This product must only be used by competent and responsible
persons, or those placed under the direct and visual control of a
competent and responsible person.
Gaining an adequate apprenticeship in appropriate techniques and
methods of protection is your own responsibility.
You personally assume all risks and responsibilities for all

are not able, or not in a position to assume this responsibility or
to take this risk, do not use this equipment.
Inspection, points to verify
Before and after each use, your harness. Check the webbing
at the attachment points, the adjustment buckles and the safety
PETZL
stitching.
Look for cuts in the webbing, wear and damage due to use, to
heat, and to contact with chemical products, etc. Be particularly
careful to check for cut threads.
ISO 9001
Check that all metal parts are free of any cracks, deformation,
Copyright Petzl
corrosion, etc. Check that all buckles are functioning properly.
During each use
It is important to regularly inspect the condition of the product
(adjustment...). Check its connections with the other equipment in
the system and make sure that the various pieces of equipment in
the system are correctly positioned with respect to each other.
Consult the details of the inspection procedure to be carried out
for each item of PPE on the Web at www.petzl.com/ppe or on the
PETZL PPE CD-ROM.
Contact PETZL if there is any doubt about the condition of this
product.
Retire the equipment if it shows any sign of reduced strength or
impaired function.
How to use this equipment
Diagram 1. How to put the harness on
a. Spread the shoulder straps apart, grasp the harness by the belt
and slip both feet through the leg loops. Adjust the belt by pulling
on the belt straps. Stow the ends of the webbing straps tidily
using the sliders.
b. Adjust the leg loops.
c. Position the shoulder straps. Lock the maillon rapide.
d. Adjust the shoulder straps.
Note: the user should move around in the harness and hang in
suspension with his gear to verify that the equipment fits properly
and provides adequate comfort for the expected utilization.
Diagram 2. Fall arrest attachment
Clearance: distance to fall
The clearance below the user must be sufficient to prevent the
user from striking any obstacle in case of a fall.
Diagram 3. Attachments for positioning only
Lateral work positioning from the belt (there must be a supporting
surface for the feet). These side rings must only be used for
attachment to a work positioning system (maximum height of fall:
0.5 m) and never for attachment to a fall arrest system.
Diagram 4. Rappel and positioning attachments
These rings must only be used for attachment to a work
positioning system (maximum height of fall: 0.5 m) and never for
attachment to a fall arrest system.
Compatibility
Check the compatibility of the harness with the other elements
of the fall arrest or work positioning systems (energy absorber,
lanyard, connector).
The anchor point for the system must preferably be sited above
the position of the user. It must fulfill the requirements of the
standard EN 795.
Attachment points / connectors
WARNING, the attachment points of your harness can act as a
lever on the gate of a connector.
When a sudden tension comes onto the rope and/or an external
pressure on the locking system, and the connector is poorly
positioned, the locking sleeve can break and the gate can open
itself.
To reduce this risk, check that your connectors are properly
positioned each time the system is loaded (lanyard, descender,
etc.).
Also make sure your connectors are compatible with the
attachment points (shape, size, etc.).
Remember: For your safety, always get into the habit of always
doubling-up your systems, especially carabiners. Set up a second
system as a back up for your work positioning system.
Additional information required by NFPA 1983
This product must not be exposed to temperatures below -40° C
or above +80° C. Exposure of the harness to direct flame or
temperatures beyond these limits could cause the harness to fail.
Take care to protect the harness from such exposure during use,
transport, storage, etc.
Read this notice carefully and keep it in a permanent record
for reference after it is removed from the harness. Any user of
the harness should be provided with a copy of this notice for
reference before and after each use.
General information
Lifetime
The potential lifetime of Petzl products is as follows: up to
10 years from the date of manufacture for plastic and textile
products, indefinite for metallic products.
The actual lifetime of a product ends when it meets one of
the retirement criteria listed below (see "When to retire your
equipment"), or when in its system use it is judged obsolete.
The actual lifetime is influenced by a variety of factors such as:
the intensity, frequency, and environment of use, the competence
of the user, how well the product is stored and maintained, etc.
ATTENTION, in extreme cases, the lifetime of the product can be
reduced to one single use through exposure to for example any
of the following: chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges,
major fall or load, etc.
Inspect equipment periodically for damage and/or
deterioration.
In addition to the inspection before and during use, a periodic
in-depth inspection must be carried out by a competent inspector
at least once every 12 months. This inspection must be performed
at least once every 12 months. The frequency of the in-depth
inspection must be governed by the type and the intensity of use.
To keep better track of your equipment, it is preferable to assign
each piece of equipment to a unique user so that he will know
its history. The results of inspections should be documented in
an «inspection record». This document must allow recording
of the following details: type of equipment, model, name and
contact information of the manufacturer or distributor, means of
identification (serial or individual number), year of manufacture,
date of purchase, date of first use, name of user, all other
pertinent information for example maintenance and frequency
of use, the history of periodic inspections (date / comments
and noted problems / name and signature of the competent
person who performed the inspection / anticipated date of next
inspection). See example of detailed inspection record and other
informational tools available at www.petzl.com/ppe
When to retire your equipment
Immediately retire any equipment if:
- it fails to pass inspection (inspection before and during use and
the periodic in-depth inspection),
- it has been subjected to a major fall or load,
- you do not know its full usage history,
- it is at least 10 years old and made of plastics or textiles,
- you have any doubt as to its integrity.
Destroy retired equipment to prevent further use.
Product obsolescence
There are many reasons why a product may be judged obsolete
and thus retired before the end of its actual lifetime. Examples
include: changes in applicable standards, regulations, or
legislation; development of new techniques, incompatibility with
other equipment, etc.
Modifications, repairs
Any modification, addition to, or repair of the equipment other
than that authorized by Petzl is prohibited: due to the risk of
reducing the effectiveness of the equipment.
Precautions
It is up to the user to foresee situations requiring rescue in case
of difficulties encountered while using this product.
Guarantee
This product is guaranteed for 3 years against any faults in
materials or manufacture. Exclusions from the guarantee:
normal wear and tear, oxidation, modifications or alterations,
incorrect storage, poor maintenance, damage due to accidents, to
negligence, or to improper or incorrect usage.
PETZL is not responsible for the consequences, direct, indirect or
accidental, or any other type of damage befalling or resulting from
the use of its products.
