Personal protective
falls from height: Automatic retractable fall
arrester).

Regarding the harness' chest attaching
element, to connect a mobile fall arrester,
including an anchorage support (compliant
with EN 353-1 Personal protective equipment
against falls from height: Mobile fall arrester
including a rigid anchorage support, or
compliant with standard EN 353-2 Personal
protective equipment against falls from
height: Mobile fall arrester including a flexible
anchorage support).

Regarding lateral anchorage elements, to
connect a work positioning system if necessary.
ANCHORAGE POINT
If possible, use anchorage devices (compliant with
standard EN 795 Protection against falls from height:
Anchorage devices – please refer to the corresponding
user instructions) or structural anchors, i.e., elements
permanently fixed to a structure (wall, post, etc.). In all
cases,
Check that the anchorage point:

Is always correctly positioned and that the
work is performed in a manner to reduce the
risk of falling and the fall height to a minimum.

Offers minimum resistance of 12 kN,

Is located above the operator (cf. Fig. VI
p.11).

Is vertically in line with the working surface:
(maximum angle ± 30°),

Is totally suited to the equipment attaching
device

And that its surroundings does not comprise of
any sharp edges.
CARABINER
The connector must comply with standard EN 362.
Please refer to the user instructions, especially for
fixing to the anchorage point.

The carabiner must be connected directly to
the harness with no intermediary buckle.

When the carabiner is used for attachment to
an anchorage point, check for compliance with
the recommendations of the «ANCHORAGE
POINT" paragraph.
The connector must comply with standard EN 362.
Please refer to the user instructions, especially for
fixing to the anchorage point.
WHEN CONNECTING THE CARABINER, MAKE
16
equipment against SURE THAT THE LOCKING SYSTEM IS IN PLACE .
CAUTION:
The carabiner is an essential component for your safety
(please refer to the corresponding user instruction).
We therefore advise you to:

Assign the connector to a single person where
possible,

Check before each use for any signs of
deformation or, wear and for the correct
operation of the locking system,

If it has a manual locking system, do not attach
and remove it several times during a working
day
SIMILARLY, IF THE CARABINER HAS BEEN USED
TO ARREST A FALL, IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE
SAKE OF SAFETY, TO RETURN IT FOR CHECKING .
The attachment of the fall arrest system MUST
BE MADE SOLELY by the back attaching element
provided for this purpose (D-ring or webbing attaching
extension) (cf. Fig. VII p.11) or by chest anchorage
points (webbing links or D-rings) (cf. Figs. VIII p.11-
IX p.11). The chest attaching webbing points must
imperatively be used with two points at the same
time. When connecting a shock-absorbing lanyard
to the dorsal extension strap on the harness, ensure
that the total length of the lanyard + extension strap
+ connector does not exceed 2m. When connecting
a shock-absorbing lanyard to the dorsal extension
strap on the harness , ensure that the total length of
the lanyard + extension strap + connector does not
exceed 2m.
SPACE CLEARANCE
If there is a risk of falling, or if anchorage can only be
provided below the attaching points of the harness, it is
essential to use a lanyard fitted with an energy absorber
Before using an energy absorber incorporated into a
lanyard, check for a minimum space clearance below
the user's feet as necessary, to prevent any collision
with the structure or the ground (please refer to the
corresponding user instruction). With a weight of 100
kg and a fall factor of two (worst case scenario), the air
clearance D is the stopping distance H (2L+1.75m) plus
an additional distance of 1 m. (cf. X p.11). Important:
if the harness is equipped with an extension strap,
take this into account when calculating the clearance
distance.
CONNECTION TO A POSITIONING LANYARD

Connect the end of the positioning lanyard
to one of the 2 lateral D-rings (the adjusting
element may be connected to either the left or
right lateral D-ring): Fig. XI p.11

Pass the positioning lanyard behind the
structure (post, trunk, etc.) and fasten the other
