DESCRIPTION (#2)
The sit harness ARB'O is a personal protective equipment (PPE) against falls from a height, used in work
positioning, work restraint and rope access systems. This waistbelt is particularly suitable for pruning
work. It complies with standard EN358, with 2 lateral hooking rings (Ref.1) and 2 adjustable offset
hooking plates (Ref.2). It also has 2 ventral attachment bridges of different lengths (Ref.3 and 4) and
fitted with aluminum rings, in accordance with standard EN813:2008. The height of these 2 bridges is
adjustable to meet the uses and techniques of each user.
This belt exists in 5 sizes to adapt to the morphology of the user (S-M-L-XL-XXL) (#3).
The ARB'O sit harness is approved for use by a person weighing 140kg or less (the weight includes the
user, his tools and his equipment).
Materials: The main straps are made of polyester and the other components are made of polyamide
and aluminum.
WEARING THE BELT (#4):
1 and 2 - Open the automatic buckles of the belt and thigh strap (Ref.6 and 9). If necessary, untwist
the straps.
3 - Put on the belt by the feet to the waist, taking care to position the attachment bridges (Ref.3 and 4)
on the front.
4 - Close the automatic belt buckle (Ref.6) and adjust the tension of the strap.
5 - Position the anti-slip loops (Ref.7) and store the excess strap in the elastic loop.
6 - Close the automatic thigh buckles (Ref.9) around the thighs. Adjust the tension of the straps and
store the excess in the elastic loop.
7 - Thanks to adjustment buckles with bar (Ref.11), shorten or lengthen the distance between the
belt and the offset hooking plate to adjust the height of the bridges (Ref.3 and 4) to the morphology,
techniques and uses of the user. The presence of 2 bridges allows to quickly have 2 types of adjustment
in use without actions on the bar adjustment loops (Ref.11). Store the excess strap in the loops.
8 - Adjust the height of the bungee cords adapted to the user's morphology (Ref.12).
9 - Check that all the straps are properly adjusted to the body shape, not too loose, not too tight and
