Section 9: Maintenance and Storage
The service life of your FallTech Full Body Harness will depend on two
factors: The environmental conditions of your working environment
along with proper care (specifically, maintenance and storage).
Keeping the FBH clean and free of contaminants will greatly increase
the service life and will ensure that the FBH will be in proper working
order in the event that you need it to arrest a fall. The following steps
should be taken periodically:
1. Use a mild solution of soap and water to clean the webbing and
all hardware. A damp rag can be used to scrub and stubborn
stains or surface build-up of contaminating substances. Do no
use any solvents or petroleum products to clean this FBH.
2. Use a damp rag and a mild soap and water solution to clean the
hardware on this FBH (D-rings, buckles, adjusters, etc.). Wipe
the hardware dry with a clean soft cloth.
3. After cleaning, hang the harness up and allow it to air dry. Do
not use heat to force dry a FBH.
4. The FBH should be stored hanging up in a clean, dry location
free from harsh chemical vapors and out of direct sunlight.
5. Do not attempt to repair or modify this FBH or any of its
components. Such attempts will void the warranty and may
result in serious injury or death.
Note: Harsh environments, prolonged use and other extreme working
conditions may reduce the serviceable life of this FBH, and may require
greater inspection frequency. While there are no OSHA or ANSI
mandates with respect to product lifespan, FallTech recommends
replacing a Full Body Harness every five years, or whenever it fails to
pass the inspection as outlined in Section 8 of this manual.
If your FBH is in need of repair or you are concerned about its
condition, return it to the place of purchase to arrange an inspection
and/or repair through an authorized service center. For further details,
contact FallTech.
