How to don
Slip on the orange-red shoulder straps like a jacket, with the lifeline ring to the back.
Pull the free end of the waist strap through the twin-buckle at the other end and return
through the inner buckle. Step into the loose hanging leg straps; pull them through the
crotch and through the corresponding rings and secure using the twin-buckle, like with
the waist strap. The seat support must be in position under the buttocks.
How to use
The body harness (DIN 7478 sec. A) may be used only in conjunction with a fall-
preventing slide and lanyards (DIN 23326) or a lifeline (DIN 7471) together with a fall-
damping device. The harness including all accessories must be checked for good work-
ing order before put to use. Never use damaged equipment. Safe anchoring points
must be provided above the user’s position. Possible fall height must be kept at mini-
mum using rope shorteners. Never work with slack lanyards or lifeline. Be careful that
lifeline and ring (2) are in proper position at all times. Lanyards must be snapped on
directly to D-rings (5) on harness.
