Environmental hazards should be considered
when selecting fall protection equipment.
Equipment must not be exposed to chemicals,
KHDWÀDPHVRURWKHUHQYLURQPHQWDOFRQGLWLRQV
which may produce a harmful effect. Polyester
should be used in certain chemical or acidic
environments. Use in a corrosive or caustic
environment dictates a more frequent
inspection and servicing program to ensure
the integrity of the device is maintained.
All synthetic material must be protected from
VODJ KRW VSDUNV RSHQ ÀDPHV RU RWKHU KHDW
sources. The use of heat resistant materials is
recommended in these applications.
Do not allow equipment to come in contact
with anything that will damage it including,
but not limited to, abrasive, rough or high-
temperature surfaces, heat sources, electrical
hazards, or moving machinery.
Do not expose the equipment to any hazard
which it is not designed to withstand. Consult
the manufacturer in cases of doubt.
Never remove product labels, which include
important warnings and information for the
authorized person/user.

System Compatibility
Honeywell Miller fall protection products are
designed for use with Honeywell-approved
components only. Substitution or replacement
with non-approved component combinations or
subsystems or both may affect or interfere with
the safe function of each other and endanger
the compatibility within the system. This
incompatibility may affect the reliability and
safety of the total system.
