CROSS-OVER STYLE HARNESS:

If your harness incorporates loops for a removable waist belt, the belt should be installed through the four

loops in the harness as shown in Figure 17. The hip pad, if used, is secured to the belt by passing the belt

through the hip pad loops. Don the cross-over style full body harness by following these steps (see Figures

17-19B):

NOTE: Cross-Over Style harnesses contain different harness buckle connections. See Figure 19A for the

style that applies to your harness.

Step 1. Locate back D-ring held in position by the D-ring pad; lift up harness and hold by this D-ring.

Ensure the straps are not twisted.

Step 2. Grasp shoulder straps between back and front D-ring and slip harness over your head from the

left side. Position shoulder straps on top of shoulder. Ensure straps are not tangled and hang

freely. The D-ring will be positioned on your back when worn properly.

Step 3. Grasp the buckle below the front D-ring and connect (Figure 19A). Ensure straps are not tangled

or crossed.

Step 4. Reach between legs and grasp blue leg strap on your left side. Bring strap up between legs and

connect to buckle. Connect right leg strap (Figure 19A).

Step 5. Adjust shoulder straps to a snug t (Figure 19B). Left and right sides of shoulder straps should

be adjusted to the same length and the front D-ring should be centered on your lower chest. The

back D-ring should be centered between your shoulder blades. Adjust leg straps to a snug t.

Adjust the waist belt (if present). Center retrieval D-rings (if present) on top of each shoulder.

3.4 USE OF FALL ARREST D-RING OR ATTACHMENT ELEMENT: For fall protection applications connect to

the D-ring or attachment element on your back, between your shoulder blades. Side

D-rings, if present, are

for positioning or restraint applications only. Shoulder retrieval D-rings are for rescue or retrieval applications

only. Front D-ring is for ladder climbing or positioning. D-rings on seat sling are for suspension or positioning

applications only.

3.5 MAKING CONNECTIONS: When using a hook to connect to an anchorage or when coupling components

of the system together, ensure roll-out cannot occur. Roll-out occurs when interference between the hook

and mating connector causes the hook gate to unintentionally open and release. Self-locking snap hooks

and carabiners should be used to reduce the possibility of roll-out. Do not use hooks or connectors that

will not completely close over the attachment object. See subsystem manufacturer’s instructions for more

information on making connections.

3.6 CONNECTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS: After tting the full body harness the user may then connect to

other system components. Follow the guidelines in section 3.4 on selecting the correct attachment element.
