6. TO BE OBSERVED PRIOR
TO USE
Prior to using it, this product must be subject to
a visual inspection in order to verify its integrity,
readiness for use and proper functioning.
Once the product has been subject to a fall, its use
must be discontinued immediately. If the slightest
doubt remains, the product must to be retired or may
not be used again until a competent person, having
subjected such product to the required testing and
inspections, has approved its further use in writing.
It must be ensured that the recommendations for
use with other components be complied with:
lanyards shall meet EN 358 or EN 354. Further PPE
components must meet the harmonized standards
under the regime of regulation (EU) 2016/425. An-
chor points must withstand a static load of 12 kN
according to EN 795:2012. WARNING: When using
a tree as the anchor point the same loads may be
applied to the tree. Pay attention to the choice of an
appropriate anchor system! Ensure all neighbouring
components are compatible. Ensure all components
are correctly configured. Failure to do so increases
risk. Risk of serious injury or fatality.
It is the responsibility of the user that a relevant and

seeable emergencies needs to be in place before
this product can be used. Prior to and during use,
rescue measures that can be executed safely and
effectively must be considered at all times.
SUSPENSION TRAUMA
Upon prolonged use of the harness as a sit har-
ness the symptoms described below may occur:
12
Hanging/sitting immobile in suspension in a harness
for longer periods of time (for example, in cases
of unconsciousness) may cause one's blood flow
to be restricted and eventually lead to a so-called
suspension trauma (also known as harness hang
syndrome).
MORTAL DANGER! – Call EMERGENCY SERVICES
immediately! Possible symptoms include paleness of
the skin, excessive perspiration, shortness of breath,
impaired vision, dizziness, and nausea (This list is
incomplete, as symptoms may vary considerably
from one person to another).
Persons suffering from such symptoms should
therefore, provided that they are still able to, take
appropriate measures themselves in order to keep
the blood from pooling in their legs (e.g. by moving
the legs or by taking the weight off the leg loops, for
example by standing in foot loops). Where this is not
possible, it must be ensured that victims be rescued
as fast as possible from the suspended position
and that appropriate first aid measures be taken.
CAUTION! NEVER PLACE A RESCUED PER-
SON RIGHT AWAY IN A POSITION FLAT ON THE
GROUND or IN THE SHOCK POSITION -> MORTAL
DANGER! The rescued person must be put in either
a sitting or a squatting position, or, if unconscious,
in a stable lateral position, preferably with a raised
upper body (to avoid heart failure due to the exces-
sively fast return flow of the blood from the lower
half of the body)
