SAFETY REGULATIONS
There is a risk to life if these safety instruc-
tions are not observed!
• The personal protective equipment (PPE) may
no longer be used even in the case of very mi-
nor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious personal pro-
tective equipment or safety devices must be
immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an ex-
pert and/or a workshop authorised in writing
by BORNACK. This must be documented in
the test card.
• Independent modifications or repairs are not
allowed.
• The full body harness is part of the personal
fall prevention equipment and should be as-
signed to a specific person.
• The personal protective equipment may only
be used by qualified staff that are familiar
with the material. They must be proficient in
handling the personal protective equipment
and must have been briefed about the possi-
ble risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), the users of fall protective
equipment (Category ) must attend a theo-
retical training course and a practical training
course. Make use of the training competence
of the BORNACK training centres: info@
bornack.de
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy.
• Health impairments (e.g. the use of medicines
or alcohol, heart of blood circulation prob-
lems) can jeopardise the safety of the user
when working at heights or depths.
• Protect personal protective equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
eects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils, etc.) and mechanical eects (e.g.
sharp edges).
• If a casualty hangs motionless in a full body
harness for a longer time, blood cannot flow
back from the legs and/or the flow may be in-
terrupted. This can lead to a suspension trau-
ma, a circulatory shock with serious to fatal
consequences.
• Before starting work, the responsible person
must draw up a plan of rescue measures that
defines how to rescue casualties quickly and
safely and ensures first aid measures. Persons
must be rescued within  to  minutes.
BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-made
rescue plans and includes these in the neces-
sary training courses. [email protected]
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Germany,
the DGUV Regulations  and  by the pro-
fessional associations) and the accident pre-
vention guidelines for the specific industry
(UVV) must be observed.
• Application temperature: - °C to + °C.
• Check compatibility with other parts of the
PPE.
• The full body harness must be set to the
wearer's body size (including clothing).
• Calculation of the possible fall path if all
necessary PPE components are used correctly:
(if necessary braking path HSG) + surplus lan-
yard (situation-dependent) + braking path
energy absorber (max. . m) + height of
D-ring (. m) + safety reserve . m.

EN
OTHER
.CLEANING
• Dry damp personal protective equipment in
the air, not on artificial heat sources. Dry met-
al components with cloths.
• Clean soiled textile components (e.g. arrester
harnesses and ropes) with lukewarm water
and a little detergent for delicates. Then rinse
carefully and allow to dry in the air. Other
cleaning agents are not allowed!
• If disinfection is necessary, please contact the
e-mail hotline:
[e-mail]
• If the personal protective equipment comes
into contact with salt-water, keep it wet until
it can be rinsed with plenty of distilled water.
• If necessary, use compressed air to blow on
the unit.
LIFE SPAN
The following recommendation applies for the
use of FS:
Maximum usage period after being used for
the first time:  years
In ideal storage conditions and annual inspec-
tions, the product may be stored for up to 
more years before it is used for the first time
without impacting on the stated maximum us-
age period. Every further year in storage reduc-
es the final maximum allowed usage period by
 year.
Metal parts are not subject to age-related life
span deadlines. The expert makes a decision
based on his technical expertise and the latest
version of the standard.
For reasons of safety, intensive use and/or ex-
treme application conditions such as sharp
edges, chemical influences, UV radiation etc.
will reduce the usage period. The company
owner needs to take this into account in the
workplace risk analysis.
The company owner must ensure compliance
with the maximum usage period by document-
ing first-time use in the test card.
The test card at the end of this User Manual
must be presented during the regular expert
inspections and be completed by an expert.
For more details, please visit www.bornack.de.
REPAIRS
• For reasons of liability, repairs may only be
carried out by the manufacturer.
• Only original spare parts from the manufac-
turer may be used.

 | 
OTHER
STORAGE
• Dry wet PPE before storage.
• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do not store PPE near radiators. Permanent
exposure to temperatures above + °C has a
negative impact on the strength of the textile
material and shortens the life span.
• Do not allow PPE to come into contact with
aggressive substances (e.g. oils, grease, acids,
chemicals etc.). Precision mechanics oils may
be applied to moving metallic parts during
mintennce. Always ensure that textile PPE
components do not come into contact with
the oil.
• Do not store personal protective equipment
close to aggressive substances (see above)
because even the vapours of aggressive sub-
stances can have a negative effect on the
strength of the PPE.
• Protected storage in the device case or device
bag.
TRANSPORT
• Protected transport in the device case or
device bag.
