USAGE LIMITS:

Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the operation.
Textile products or those containing textile elements (harnesses, belts, shock absorbers etc...): maximum life of 10 years in storage (from
date of manufacture), 7 years after the first use.
The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly:
- Non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use
- "Aggressive" work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges...
- Particularly intensive use
- Shock or significant constraint
- Disregard for the product item's history
Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye.
Warning: certain extreme conditions can shorten the shelf life by a few days.
If in doubt, always remove the product for it to undergo either: - a review - destruction
The shelf life is not a substitute for periodic verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product.

No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer nor without using their
procedures.
Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual.
Do not use this equipment beyond its limits.
To ensure its working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product should be checked systematically:
1 / visually inspect the following points:
- State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing
- Condition of seams and fasteners: no visible damage
- Condition of the metal parts: no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation
- General condition: look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and other climatic conditions
- Correct operation and locking of connectors
Specific conditions such as humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc.. can significantly reduce the
operation of the fall arrest device.
2 / in the following cases:
- Before and during use
- if in doubt
- In the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect operation
- If it has been subjected to stress during a previous fall
- At least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by them.
PERIODIC REVIEW OF PPE:
An examination should be performed at least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by them.
This very important check is related to the maintenance and efficacy of the PPE and hence the user's safety. A written document authorising
reuse should be obtained during this audit in order to reuse the PPE. This document will clarify that the user's safety is linked to maintaining
the efficiency and resistance of the equipment.
Replace the PPE if necessary.
In accordance with European regulations, the identification form must be completed prior to the first use of the product and then updated and
kept with the product as well as the manual by the user. The legibility of the product labelling should be checked periodically.
WARNING:
THE BELT IS NOT A GRIP BODY DEVICE, ONLY THE HARNESS IS RESERVED FOR THIS FUNCTION (EN361). THE THIGH BELT
MUST NOT BE USED AS A FALL ARREST.
In case of a fall risk, it is necessary to supplement this system with a collective or personal restraint or protection device against falls from a
height (EN363).
WARNING:
The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the instructions in this manual.
WARNING: Any static or dynamic overload may damage the PPE.
WARNING: The weight of the user, including his clothing and equipment must not exceed the maximum weight indicated on the fall arrest
Maximum nominal load for the belt with leg straps: 150 kg
It is dangerous to create your own fall arrest system as each safety function may interfere with another safety function.
No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer without using their
procedures.
Do not use beyond the scope of use defined in the usage instructions, nor beyond its limits.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual.
This equipment should be used in work environments with minimum temperatures of -20°C / maximum of +50°C. (See reference table).
FEATURE OUTSIDE OF STANDARD:
This PPE has been tested with a mass constraint 40% / 50% higher than the standard requirements (at 140 kg / 150 kg) , see product
marking.
