1 - PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Prior to use, the following safety instructions and the current status of the
technology must be taken into consideration.
--Keep this operating manual with the product and carefully fill out the
test sheet depending on the product.
--Completely read the operating manual.
--Understand and accept the possibilities and restrictions of the protective
equipment as well as the risks associated with its use.
--This protective equipment should only be used by persons who are
familiar with this operating manual, who are physically and mentally
healthy, and who have been trained in the use of fall-protection systems.
--Medical conditions (cardiovascular problems, intake of medicines, alcohol)
can affect the safety of the user.
--Measures (emergency plan) must be specified for fast rescue prior to using
the fall prevention system. Attention: After a fall a longer period of
suspension can cause severe injuries or even death (suspension trauma).
--When using the protective equipment the respective accident prevention
guidelines (e.g. working in areas where there is danger of falling) must be
complied with.
--For horizontal implementation only use lanyard that are suited for this
purpose, and that have been tested for the respective falling edge (sharp
edges, sheet metal with trapezoidal corrugations, steel girders, concrete,
etc.). Attention: Avoid pendulum fall!
--The combination of the specific elements is only permitted as specified in
this operating manual. Incorrect applications can impair safe function – this
can result in severe or fatal injuries.
--The protective equipment has been developed for personal safety and
may not be used for other purposes.
--Each person active in the areas where there is danger of falling is
responsible for ensuring that the connection to the anchorage system is
kept as short as possible to prevent the possibility of a fall.
WARNING! In case any doubts arise about its condition for safe use or
it has been used to arrest a fall, it is essential for your safety that equipment
be withdrawn of use immediately. Please contact the manufaturer

3 - INSPECTION, POINTS TO VERIFY
PRIOR TO EACH USE THE USER MUST INSPECT:
--Fall-arrest eyelets and anchorage eyelets (e.g. for wear).
--Buckles (e.g: ensure that they have safely locked in place – “click”).
--Harness and seams (e.g. check for cuts, abrasion or other damage).
--Also use the test sheet to ensure for yourself that the protective
equipment is suitable for the application.
ANNUAL INSPECTION:
--The protective equipment must be subjected to a visual and function
check at least every 12 months by an appropriately qualified expert.
Depending on the environment and the intensity of use it may be
necessary to shorten the inspection intervals.
--The inspection must be documented on the test sheet that must be
stored along with the protective equipment.
Function test: The insert buckles should not detach under tensile load
when only one unlock mechanism is activated.
ATTENTION! DO NOT USE ANY LONGER IF:
--Damage or wear is visible on components such as seams and harness
straps (cracks and cuts), plastic and or metal fittings, etc.
--Requirement to check the legibility of the product markings.
--Stress has occurred due to falling.
--Damage is determined through the regular inspection.
--The service life has elapsed.
THE SERVICE LIFE
of your protective equipment depends on the respective use and cannot
be generally defined due to different frequencies of use, use conditions,
care and storage.
When complying with the use guidelines the service life dating from the
year of manufacture, with annual inspection by an expert is a maximum of
8 years after first use and 10 from manufacture.
Repairs, changes, or supplements to the protective equipment should only
be executed by the manufacturer.

2 - USE INSTRUCTIONS
The FALL SAFE FALL ARREST HARNESS should only be used as personal
fall-protection systems in accordance with EN363, as fall-arrest system and
rescue system with the following tested and approved components:
--Height safety devices in accordance with EN360.
--Travelling fall-arrest devices on moveable guides in accordance with
EN353-2.
--Lanyard with strap fall breakers in accordance with EN354 / EN355.
--Belay and rescue devices in accordance with EN341 / EN1496.
--Lanyard in accordance with EN354.
--Carabiners in accordance with EN362.
Combinations with other equipment objects are not permitted and
endanger your safety.
The anchorage point on which the protective equipment is fastened should
be located above the user if possible and must satisfy the requirements
specified in EN795 (minimum strength of 12 kN).
The dorsal and chest D-Rings (A points) must be connected to a fall arrest
system that meets current standards.
Use only A attachment points for fall arrest system connection, for example
a mobile fall arrester, an energy absorber...
In an fall event, the fall arrest attachment point elongates approximately
0.5m maximum. This elongation (approximately 0.5m maximum) must be
taken into account for the clearance calculation.
Warning!
It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold
outside the original country of destination the re-seller shall provide
instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for
