SCHROTH has attempted to make this racing harness manual
extensive and comprehensive. We have created it to help the
reader understand racing harness installation, use and
maintenance, and how it relates to safety in motorsports.
Intensive research and experience in motorsports has led us to
prepare up-to-date instructions for optimized anchor point
locations and racing harness design features. The SCHROTH
development of new racing harness configurations should be
considered when defining anchorage locations. What was
considered acceptable in the early and mid-1990s has changed
and evolved as the result of currently available data. Therefore,
we ask the drivers, mechanics, teams and race car
manufacturers to

read and heed the information in this manual

carefully. Safe and effective HANS

use also depends on proper

restraint routing and anchor point locations.

“The sanctioning body regulating the motorsport series in which
you are participating may have additional information specific to
your chassis. All information in this document is based upon the
best knowledge as of March 2009.”

This harness belt, when properly installed and used according to

applicable instructions can minimise injury. The ability of any

restraint system to minimise or prevent injuries is directly related

to the type and severity of accident. No restraint system can

prevent injury or death in every accident.
Profi and Hybrid

racing harness belts are NOT designed to be

installed into street legal vehicles, and DO NOT meet federal and

state vehicle safety regulations. They are designed and tested to

be used exclusively in race cars and only in on-track events.
