USER INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE!
Read and understand all the user instructions before using the equipment!
The harness is tested and certified according to EN standards EN-813:2008 (sit
harness) and also EN-358 (support belt). The harness is made of 45 mm wide
polyester strap and metal belt locks/buckles.The harness may be attached to (read
EN-363:2008): Support line (EN-358) with both D rings of the belt at the side as the
only fixing point. Attachment to belt only is not regarded as protection against falling.
The same applies to function of the sit harness (EN 813); devices are connected
here for safe access up or down along a static core-sheathed rope (EN 1891).
The harness may not be used when there is a risk of falling, it is only intended for
positioning. The harness is designed and made for forestry work.
Warning!
Work at high heights requires the user to be in good health (see EN-
365), to be trained in the use of the equipment and to be aware of the risks. Planning
for the evacuation of persons that have fallen and that may remain hanging from
the harness must be done before starting work at high heights. If you are uncertain,
contact the dealer or the manufacturer for more information.
Warning!
Before using the product for the first time it should be suitably adapted.
The adaptation is to be made in a safe place to ensure the correct size, that there
is adequate possibility for adjustment and that an acceptable level of comfort is
achieved for the intended work.
Warning!
The connecting point for sit harness (EN813:2008) is for support
connection only – not for falls.
Warning!
The harness must not be modified or supplemented using accessories
other than those supplied by the manufacturer. Repairs or replacement of parts may
only be carried out by the manufacturer.
Warning!
The harness is only designed for personal protection, all other usage is
forbidden. If possible, the user should have his own personal harness (see EN-365).
It is important that the user makes an ocular inspection of the equipment before use.
Warning!
When connecting the system in accordance with EN-363:2008, the user
shall be fully conversant with the function and use of other components. In the event
of uncertainty contact your dealer or the manufacturer.
Before each use: Carefully make an ocular inspection of the material and function
and ensure that the equipment works. Pay attention to the possibility of webbing
breakage, damaged seams, cuts, discoloration, damaged D-rings and clasps, the
function of adjuster and buckles.
Warning!
The product must be replaced immediately if faults are discovered on the
equipment that are considered to reduce safety. In the event of uncertainty contact
the dealer or the manufacturer for an inspection.
Warning!
The product must be discarded and replaced immediately if a fall has
occurred when using the equipment.
Warning!
With the connection of the fall protection system, the anchor point must
be approved according to EN-795 or the equivalent to withstand a load of 12 kN.
The anchor point should, where possible, be directly above the user. Work is to be
carried out in such a manner that the fall distance and the risk of falling are kept to a
minimum. Avoid sideways movements that cause swinging where you can be thrown
against an object or a wall!
Warning!
Lowest ultimate load on the equipment is 15 kN.
Warning!
When working with the harness the greatest caution must be observed
when suspended in the system. Should the user become unconscious in a sus-
pended mode it will be extremely urgent to relieve the person of mechanical tension
(knowledge of how to take down a person in an emergency is therefore essential).
The situation, referred to as “suspension trauma”, could be fatal. Make sure that
you never work alone. Make sure that you are alert, are sufficiently in motion while
working, have consumed sufficient fluids, and are suitably dressed for the prevailing
conditions.
NB Make a habit of regularly checking the buckles and their correct adjustment while
in use (EN 358 + EN 358).
NOTE!
The material of the product or its function can be affected if subjected to:
extremely high temperature, chemicals, electric power, grinding, cutting, chafing
against sharp edges, and effects of the weather.
NOTE! The equipment must be stored in a dry, dark and well-ventilated space.
Lanyards are to be hung in gentle bights. Appropriate bags and/or transport boxes
are to be used when transporting the equipment.

serial number, date of manufacture, EN standard and the Certification institute’s
number.
NOTE! The maximum service life of the product is 10 years from the date of
manufacture. Incorrect handling and wear can reduce the length of useful life. The
product must be discarded if it has: corrosive damage, numerous broken threads, cut
edges, discoloured webbing, heavily worn, corroded metal parts or if it is not capable
of functioning and has missing markings.

user, maintenance and inspection instruction to the language of the country where
the product is to be used.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE!
The equipment must be stored in a dry, dark and well-ventilated space
protected against steam, sharp edges, vibrations and UV-light. The equipment shall
be kept clean for the best function and durability. Metal parts can be blown clean
with compressed air. Avoid lubricating oil! Slightly soiled equipment can be washed
in tepid water with a soft brush. A mild soap solution can be used. Heavily soiled
equipment can be machine washed in a wash bag with a phosphate-free washing
detergent using a 40° programme. Wet equipment should be hung up to dry. The
equipment shall dry by itself without being exposed to open flames or other heat
sources.
INSPECTION
Warning! For the user’s safety the product must be inspected at least once every
twelve months to ensure its function and durability (read EN-365).

ment or use in aggressive environments.
Warning! The inspection must be performed by a qualified person that has an in-
spection certificate and in accordance with the manufacturer’s inspection procedures.
NOTE! The product label must be legible!
