6. Length of Use
The length of use is dependant upon the respective operating conditions. From experience to date,
under normal operating conditions the length of use of the full body harness can be assumed to be
from 6 to 8 years. The year of manufacture of the full body harness is written on the name plate.
7. Control
•
Before starting work inspect the full body harness for wear of damage. Check freedom of
movement. Check the legibility of the marking.
•
Should there be any doubts about the safe condition of the system or its components, then they are
to be replaced immediately. This must be carried out by the manufacturer or another competent
person.
•
As required, but at least once a year, have an inspection carried out by the manufacturer or a
competent person.
Attention: Damaged full body harnesses and ropes may not be used.
•
Systems strained by falls are to be taken out of use and to be returned to the manufacturer or an
authorized repair work shop for servicing and a new inspection.
Attention: Do not make any alterations to the product.
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
An Instructions for Use / Test Book is supplied with every full body harness. This must be kept with
the equipment.
Also strictly observe the instructions for use of the products used in conjunction with the full body
