FP Pro Vest Style Harness
9.0 CARE, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
9.1 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean the FP Pro Harness with a solution of water and mild laundry detergent. Dry hardware with a clean
cloth and hang harness to air dry. Do not speed drying with heat. Excessive accumulation of dirt, paint, or
other foreign matter may prevent proper function of the FP Pro Harness and, in severe cases, weaken the
webbing. Questions concerning harness conditions and cleaning should be directed to MSA Rose.
9.2 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Equipment which is damaged or in need of maintenance must be tagged as “UNUSABLE” and removed
from service. Corrective maintenance (other than cleaning) and repair, such as replacement of elements,
must be performed by the MSA Rose factory. Do not attempt field repairs.
9.3 STORAGE
Store the harness in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where heat, moisture,
light, oil, and chemicals or their vapors or other degrading elements may be present. Equipment which is
damaged or in need of maintenance should not be stored in the same area as usable equipment. Heavily
soiled, wet, or otherwise contaminated equipment should be properly maintained (e.g. dried and cleaned)
prior to storage. Prior to using equipment which has been stored for long periods of time, a Formal Inspection
should be performed by a competent person. See section 12.
STEP 9
For correct fit, the back D-ring should be
centered between the shoulder blades. The chest strap
should be centered at chest level (over sternum). Hip
D-rings, if present, should be positioned on each side of
hip with circular rings facing forward.
TAKING OFF (DOFFING) THE HARNESS
To remove the harness, unbuckle
the thigh straps, place the arms beneath the shoulder straps, and lift the harness
over the head. After use, return the FP Pro harness to proper person and place
for cleaning and storage as described in section 9.0.
