Setup and Fitting Instructions

1. Inspect the Harness: Before each use, visually inspect the entire harness for cuts, fraying, broken stitches, heat damage, chemical damage, or any other signs of wear or damage. Check all buckles, D-rings, and hardware for deformation, cracks, or corrosion.
2. Hold by Dorsal D-Ring: Hold the harness by the back dorsal D-ring. Shake the harness gently to allow all straps to fall into place.
3. Don the Harness: Slip the shoulder straps over your shoulders, ensuring the dorsal D-ring is positioned between your shoulder blades. The straps should not be twisted.
4. Connect Leg Straps: Bring the leg straps between your legs and connect them to the appropriate buckles. Ensure the straps are snug but not overly tight, allowing for full range of motion.
5. Connect Chest Strap: Fasten the chest strap across your chest. Position it approximately mid-chest level.
6. Adjust Straps: Adjust all straps (shoulder, leg, and chest) to achieve a snug fit. The harness should fit securely without restricting movement or circulation. Ensure there is no slack in the straps. The waist pad should sit comfortably around your waist.
7. Verify Fit: After adjustment, ensure that you can comfortably place a flat hand between the strap and your body, but not a clenched fist. The dorsal D-ring should remain centered on your back.

Operating Instructions

1. Anchor Point Selection: Always connect your lanyard to an approved anchorage point capable of supporting 5000 lbs (22.2 kN) per worker. The anchor point should be located directly above the work area to minimize swing fall.
2. Lanyard Connection: Attach the quick-lock hook of the shock-absorbing lanyard to the dorsal D-ring on the back of your harness. Ensure the connection is fully engaged and locked.
3. Work Positioning (if applicable): For work positioning, attach appropriate positioning lanyards to the side hip D-rings. These are not for fall arrest.
4. Maintain Clearances: Ensure that the work area below you has sufficient fall clearance to prevent contact with lower levels or obstructions in the event of a fall. Refer to the fall clearance diagram in the Safety Information section.
5. Post-Fall Procedure: In the event of a fall, immediately seek rescue. Do not attempt to self-rescue unless specifically trained and equipped to do so. After a fall, the harness and lanyard must be removed from service and inspected by a competent person or discarded.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Hand wash the harness and lanyard with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
• Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection before each use. A competent person should perform a detailed inspection at least every six months. Look for:
  • Cuts, fraying, or abrasions on webbing.
  • Broken or loose stitching.
  • Deformation, cracks, corrosion, or sharp edges on metal hardware (D-rings, buckles, hooks).
  • Damage to the energy absorption system casing or indicator.
  • Any signs of chemical exposure, heat damage, or excessive wear.
• Storage: Store the harness and lanyard in a clean, dry, cool, and dark place, away from direct sunlight, corrosive chemicals, extreme temperatures, and sharp objects.
• Service Life: The service life of fall protection equipment can be affected by usage, storage, and environmental factors. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific service life recommendations.

Troubleshooting

• Harness does not fit correctly: Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the sizing chart. Adjust all straps for a snug but comfortable fit. If the harness still does not fit properly within the specified weight and size ranges, it may not be suitable for your body type.
• Difficulty connecting buckles: Ensure buckles are aligned correctly and free from debris. If a buckle is stiff or damaged, do not force it; inspect for issues or replace the equipment.
• Signs of wear or damage: Immediately remove the equipment from service if any damage is found during inspection. Do not attempt to repair damaged fall protection equipment.
• Lanyard not reaching anchor point: Ensure the lanyard length is appropriate for your work environment and anchor point location. Never extend the lanyard beyond its intended length.
