no more than 250 lbs. for Adults/ Boys & Girls, and no more than 100 lbs. for Children’s
harness.
FREQUENCY: Before each use, inspect the Drop Support harness according to the following
steps. The harness must be inspected by a person, other than the user, at least annually who has
read these instructions and follows the inspection steps below.
IMPORTANT: Extreme use (such as many near falls or falls) may require increasing the
frequency of inspections.
1. Inspect harness hardware (buckles, support handle, frontal loop guides); Do not use if
any of these items are damaged, broken, distorted, or have sharp edges, cracks, or worn
parts. Ensure buckles work smoothly. Inspect the side release buckles and ensure that
the release tabs work freely and that a click is heard when the buckle engages.
2. Inspect webbing; material must not be used if it is frayed, cut, or has broken fibers.
Check for tears, abrasions, mold, burns, or discoloration. Inspect stitching. Check for
pulled or cut stitches. Broken stitches may be an indication that the harness has been
impact loaded and must be removed from use.
3. Inspect labels. All labels should be present and fully legible.
4. Inspect frontal loop guides for integrity and function.
If inspection reveals a defective condition, immediately stop using and replace harness.
PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the Drop Support harness is determined by use
conditions and maintenance. If the product passes the above inspection, it may remain in use.
