Important notes
Users of this Safety Harness:
must ensure that the maximum nominal load of 100 kg is not exceeded
must be instructed about usage and test procedures prior to use
must ensure that the safety harness is only used with a personal fall protection system in accordance with EN
363 so that the potential fall height is kept to a minimum. Sufficient clearance below the operator must be en-
sured before using the fall protection system, so that impact with the ground or other structures is not possible
before the system has safely arrested the fall. The specifications from the instruction manuals for the individual
components of the specific fall protection system in use must be observed in order to determine the required
clearance. Where individual components of the fall protection system are combined, it must be ensured that the
functionality of each individual component is retained without restriction and that combined components do not
cause mutual interference
