A GENERAL
Please read these instructions thoroughly before using this product and follow all the information
contained within. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to a reduction in the protection
this product provides.
Please note: mountaineering and climbing are dangerous sports which may lead to unforeseable
risks. You are personally responsible for every action and decision you take. You should acquaint
yourself with the related risks before undertaking these activities. SALEWA recommends that you
seek proper training from professionals (such as mountain guides or climbing schools) before
any mountain-related activity. It is important to become familiar with rescue operations and how
they are carried out safely and correctly. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in case of
improper or wrong use. Make sure all the components in your protection equipment are certified.
This product is made in conformity with PPE regulation (EU) 2016/425.
You can view the EU Declaration of Conformity under www.salewa.com.
The product meets the third category for personal protective equipment (PSA).
B INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Only use the product for the purpose for which it was constructed and never burden it beyond
its limits.
: Danger to life
: Risk of injury
: Correct use
The correct use and possible misuses are illustrated in IMAGE B.
B1) shows the different types of harness. There are usually four types of harnesses which have
been conceived for diverse uses. Choose the type which best suits your practice: the full harness
(Type A for adults and B for children) ensures an upright position and avoids any slipping out
from the harness. They are used for children or when carrying a rucksack. A seat harness (type
C) allows optimal freedom of movement and is used for all types of mountaineering. A chest har-
ness (Type D) can only be used together with a seat harness (Type C). Failure to do so may lead to
bad injuries, since a chest harness in itself does not grant any protection from falls.
B2) shows how to use the buckles on the harness.
B3) shows how to fasten and adjust the harness. To guarantee comfort and safety, it is imperative
that you choose a harness in the correct size. The size chart will guide your choice, although you
should try the harness on and adjust it according to your size. You should be able to pass your
hand held flat between your thigh and the leg loop. Type B harnesses should only be used by
people weighing 40 kg or less and whose height is 1,30 mt maximum. Before using your harness,
hang in it from a safe place and make sure it sits well and is comfortable.
B4) shows how to tie in the safety rope to the harness.
B5) shows how to use additional parts with your harness.

D LIFESPAN
The lifespan of the product is dependent on a number of factors, such as the manner and
frequency of use, UV exposure, moisture, ice, affects of weather, storage conditions, and dirt
(sand, salt, etc.). Under extreme conditions the lifespan can be reduced to a single usage
or even less, if the equipment has suffered damage (for example during transport) before ever
being used. Please note: Products manufactured from synthetic fibres are subject to ageing
even when not used. This ageing depends mainly on environmental conditions as well as the
impact of UV light.

Never: Correct storage: up to 10 years since production
Once or twice a year: up to 7 years
Once a month: up to 5 years
More times a month: up to 3 years
