Product specific safety notes
Work positioning belts must not be used in a fall arrester system!
A restraint system is not designed to absorb falls from a height!
A seat harness according to EN813 is unsuitable for absorbing falls in fall arrest systems according to EN363. A seat harness
according to EN813 is only suitable for absorbing falls, if it is integrated in a full body harness according to EN361.
The use of a full body harness in a fall arrest system is only admissible with a tape fall absorber according to EN355 or a
retractable type fall arrester according to EN360.
The following applies for Austria according to BMASK-461.309/0006-VII/A/2/2011: Depending on the duration of work, seats or work positioning
seats must be used in addition to the full body harness:
- When working (working time between two breaks or changes of activity) no longer than 30 min, a suitable full body harness with integrated
seat harness according to EN813 is sufficient.
- When working more than 30 min up to max 4 hours, a seat must be used in addition to the full body harness with integrated seat harness
according to EN813.
- When working longer than 4 hours, a work positioning seat with lumbar support and a possibility to relieve the legs must
be used in addition to the full body harness.
Marking of the fall arrest eyelet:
Marking of the fall arrest eyelets in the chest area.
The marking "A" for fall arrest eyelets in the back area is stamped in the plastic sheets.
The fall arrest eyelets are provided with a yellow marking label (this marking label can be removed by the user).

Correct putting on and size adjustment
Get an overview by lifting the full body harness by the fall arrest eyelet (1). To put on the full body harness more easily, hook off the twistlock
karabiner (13) on the hip belt, increase the length of the hip belt (with an adjustable buckle (9) on the right and on the left) and open the thigh
fasteners (10). Step into the hip belt as into trousers while holding the triple lock karabiner (13). While holding the triple lock karabiner (13) in
your hand, pull the shoulder strap over the head to the front and hook the karabiner again into the textile loop on the hip belt. Close the thigh
fasteners (10). Adjust the full body harness to the body size by using the adjustable lockings.
It is essential for the user's safety that a work positioning belt, a full body harness or a seat harness is properly adjusted in size. A work
positioning belt, a full body harness or a seat harness should fit tightly to the body, however without limiting free movement of the body or
exerting compression on it. A full body harness without integrated seat harness must be adjusted differently from a full body harness in a system
for rope assisted access. Full body harnesses in fall arrest systems require a closer-fitting adjustment to the body size, because the full body
harness slips on the body in case of a fall. If full body harness is used in a system for rope assisted access, more care has to be taken on
comfort, because the user leans or sits in the system.
A full body harness with an anchor point on the back has to be adjusted so that the anchor point is on a level with the shoulder blades. A full
body harness with an additional anchor point in the chest area has to be adjusted so that the rear anchor point is situated between the shoulder
blades and the front anchor point on the lower end of the sternum. Further care has to be taken that a completely put on full body harness fits
the body symmetrically with all loose ends of the straps secured and that no straps and/or components are twisted.
Before using it for the first time, wearing comfort and adjustability should be checked in a protected area and a safe place. Thereby it must be
ensured that a full body harness, a work positioning belt or a seat harness is the right size, providing sufficient adjustment possibilities and an
adequate level of comfort for the intended use.

loose end of the strap.
The adjustment range can be increased by raising the
lower frame buckle and simultaneously pulling.

By pulling on the loose end of the strap, the adjustment
range is shortened.
