ON! Falls can result in dynamic loads that exceed
these acceptable values (this requires additional pro-
tection of the parts carried on them against falling
down or protection of the endangered zones under
the work site).
Lanyard Storage - optional accessories (Fig. 17):
For storing the carabiner snap hooks of a connec-
ting piece while this is not in use, tears in case of strain due to falling.
4. How to put on the harness correctly:
Granit Light:
� Step into the leg straps with both legs
� Put on the shoulder straps and the connector
strap (above the front D-ring) and close it with the
Fastex buckle
� Adjust leg loops, chest straps, and shoulder
straps (there should be sufficient space to push your
hand between the harness and your body)
Granit Pro:
Put the strap on like a jacket
�
� Close sub-pelvic belt, leg straps, and connector
strap (below the front D-ring) -
CAUTION: please ensure that the Cobra buckles are
properly locked
� Adjust sub-pelvic strap, leg straps, and shoulder
straps (there should be sufficient space to place
your hand between the harness and your body)
Fasten D-rings (marked "A") in the front at sternum
height and in the back between the shoulder blades
and D-rings in the front center or side symmetrically
on the sub-pelvic strap
� Adjust the groin strap according to the working
conditions by adjusting the straps (2 x front, 1 x rear
on the sub-pelvic strap)
5. How to select an anchor point:
According to EN 795, the anchor point (anchor de-
vice) for personal protective equipment against falls
from a height must be able to withstand a force of
12 kN and meet the requirements specified in the
user's guide of the fall protection system used. The

anchor point should always be located above the
user.
The connection between the harness and anchor
point must be suitable for the standard covering the
respective type of use and must have been certified
to it.
� Fall arrest system (e.g., energy absorber to
EN 355, guided type fall arresters to EN 353-
1/2, retractable type fall arresters to EN 360)
� Restraint system (e.g., lanyards to EN 354 or
EN 358)
� Work positioning system (e.g., lanyards to
EN 354 or EN 358)
� Rope access system (e.g., rope adjustment
device to EN 12841, rope to EN 1891)
It is crucial to safety to select the position of the
anchor point and the way how the work is done
such that the free fall and the height of a fall are
restricted to a minimum. It is crucial to safety to
ensure prior to any work assignment that there is
enough free space at the work site under the user
(prevention of an impact on the ground or on an
obstacle).
Only a fall arrest harness may be used as the
body holding device in a fall arrest system.
Lanyards must not be placed across sharp edges!
Pendulum motions during falls must be avoided
by selecting a suitable anchor point.
