These harnesses are mainly used for fall
arrest purposes, i.e., they support the entire
body of the wearer and, in the event of a
fall and after arresting a fall, hold him/her
in an upright position.

This harness belays its wearer at the work
site (work positioning) or prevents the wear-
er from reaching a location from where
he/she can fall down (restraint function).
A work positioning harness to EN 358 by
itself is not suitable for fall arrest purpos-
es! In order to provide protection against
falls from a height, it may be necessary

. USE OF GEAR LOOPS AND
TOOL BAG RINGS ONLY
ON BMOTION PRO
On TEUFELBERGER fall arrest harnesses,
there are gear loops and tool bag attach-
ments on the waist belts. They must not
be used to belay persons and have the
following max. load carrying capacity

Falls can result in dynamic loads that
exceed these acceptable values (this re-
quires additional protection of the parts
carried on them against falling down
or protection of the endangered zones
under the work site).
Gear Loops:
10 kg / 22 lbs max. / loop (static load)
Tool bag rings:
10 kg / 22 lbs max. / ring (static load)
(for attaching one tool bag to 2 rings
each)
. LANYARD PARKING LOOPS
This loops are used for storing your lan-
yard connectors, when not in use. If you
get hooked with them, the loops will tear
of and protect the user for arkward loads
in his body.
. FALL INDICATORS
The harness has a fall indicator next to the
dorsal and sternal fall arrest attachment ring.
If it is broken and shows the red warning
label, then immediatly remove the harness
from use.
Use
