1. Locate and hold the D-ring at the back.
2. Ensure that the parts of the harness fall out naturally without any
twisting webbing.
3. Hold the harness shoulder strap and put on the harness as you would
do with a jacket.
4. Connect the waist-belt buckle, ensure you hear an audible click that
indicates the buckle is properly fastened.
5. Grab the leg straps and put them together with the respective buckle.
Adjust the leg straps so they sit together tightly around the legs
(adjust the circumference so that you can get your fingers through, but
not the hand).
6. Tighten the lower front adjustments so that the harness sits tightly
against the body, but without excessive restriction. Adjust the shoulders
so that it starts to limit your movement when you stretch backwards,
and that it does not prevent you from bending fully forwards.
This harness has been tested and certified in accordance with EN standards
EN-361:2002 (fall protection), and EN-358: 1999 relevat parts (support belt)
According to CNB/P11.043,Rev2. and according to PPE Regulation (EU)
2016/425. The harness main purpose is to catch and hold a body if the body
is subjected to a fall, or hold a body safe in order to work hands free. The
harness is made from dubble weft 45 mm wide polyester tape and metal
components.
The harness may be connected to (read EN-363:2008):
•
Guided type fall arresters including a flexible anchor line.
•
Energy absorbing Lanyards.
•
Retractable type fall arresters.
•
Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line.
The attachment points on the harness are marked by a label "A" which may
be used for fall protection systems. These points are the D-ring/carabiners
at the back or chest, and, as necessary, both webbing loops (wraps) on the
chest. A full-body harness (EN361) is the only type of harness that can keep
the body in an upright position when it is used in a fall protection system.
If the harness is fitted with D-rings its equivalent for restraint, (EN-358).
Refer to RFU CNB/P11.043,Rev 2. But only marked wit the RFU number on
the harness. Front connection point is suitable for helicopter hoist or similar

Warning! Work in a fall protection environment requires that the user is fully
fit (ref EN-365), has completed training in the use of the equipment and is
aware of the risks that can arise. Prior to starting to work in fall risk
environment, plans shall be made for how to evacuate a person who has
fallen or been injured and/or possibly been left hanging in the harness. If you
are unsure, contact your dealer or the manufacturer for further information.
Warning! Prior to using the product for the first time, the harness should be
correctly fitted to the individual worker. The fitting must take place in a safe
location to ensure the right size, that there is an adequate degree of
adjustment and an acceptable level of comfort for the work that is to be
carried out.
Before each use: Carry out a careful visual check of the material and
function and ensure that the equipment works. Be careful in relation to tape
breaches, broken seams/stitching, cut damage, discoloration, damaged
D-rings and buckles, and the function of eyelets and wraps.
Warning! The harness is only for Personal Protection Equipment use. All
other usage is forbidden. If possible, each user shall have their own personal
harness (ref EN-365). It is important that the user visually checks their
equipment prior to use (self-check).
Warning! For connection to a system in accordance with EN-363:2008 the
user shall be fully conversant with all the functions of the component parts
and their use. In case of doubt contact your dealer or the manufacturer.
Warning! If any fault in the equipment is detected which may impact on the
safety of its use, the product must be replaced immediately. In case of doubt

immediately be discarded and replaced or inspected by competent person.
Warning! For connection to a fall protection system the anchorage point
shall be of an approved type in accordance with EN-795 or the equivalent
tested for this purpose, and cope with a static loading of the suitable
standards. As far as possible the anchorage point shall be directly above the
user. The work shall be carried out in such a manner that the fall distance and
fall risk are minimized. Avoid lateral movements that can cause a pendulum
where a person would swing into an object or a wall causing injuries.
Warning! The harness is certified with weight of 140Kg User weight
recommendation should not be significant over 140Kg.
Warning! Make sure that there is sufficient free space below the workplace;
in certain cases, the distance can to be up to 6 meters below the user if the
absorber is fully activated. Calculate the fall clearance bearing in-mind:
•
The height of the user;
•
The position of the anchorage points;
•
The lanyard length (rope/wire/webbing);
