Suitability For Use; Verification Procedure - KRATOS SAFETY FA 10 202 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

As these attachment points are not marked A or A/2, they must not be connected to a fall arrest system.
For this type of use, the harness must also be connected to a fall arrest system via connectors (EN362).
4- Additional attachments:
Tool holder: to be used in conjunction with the
KRATOS SAFETY tool-holding lanyards to
catch a tool if it falls.
Max. load 5kg.
These points must not be used for connection of a fall arrest, work positioning, work restraint or rope access work system.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
The harness anchorage point should be situated above the user and must comply with EN 795:2012 (R>12kN); work positioning anchorage must be
situated at or above waist belt level and must comply with EN 795. Make sure that the work is done in such a way as to limit the pendulum effect, as
well as the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle obstructing the
normal deployment of the fall arrest system (free space under the user's feet). The clearance under the user's feet should be a minimum of: refer to the
fall arrest system manual.
Before and during use we advise you to make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue if the need should arise. Suspension trauma can effect people
in different ways so it is essential that any rescue should be carried out safely as a quickly as possible.
A harness is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning! Certain
medical conditions may affect user safety, if in doubt, consult your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (<
-30°C or > 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system
during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Check the condition of the harness before every use: visual inspection to check the condition of the straps (no signs of cuts, burns or abnormal shrinkage),
the seams (no visible damage), the metal parts (no deformation or rust) and that the connectors work properly. In the event of deformation or doubt
the harness should be withdrawn from service. After a fall the product must not be reused and withdrawn from use (see section VERIFICATION
PROCEDURE).
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the harness.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Strap material: polyester and/or polyamide. Buckle material: heat treated steel, stainless steel and/or aluminium.
Size range of the waist belt : S-L : Min : 66 cm – Max 137 cm / L-XXL : Min : 76 cm – Max 147 cm / S-XXL : Min : 71 cm – Max 142 cm.
Maximum rated load of the harness 140 kg as per EN361 and EN813, waist belt including equipment is approved for a weight up to 150 kg.

SUITABILITY FOR USE:

The harness must be used as part of a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted on the
user during the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (including EN361/EN358/EN813) is the only body-gripping device that may be used. It
may be dangerous to create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Read the recommendations
on using each component in the system before use.

VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:

The equipment has a service life of 10 years, but this duration may increase or decrease depending on how it is used and/or the results of annual checks.
The equipment should be inspected if there is any doubt, or following a fall, and at least annually, by the manufacturer or a competent person* and in
strict compliance with the manufacturer's periodic inspection procedures (and in particular the inspection guides ref. GI XX-XXXXXX-XX) to check
its strength and therefore the user's safety. The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and date of
next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.
*: refer to the definition of a competent person on our website under: Info/Technical Advice
SERVICING AND STORAGE: (Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the harness in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface. Clean it with water and soap, wipe it with a dry rag and hang it
up in a well-ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have
become damp during use. The metal parts should be wiped with a cloth impregnated with paraffin oil. Never use bleach or detergents. The harness should
be stored in its packaging in a warm, dry, ventilated place, protected from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
Gear loop: to be used for attaching connectors,
pulleys, etc. needed for work at height.
Max. cumulative load 5kg
8
Fall arrest lanyard connector loop: ONLY used
to attach the end of a lanyard that is not in use.
