Installation and Use
All PFAS equipment must be selected and deemed compatible with FR Kevlar Harness by a Competent
Person. ALWAYS follow all instructions of all equipment used in combination with FR Kevlar Harness.
NEVER attach connector to any place on harness other than D-ring. Connector gate must be self-closing
and self-locking, and must withstand minimum load of 3,600 lbs. Any excess strap webbing MUST be
stored in harness Webbing Keepers.
To connect Pass-Through Buckle, angle male buckle so it is positioned to
pass up and through female buckle. Fully insert male buckle so that it lies
flat on top of female buckle.
To adjust dorsal D-ring, slide placard up or down webbing. Dorsal D-ring must rest between the
middle of the shoulder blades.
To connect Tongue Buckle, pull webbing strap through framed tongue component,
and insert framed tongue through grommet to secure.
Roller and Friction Adjustments allow the user to make adjustments to FR Kevlar Harness
straps. Feed webbing through buckle, and slide the buckle down on the strap to tighten, or slide
the buckle up on the strap to loosen.
Dorsal D-ring, chest strap, shoulder straps, and leg straps
MUST be fitted for each individual user.
1. Hold at dorsal D-ring, and
fully inspect harness according
to specifications of this instruction
manual. Ensure all straps are not
twisted and all buckles are
unfastened.
2. Place harness shoulder straps
over shoulders. Ensure dorsal
D-ring faces out, and is adjusted
to rest between the middle of
the shoulder blades.
3. Connect leg straps around thighs.
Ensure there is no twisting of
webbing. Leg straps should never
dangle or hang loose.
4. Adjust chest strap height to
lower chest level, approximately
6” from top of shoulders. Connect
chest strap. Ensure there is no
twisting of webbing.
5. Adjust chest, leg, and
shoulder straps so they fit
snugly, but still allow for a
full range of movement.
Some steps of adorning a harness may require assistance from another person. Upon completely
adorning a harness, Guardian Fall Protection recommends that another person, with knowledge of the
safe and correct use of the harness, inspect to ensure the harness is being worn correctly.
Any twisting of webbing, or
straps that are fitted too loose
or too tight, can significantly
increase the risk of serious
injury or death in the
event of a fall.
