Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (< -30°C or
> 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system during use, sharp
edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Check the condition of the harness before every use: visual inspection to check the condition of the straps (no signs of cuts, burns or abnormal shrinkage), the
seams (no visible damage), the metal parts (no deformation or rust) and that the connectors work properly. In the event of deformation or doubt the harness
should be withdrawn from service. After a fall the product must not be reused and withdrawn from use (see section VERIFICATION PROCEDURE).
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the harness.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Strap material: polyester and/or polyamide. Buckle material: heat treated steel, stainless steel and/or aluminium.
Maximum rated load of the harness 140 kg.
SUITABILITY FOR USE:
The harness must be used as part of a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted on the user
during the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (including EN361/EN358/EN813) is the only body-gripping device that may be used. It may be
dangerous to create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Read the recommendations on using
each component in the system before use.
VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:
The equipment has a service life of 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by KRATOS SAFETY), but this
duration may increase or decrease depending on how it is used and/or the results of annual checks.
The product must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after a fall and at least every year by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, in
order to guarantee its resistance and thus the safety of the end-user. The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each verification; date of
inspection and date of next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.
SERVICING AND STORAGE:
(Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the harness in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface. Clean it with water and soap, wipe it with a dry rag and hang it up in a
well-ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have become damp
during use. The metal parts should be wiped with a cloth impregnated with paraffin oil. Never use bleach or detergents. The harness should be stored in its
packaging in a warm, dry, ventilated place, protected from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
