Instructions For Use Of Sailing Harness; Sizing And Adjustment - Mustang Survival MD6254 Guide D'utilisation

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF SAILING HARNESS

This PFD has a sailing harness, designed and tested in accordance
with ISO 12401 requirements.
The harness:
• Is intended to prevent you from falling overboard – it does not
protect you against falls from a height
• Must use a tether with an quick-release under-load hardware
• Must have an attachment point able to withstand forces of more
than 1 metric ton (1,000 kg or 2,204 LBS)
• Is to be inspected and cleaned according to Care and maintenance,
(p. 29)
• Is unsafe to wear loose

SIZING AND ADJUSTMENT

The harness is designed to be worn:
• As high on the chest as possible, but in all cases, should rest above
your lowest ribs by at least 5 cm (2 inches).
This ensures your ribs can most effectively protect your internal
organs against external pressures. Since your harness is built into
your PFD, appropriately fitting your PFD will also ensure the harness
is worn properly. Simply follow the instructions in Putting it on
(donning), (p. 12) to ensure proper PFD fit. If the PFD (and
therefore its harness) does not fit properly, do not use.
