information, contact a representative of a manufacturer in
your area or directly CRESTO GROUP AB at the address
specied in this manual. Prior to use (on a safe place prior
to ascent) inspect individual parts of the harness, their
intactness and proper function. It is necessary to regularly
inspect the closing and adjustment features also during
use. However, bear in mind that you have to pay attention
to eventual damage of textile materials by use. It is also
necessary to have a rescue plan that takes into account all
emergencies at work. Any interventions into construction
or repairs by a customer are prohibited. In case of rescue
works request information and training from your employer

using the rescue harness within the temperature range
from -20°C to +60°C. A to be rescued person should be
suspended in a harness only for an inevitable period of time
to avoid trauma from suspension (picture 6.1a). A rescue
worker should ensure that a person to be rescued is not
endangered by shift of straps on a rescue loop/harness or
avoid unexpected contact with connecting features such
as spring hooks that could hit the head of a person to be
rescued for example during an unintended incident such
as a short fall. Be cautious and consider also the danger
caused by an electrical device (picture 6.1d) and moving
parts of the machines. It is always necessary to verify
needed free space under a user in such a way that a crash
to earth or another obstacle is not possible in the case of a
fall. Eventual pendular movement needs also to be taken
