WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
A. FULL BODY HARNESS: Clean full body harness with water and
a mild soap solution. Do not use bleach or bleach solutions.
Wipe off hardware with a clean, dry cloth, and hang to air
dry. Do not force dry with heat. An excessive buildup of dirt,
paint, etc. may prevent the full body harness from working
properly, and in severe cases degrade the webbing to a point
where it weakens and should be removed from service. More
information on cleaning is available from DBI-SALA. If you
have questions concerning the condition of your harness, or
have any doubt about putting it into service contact DBI-SALA.
B. FIRE RESISTANT PADDING:
• Remove pads from harness for laundering. Place the
harness in the supplied laundry bag. The bag is designed
to prevent entanglement of harness and to protect the
washing machine from damage. Use of the laundry bag to
wash the pads is optional.
• Launder fl ame resistant pads separately from harness
or other non-fl ame resistant garments. Lint from other
garments may affect fl ame resistance.
• Use a bleach-free detergent when washing both the harness
and the pads. Do not use soap; soap may leave a residue
which could affect fl ame resistance.
• Do not use chlorine bleach. Bleach may weaken fabric and
reduce product life.
• Oily or greasy stains may be pre-treated and washed in hot
water 140°F max (60°C max).
• Use delicate, permanent press, or cotton sturdy wash cycle
with cold or warm water. Hot water can be used on heavily
soiled items as long as it does not exceed 140°F (60°C).
Use extra rinse cycle to be sure all residual wash chemicals
are removed.
• Air dry or tumble dry using permanent press cycle and low
heat. Drying temp should not exceed 200°F (93°C). These
fabrics dry quickly, for lowest shrinkage, do not over dry.
6.2
Additional maintenance and servicing procedures must be
completed by a factory authorized service center. Authorization
must be in writing. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
6.3
Store full body harnesses in a cool, dry, clean environment out
of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist.
Thoroughly inspect the full body harness after extended storage.
