and adjust it.
 Close the thigh harness belts and
adjust them
 Connect the working line to atta-
ching element whether directly
or to a central point linked to the

and attach the second extremity
on the other 'D' ring.
 Before climbing, test the work

be used with structures of small
diameters and with sharp edges.)
 Adjust the lanyard so as to work
comfortably with both hands free.
 In the work position, the adjust-
ment of the positioning lanyard
must not allow a free fall of a
distance greater than 0.5m.
 Make sure the work positioning
lanyard is always taut.
 A belt equipped with a support
pad must be used when the work
position must be maintained for
a long time.
 During use check the adjust-
ment and/or attachment parts
regularly.
VERIFICATION
Before using for the first time, the user
should test the suspension function in
a safe place to ensure that the thigh
harness is the correct size, is correctly
adjusted and provides an acceptable
degree of comfort for the use envi-
saged.
Before each use, a thorough visual
inspection should be made in order
to verify the PPE's integrity, as well as
the integrity of any other equipment
that may be used with it (connector,
lanyard...). The necessary precautions
must be taken for making a rescue in
complete safety. In case of a problem
with the product, contact the manu-
facturer or his representative. If you
have doubts about the safety of the
product or if the product has been
used to stop a fall, it is essential for
your safety that the PPE be withdrawn
from use and returned to the manu-
facturer or to a qualified repair centre
for verification or destruction. Never
try to modify or repair a PPE yourself.
Only the manufacturer or the repair
centre is qualified to make repairs. Af-
ter inspection, the centre will provide
written authorization if the PPE may
be reused.
