INFORMATION BEFORE USE
Always check every time before
using!
• If during the inspection even the slightest of
faults is detected, this protection equipment
may not be used! Faulty protection equipment
components may only be tested and repaired
in a workshop authorised by the company
BORNACK.
The compatibility and use of the ventral
attachment D-ring must be checked against the
user manual for the arrester device on a fixed
guide that is to be used. For more information,
please see page .
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check that the equipment is undamaged and
complete:
• Are all seams complete and undamaged?
• Can you see or feel any damage in the textile
components?
• Are there any signs of damage to the fittings,
D-rings, buckles, karabiners? Are they bent?
• Is the product identification legible?
• Was the last expert inspection less than
year ago?
FUNCTION TEST
• Do the fasteners run smoothly?
• Is the karabiner fastener and its lock functional?
|
PREPARATION
Put on V-PROTECT.
Observe the user manual V-PROTECT.
A Lift the arrester harness on the rear arresting
D-ring. All harness fasteners need to be open.
Harness must hang freely and may not be
twisted.
B Put on the arrester harness like a jacket:
Arms through the shoulder harness. Close
the chest harness.
CAUTION:
If the front arresting loops are used, both loops
must be placed jointly on the karabiner in
compliance with EN .
C Close the abdominal belt.
Please observe the instructions about closing
the abdominal belt depending on belt variant
on page /.
D . Adjust the shoulder harnesses.
Adjust the harness to the body so that the
seat harness is positioned below your bottom.

CLIMBING WITH VERTICAL FALL-ARREST
EQUIPMENT
Application with sliding arrester devices on a
fixed guide (EN 353-1)
The two combined front arresting loops must be
used as the primary attachment type for
sliding arrester devices in compliance with EN .
If other vertical fall-arrest runners than the
RS-S or RS-H that have been approved by
BORNACK are used, the user must carry out a
risk assessment / compatibility check for the use
of the ventral attachment D-ring (tested in
compliance with EN section . and section .)
Use with sliding arrester devices on mobile
guide (EN 353-2)
Sliding arrester devices on mobile guides must
be attached on the two combined front arresting
loops or the reararresting D-ring.
When instructing users, special attention
should be drawn to the potentially fatal risks of
foreseeable wrong operation (e.g. sliding down
ladders by manipulating the sliding arrester
device including the fixed guide „ladder
surfing“/ negligent adornment of the harness).
Special oicial, local and statutory information
and any instructions issued by the accident
insurance institutions should also be observed.
The ventral attachment D-ring may not be used
with rescue or rescue lifting equipment in

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There is a risk to life if these safety instructions
are not observed!
• The personal protection equipment may no
longer be used even in the case of very minor
faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious personal
protection equipment or safety devices must
be immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an
expert or a workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK. This must be documented in the
test card.
• The rope protection (arrester harness) is part
of the personal protection equipment to
prevent falling and should be assigned to a
specific person.
• The personal protection equipment may only
be used by qualified staff that are familiar
with the material. They must be proficient in
handling the personal protection equipment
and must have been briefed about the possible
risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), the users of fall protection
equipment (Category ) must attend a theoretical
training course and a practical training course.
Make use of the training competence of the
BORNACK training centres:
• Accessories from other manufacturers may
only be used if approved by BORNACK and
may not impair the function and safety of the
protection equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use the equipment if you are fully fit.
Health impairments can jeopardise the safety
of the user when working at heights or
depths.
• Protect personal protection equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
eects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils) and mechanical eects (e.g. sharp
edges).
• 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. Casualties
must be rescued within to minutes.
• BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-made
rescue plans in specific training courses:
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Germany
the guidelines issued by the professional
associations BGR and BGR ) and the
accident prevention guidelines for the specific
industry (UVV) must be observed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
.LIFE SPAN
Recommendations for the use of personal
protection equipment in industrial environments:
Maximum storage period before using for the
first time
Harnesses: up to years
(In optimum storage conditions e.g. protected
from light, dry, normal climate)
Maximum usage period after being used for the
first time
Harnesses: up to years
Regular or intensive use and/or in extreme
conditions, e.g. sharp edges and chemical
influences, will reduce the usage period. The
company owner must ensure and take this into
account in the risk analysis of the workplace.
The company owner must ensure compliance
with the maximum usage period by documenting
first-time use in the test card or the rope log.
For more information, please see the
BORNACK
brochure „Life-span of textile personal protection
equipment components“ at
www.bornack.de.
REPAIRS
Only the manufacturer may carry out repairs.
STORAGE
Dry damp personal protection equipment before
storing.
Store away from light in a dry place.
Do not store personal protection equipment
close to radiators.
Permanent temperatures of over + °C have a
negative impact on the strength of the textile
material and will reduce the life-span.
Do not allow personal protection equipment to
come into contact with aggressive substances
(e.g. oils, grease, acids, chemicals).
Store the personal protection equipment in the
device case or strap bag.
TRANSPORT
Transport the personal protection equipment
protected in a device case or strap bag.

GENERAL INFORMATION
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
The following is attached to the product:
USEFUL LOAD
The maximum number of users is person.
The arrester harnesses of the STRIPE COMFORT
series were tested and certified for application
cases in which the energy-absorbing connecting
equipment (e.g. in compliance with EN and
EN ) directs a maximum impact force of kN
into the arresting D-rings and arresting loops.
If users weigh more than the standard defined
kg, the physiological suitability must be
explicitly verified. Connecting equipment suitable
for the weight of the user must be used that,
despite the weight of the user, does not exceed
an impact force of kN.
If this is guaranteed and the securing chain is
not overloaded, the STRIPE harness may be
used by users weighing over kg.
