5.1 - Adjustment.
Slacken the harness straps using the adjustment buckles (Fig.
4.2). Wear the harness: start with waistbelt and leg loops (Fig. 3.1); next, put
the shoulder straps on (Fig. 3.2). Adjust the rear webbing of the shoulder straps
(Fig. 3.3) using the dedicated buckles (Fig. 4.1) so that the rear belay loop sits
at the shoulder blade height (Fig. 3.3). Adjust the front webbing of the shoulder
straps (Fig. 3.4) using the dedicated buckle (Fig. 3.3) until the harness achieves a
snug fit over the body, without being too tight. Slide the front of the shoulder straps
inside their own padding so that the padding sits symmetrically over the user’s
shoulders (Fig. 3.5).
Attention!
The exceeding part of the slings must be always
inserted in the elastic loops, in order to prevent the accidental loosening of the
adjusting buckles.
Attention!
Before use, it is necessary to carry out a hanging
test in a safe environment, in order to ensure that the harness has the correct size,
it owns the possibility of a suitable adjustment and an acceptable comfortability
level for the intended use.
Attention!
It is important to check regularly the buckles
and/or the adjustment devices during the use.
5.2 - Use.
The harness must be connected to the system only by means of one
of the belay loops. The rear belay loop is suitable for climb-ing but it has been
designed specifically for other activities. For connecting the rope to the harness
use preferably a figure of 8 (Fig. 6.1) or two connectors having gate blocking
system with three movements and opposed gate (Fig. 6.2).
Attention!
Do not use
different attachment points than the indicated ones (Fig. 7).
Attention!
Never use
a tie-in method with only one connector, as it may come to be loaded in a wrong
position across the gate.
5.3 - Techniques.
The harness is designed for use for belaying, climbing and ab-
seiling while mountaineering, sport climbing, indoor climbing (Fig. 8) and for use
on vie ferrate and in adventure parks etc.
Attention!
Before each use, pre-arrange
a suitable rescue plan that could be executed in a safe and efficient way.
