This notice must be translated (eventually), by the retailer, into the language of the country of use.
For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.
BERNER cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use this equipment
beyond its capabilities!
USE AND PRECAUTIONS:
A signalling jacket harness is a personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one person at a time). The jacket
can be clearly seen by day and by night in headlamps and outside in all weathers (this garment does not contain any substance known to cause allergies to
susceptible people). The harness should first be adjusted to the size of the operator. The straps should be adjusted once and for all so that the sub-pelvic strap is
in position and the back plate is properly positioned between the shoulder blades. A harness should be adjusted as close as possible to the body, without excess,
so as to leave the operator freedom of movement. Observe the following steps:
Before use for the first time the user should carry out a comfort and adjustability test, in a safe place, to ensure that the harness is the correct size and has been
adjusted correctly. On a harness the attachment points marked A can accept a fall arrest system, attachment points marked A/2 can be connected together to
be connected to a fall arrest system. In general, it is recommended to use the back attachment point whenever possible because this is the best configuration
for the human body to absorb forces.
Attachment points that are not marked either A or A/2 must not be used for connecting a fall prevention device.
The ventral attachment point, as well as the attachment points located at the side of the belt are for work positioning only. During use make sure to check all
fastenings and adjustment elements regularly. A harness should be connected to a fall arrest system by EN362 connectors.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
The harness anchorage point should be situated above the user and must comply with EN 795 (minimum strength: R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN -
EN795:1996). Make sure that the work is done in such a way as to limit the pendulum effect, as well as the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and
before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle obstructing the normal deployment of the fall arrest system (free space under the user's
feet). The air space under the user's feet should be a minimum of: refer to the fall arrest system manual.
Before and during use we advise you to make the necessary, arrangements for a safe rescue if the need should arise. Suspension trauma can effect people in
different ways so it is essential that any rescue should be carried out safely as a quickly as possible.
A harness is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning! Certain medical
conditions may affect user safety, if in doubt, consult your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (< -30°C or
> 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system during use, sharp
edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Check the condition of the harness before every use: visual inspection to check the condition of the straps (no signs of cuts, burns or abnormal shrinkage), the
seams (no visible damage), the metal parts (no deformation or rust) and that the connectors work properly (opening/locking). In the event of deformation or
doubt, the harness should not be reused. After a fall the product must not be reused and withdrawn from use (see section VERIFICATION PROCEDURE).
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the harness.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Webbing material: polyester and/or polyamide. Buckle material: heat treated steel, stainless steel and/or aluminium.

SUITABILITY FOR USE:

The harness must be used as part of a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted on the user
during the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361/EN358/EN813) is the only body-gripping device that may be used. It may be dangerous to
create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Read the recommendations on using each component
in the system before use.
PERFORMANCE
In accordance with the (EU) regulation 2016/425, particularly in terms of the ergonomics of harmlessness, comfort of ventilation and flexibility; and European
standards EN340 and EN471, particularly in terms of luminescence and reflectivity (Class 2.2).

VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:

The equipment has a service life of 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by BERNER), but this duration
may increase or decrease depending on how the harness is used and/or the results of annual checks.
The harness must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after a fall and at least every year by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, to
guarantee its state and thus the safety of the end-user. The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and
date of next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.
SERVICING AND STORAGE: (Comply strictly with these instructions)
Wash by hand (maximum 10 cycles); do not machine wash, washing temperature 30°C maximum.
No chlorination permitted. Do not iron. Steam treatment is expressly prohibited. Do not dry clean, do not use spot removing solvents. Do not dry in a spin
drier, leave to dry in the open air away from any heat source. Do not pre-soak. Do not use high alkalinity detergents, based on solvents, or micro emulsion,
or bleaching agent. Hang it up in a well-ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for
components that have become damp during use. The metal parts should be wiped with a cloth impregnated with paraffin oil.
During transport, keep the jacket harness in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface. The jacket harness should be stored in its packaging in a warm,
dry, ventilated place, protected from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
