AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS: ❶❷❸❹❺❻❼ It is recommended to assign each user a harness. This PPE can only be used by one
person at a time. During all these operations, be careful not to twist the straps. Unfold the harness to put it in the correct direction (1).
Harness: Put the harness over the back, pass the head through the upper part (2). Harness equipped with a vest: Thread the vest harness
(2). Close the Bavarian sternum strap (3). Pass the lower part between the legs. Assemble the lower and upper part through the loops
(4). Closing and opening of the different types of loops: ⑤⑥⑦⑧. A harness must be adjusted to the size of the user: adjust the straps
by sliding them in the loops and openings provided for this purpose, so that the seat strap is in place and the back plate is located
between the shoulder blades, adjust the adjustable buckles. The harness (and/or the sit harness) must be strapped as close to the body
as possible, without excess, to allow the user free movement. These settings must be made at once only and before the user is in the
fall risk area. The harness anchor point must be located above the user (minimum resistance: 12 kN (EN795). The harness must be
connected to the fall protection system through the dorsal or sternal attachment point indicated by the letter A. The sternal attachment
point can be of 2 types: type A/ 2 (2 loops connected via a connector) OR type A (two independent attachment points). ATTACHMENT
POINTS: (cf. marking label on the product) The harness can be equipped with: A-EN361 : ■ 1 attachment point on the back, which can
be connected to a fall arrester system. A steel D-ring provides the attachment point on the back. ■ 1 attachment point on the chest,
which can be connected to a fall arrester system. The attachment point on the chest comprises two strap loops, which must be connected
together by a connector. These attachment points are the only ones to be able to accommodate a fall arrester device (energy absorber
(EN355), retractable type fall arresters (EN360), mobile fall arrester system (EN353-1 / EN353-2) in accordance with EN363. During
use, the overall system must not be in contact with: cutting elements, sharp edges and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh chemicals,
fire, hot metal, all types of electrical conductors... During operation, regularly check the closing and adjustment and/ or fastening
elements. For safety reasons and before each use, check: that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked / that the operating
instructions described for each component of the system are met / that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk,
the drop height and the pendulum movement in the case of a fall. / that the vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of
the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal functioning of the fall arrest system. The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H +
additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from the initial position to the final position (user's balance after the fall
arrest). The vertical clearance depends on different factors, but not limited to, it includes: - The maximum deflection of the anchorage
device. - The maximum deflection of the carabiners. - The elongation of the linking system. - The maximum stretch of the body
supporting device. - The anchorage location relative to where the user is when a fall occurs. - The height of the user. Additionally, a
safety distance of 1 m is added to obtain the vertical clearance value. For the different factors, refer to the recommendations for use for
each component of the system. Ensure that proper fall clearance exists in order to prevent striking ground or other objects in the event
of a fall. Provide a safe distance from the ground and the power lines or areas with an electrical hazard. WARNING ! RAH33 (EN1498)
(see diagrams). (PART 1) WARNINGS: The harness may be equipped with the rescue straps. The rescue straps are only used for
rescue (EN1498). The rescuer must ensure that the rescued person is not endangered by moving the straps, the rescue strap, or by
contact with the attachment elements (for example, a connector hitting the head of the rescued person in an unexpected incident, such
as a short-distance unhook). In the case of extended suspension, there is a risk of injury due to the cessation of blood flow in the legs
that can cause loss of consciousness, which, if not taken into account rapidly, may cause a dramatic outcome. For the straps of class A
and C (EN1498), it is recommended that the rescuer must ensure that the response time is as short as possible, when the rescued
person will be maintained in the rescue strap. This is to reduce the risks of respiration and circulation of the rescued person. ■
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS (See reference table) : - Materials : (PART 4).- Usage limits: Before any PPE implementation
operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the operation. SHELF LIFE: Textile products or those
containing textile elements (harnesses, belts, shock absorbers etc...): maximum life of 10 years from date of manufacture. The shelf life
is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly:
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. In the case of doubt or if the device was used to stop a fall, it must be
immediately withdrawn from use and returned to the manufacturer or any competent person appointed by them. The shelf life is not a
substitute for periodic verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product. TO FIND YOUR LOCAL ANNUAL
REVIEW CENTRE, VISIT WWW.DELTAPLUS.EU. 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
must 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.
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 must 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. This check must be carried out in strict compliance with the manufacturer's periodic examination procedures.
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 readability of the product labelling must be checked periodically. ▪WARNINGS: The
user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the instructions in this manual.
Any static or dynamic overload may damage the PPE. The weight of the user, including his clothing and equipment must not exceed the
maximum weight indicated on the fall arrest. It is dangerous to create your own personal fall protection 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
