(Red band appears), the product can not be used anymore. It's essential to send it back to a service center for checking. If in doubt,
always remove the product for it to undergo either: - a review /- destruction. In the case of doubt or if the device was used to stop a fall,
it must be immediately withdrawn from use and returned to the manufacturer or any competent person appointed by them. The shelf
life is not a substitute for periodic verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product.

No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer nor without using
their procedures. Repairs may only be executed by the manufacturer or a person authorized by the manufacturer strictly following the
instructions for repair. Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual. Do not use this equipment beyond its
limits. Inspect thoroughly before each use. To ensure its working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product must be
checked systematically: ▪1 / visually inspect the following points: State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage
at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing. / Condition of seams and fasteners: no visible damage . / Condition of the metal parts:
no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation. /General condition: look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and
other climatic conditions / Correct operation and locking of connectors . / Specific conditions such as humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt,
paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc..., can significantly reduce the operation of the fall arrest device. ▪2 / in the
following cases: Before and during use / if in doubt / In the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect operation.
/ If it has been subjected to stress during a previous fall. / At least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization,
mandated by them.
PERIODIC REVIEW of PPE: An examination must be performed at least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent
organization, mandated by them. This very important check is related to the maintenance and efficacy of the PPE and hence the user's
safety. A written document authorising reuse should be obtained during this audit in order to reuse the PPE. This document will clarify
that the user's safety is linked to maintaining the efficiency and resistance of the equipment. Replace the PPE if necessary.

3.1 Storage/Cleaning instructions
▪ During transport and storage: - keep the product in its packaging /-keep the product away from any sharp, abrasive, objects etc... /
Keep the product away from sunlight, heat, flames, hot metal, oil, petroleum products, harsh chemicals, acids, dyes, solvents, sharp
edges and structures of small diameter. These items can affect the performance of the fall arrest device. Store the equipment dry and
clean in its original packing, away from light, cold, heat and humidity and at ambient temperature. SERVICING AND STORAGE: Clean
with soap and water, wipe with a cloth and hang in a ventilated area to dry naturally away from any direct fire or source of heat, even
for items that got wet during use. Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, solvents, gasoline or colouring, these substances can affect the
performance of product. ▪ The metal parts are wiped with a cloth soaked in vaseline oil. Bleach and detergents are strictly prohibited.
Clean the strap with a soft detergent only. Storage after cleaning, away from light in a dry and ventilated place.
ANSI Z359.11-2014 – ANNEX A:
ANSI/ASSE Z359 REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF FULL BODY HARNESSES
1. It is essential that the users of this type of equipment receive proper training and instruction, including detailed procedures for the safe use of
such equipment in their work application. ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program,
establishes guidelines and requirements for an employer's managed fall protection program, including policies, duties and training; fall protection
procedures; eliminating and controlling fall hazards; rescue procedures; incident investigations; and evaluating program effectiveness.
2. Correct fit of a Full Body Harness is essential to proper performance. Users must be trained to select the size and maintain the fit of their Full
Body Harness.
3. Users must follow manufacturer's instructions for proper fit and sizing, paying particular attention to ensure that buckles are connected and
aligned correctly, leg straps and shoulder straps are kept snug at all times, chest straps are located in the middle chest area and leg straps are
positioned and snug to avoid contact with the genitalia should a fall occur.
4. Full Body Harnesses which meet ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 are intended to be used with other components of a Personal Fall Arrest system that limit
maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN) or less.
5. Suspension intolerance, also called suspension trauma or orthostatic intolerance, is a serious condition that can be controlled with good harness
design, prompt rescue and post fall suspension relief devices. A conscious user may deploy a suspension relief device allowing the user to remove
tension from around the legs, freeing blood flow, which can delay the onset of suspension intolerance. An attachment element extender is not
intended to be attached directly to an anchorage or anchorage connector for fall arrest. An energy absorber must be used to limit maximum arrest
forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN). The length of the attachment element extender may affect free fall distances and free fall clearance calculations.
6. Full Body Harness (FBH) Stretch, the amount the FBH component of a personal fall arrest system will stretch and deform during a fall, can
contribute to the overall elongation of the system in stopping a fall. It is important to include the increase in fall distance created by FBH Stretch,
as well as the FBH connector length, the settling of the user's body in the FBH and all other contributing factors when calculating total clearance
required for a particular fall arrest system.
7. When not in use, unused lanyard legs that are still attached to a Full Body Harness D-ring should not be attached to a work positioning element
or any other structural element on the Full Body Harness unless deemed acceptable by the competent person and manufacturer of the lanyard.
This is especially important when using some types of "Y" style lanyards, as some load may be transmitted to the user through the unused lanyard
leg if it is not able to release from the harness. The lanyard parking attachment is generally located in the sternal area to help reduce tripping and
entanglement hazards.
