITY : A fall arrest harness is the only equipment which is allowed to use in a fall arrest system and must be used with a fall arrest system
complying with EN363. The connecting element used shall be such as energy absorber EN355 or fall arrester EN360 and designed to limit the forces
exerced on the body during the arrest of a fall to 6 kN.
The user instructions of each individual component must be checked too.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT : Ensure manufacturer's packing is used during transportation to prevent damage. When not in use, store the work position
belt in a well-ventilated area away from extremes of temperature. Never place heavy items on top of it. If possible, avoid excessive folding and preferably
store it hanging vertically. If the product is wet, allow it to dry fully before placing it into storage.
CLEANING : In case of minor soiling, wipe the work positioning belt with cotton cloth or a soft brush. Do not use any abrasive material. For intense
cleaning wash the equipment in water at a temperature between 30°C to 40°C using a neutral detergent (pH = 7). The washing temperature should not
exceed 40°C. Do not use acid or basic detergents. Follow the washing instruction absolutely without any deviations.
