Read and understand all labels and instructions attached to and packed with your harness.
Straightening Your Harness:
Pick up your harness by the Dorsal D-ring and shake it to allow the straps to fall free of each other.
Disconnect the waist strap of the harness and then disconnect the leg strap buckles. Hold the harness with one shoulder strap
in each hand to check for twisted straps. Straighten any twisted straps so that they hang freely.
Harness Inspection:
Inspection should occur prior to each use by the user and at a minimum of once a year by a competent person. Carefully inspect
the harness for indications of wear, deterioration, or impact loading. The inspection should include, but not be limited to,
inspecting for:
•
webbing cuts, kinks, abrasions, burns, excessive swelling, excessive wear, discoloration, cracks, charring, broken fibers,
loose stitching, chemical or physical exposures and buckle holes in strap are not damaged
•
loose, bent or pulled rivets, bent grommets, and broken, cut or burned threads
•
tongue of buckle does not bind on buckle frame
•
nicks, cracks, distortion, excessive wear or corrosion of hardware (buckle, "D"-ring, etc.)
Note: Buckingham harnesses are equipped with an impact load indicator label that is designed to deploy upon arresting a fall.
An impact load will tear the thread exposing this label making the text visible. If you can see the text, the harness has been
impact loaded. If any evidence of wear, deterioration, or impact loading as outlined is observed, immediately cease use, destroy
the product, and replace it with new equipment.
