Please read these instructions thoroughly before
using this product and follow all the informa-
tion contained within. Failure to observe these
instructions can lead to a reduction in the pro-
tection this product provides.
Please note: mountaineering and climbing are
dangerous sports which may lead to unforese-
able risks. You are personally responsible for
every action and decision you take. You should
acquaint yourself with the related risks before
undertaking these activities. SALEWA recom-
mends that you seek proper training from pro-
fessionals (such as mountain guides or climbing
schools) before any mountain-related activity.
It is important to become familiar with rescue
operations and how they are carried out safely
and correctly. The manufacturer declines any
responsibility in case of improper or wrong use.
Make sure all the components in your protection
equipment are certified.
B INstRuctIONs FOR use
The correct use and possible misuses are illus-
trated in IMAGE B.
B1) shows the different types of harness. There
are usually four types of harnesses which have
been conceived for diverse uses. Choose the
type which best suits your practice: the full
harness (Type A for adults and B for children)
ensures an upright position and avoids any slip-
ping out from the harness. They are used for chil-
dren or when carrying a rucksack. A seat harness
(type C) allows optimal freedom of movement
and is used for all types of mountaineering. A
chest harness (Type D) can only be used togeth-
er with a seat harness (Type C). Failure to do so
may lead to bad injuries, since a chest harness
in itself does not grant any protection from falls.
B2) shows how to use the buckles on the har-
ness.
B3) shows how to fasten and adjust the harness.
To guarantee comfort and safety, it is imperative
that you choose a harness in the correct size. The
size chart will guide your choice, although you
should try the harness on and adjust it according
to your size. You should be able to pass your
hand held flat between your thigh and the leg
loop. Type B harnesses should only be used by
people weighing 40 kg or less and whose height
is 1,30 mt maximum. Before using your harness,
hang in it from a safe place and make sure it sits
well and is comfortable.
B4) shows how to tie in the safety rope to the
harness.
B5) shows how to use additional parts with your
harness.
WARNING: We have not shown all possible
misuses.
This harness complies to the European Norm EN

D LIFesPAN
The lifespan of the product is dependent on
a number of factors, such as the manner and
frequency of use, UV exposure, moisture, ice,
affects of weather, storage conditions, and dirt
(sand, salt, etc.). Under extreme conditions the
lifespan can be reduced to a single usage or
even less, if the equipment has suffered dam-
age (for example during transport) before ever
being used. Please note: Products manufactured
from synthetic fibres are subject to ageing even
when not used. This ageing depends mainly on
environmental conditions as well as the impact
of UV light.
Indications of maximum lifespan:
Never: Correct storage: up to 10 years since
production
Once or twice a year: up to 7 years
Once a month: up to 5 years
More times a month: up to 3 years
Every week: up to 1 year
Almost daily: up to 0.5 year
Frayed yarn clearly means that the product must
be replaced.
