Remove the full body harness
from the packaging, hold it at the
shoulder straps so that the
harness is completely
spread out.
Open the leg straps and put on
the full body harness by placing
the shoulder straps over the
shoulders as shown.
Fix the full body harness by
closing first the front chest
buckle (if available for the
respective model).
Then close the leg straps. And finally the waist belt. If your model is equipped with a

sure that the snap safety catch
has been closed according to
the instructions!
How to put on the full body harness
Prior to each use, a visual inspection of the full body harness must be carried out in order to ensure its
impeccable condition. Particular attention should be made regarding the following: cuts, wear, damage due to
heat, chemicals and similar, undamaged seams and fittings (no corrosion, no mechanical deformation or cuts as
well as inspection regarding impeccable function). Check the impeccable function of karabiners EN 362 which
are included in the scope of supply of the full body harness, i.e. snap safety catch closes without problem and
clicks in completely, the locking screw element can be operated smoothly and correctly, self-locking twist
fasteners and Trilock fasteners latch in completely as envisaged and lock impeccably.
All fasteners are free from any contamination which might impair their function.
Damaged full body harnesses must not be used, also not when there are doubts regarding their safe condition ➜
pass on to a competent person or to the manufacturer for inspection (address see page 1 of these instructions
for use)! Only use original parts made by Preising!
A full body harness which has been used for an arrest fall, must be immediately put out of service and sent to
the manufacturer for inspection (address see page 1 of these instructions for use)!
Your full body harness is supplied with the following documentation:
1. Identity card indicating manufacturer, serial number, model, date of being put into service (to be filled in by the
user). The identity card is part of these instructions for use.
2. These instructions for use.
This document must be stored
carefully and must always be on
hand. Any alternative solutions
organized by the respective
entrepreneur/operator are the
operator’s/entrepreneur’s
responsibility.

• The instructions for use for all personal protective equipment used in combination with the full body
harness must be absolutely observed.
• Prior to the use of the complete personal protective equipment, the user must find out about possible
risks which may occur at the place of use and then use the personal protective equipment in accordan-
ce with the requirements. Also, a rescue concept should be available for the concrete application case.
Storage: Preferably in dry, well-ventilated rooms; keep away from sources of heat!
Transport: A suitable container protecting the personal protective equipment from contamination and damage
during transport, should be used, e.g. equipment bag No. 5099L4, rucksack No. 5099S4.

out regarding impeccable condition. Particular attention should be made regarding the following: cuts, wear,
damage due to heat, chemicals and similar, undamaged seams and fittings (no corrosion, no mechanical
deformation or cuts as well as inspection regarding impeccable function). Check the impeccable function of
connectors (karabiners) as per EN 362 which are included in the scope of supply of the full body harness, i.e.
snap safety catch closes without problem and clicks in completely, the locking screw element can be operated
smoothly and correctly, self-locking twist fasteners and Trilock fasteners latch in completely as envisaged and
lock impeccably. The marking must be readable.

in accordance with the regulations – is not permissible, because the aging which has taken place cannot
be seen or felt.
When used in combination with lanyards EN 354 attention must be paid to the total length. The total
length, i.e. extension of the full body harness and the lanyard EN 354 including energy absorber EN 355
