Since every accident is different, always keep in mind that Profi asm
®
harness belts, just like other racing harnesses, cannot guarantee against
severe injuries, death and other risks during an accident. Head and
neck supports provide further reduction of head deceleration and neck
forces. 4-point harnesses with the asm
®
system may be used with a
HANS
®
device (see FIA HANS Guide Issue: 01.07.2007 under
Models SFI Spec. 16.1 or SFI Spec. 16.5/NASCAR approved racing
harnesses may vary from FIA homologated models. However, the
changes in brackets or adjusters and adjuster positions from the use of
approved racing harnesses, and the varying methods of installation and
operation that result, can easily be followed since each racing harness
component and its use is described in the appropriate sections of this
manual. [See, e.g. the “Brackets” section, explaining the correct
installation and operation also of SFI
Spec.
16.1 or
SFI Spec. 16.5/NASCAR approved racing harnesses.]

Models with SCHROTH
asm
®
Safety System
The asm
®
System
asm
®
is the acronym for anti-submarining [submarining = sliding
underneath the lap belt during a frontal impact]. This phenomenon is
likely to occur in a 4-point harness belt, and is significantly reduced by
the patented asm
®
safety system. Therefore, all SCHROTH racing
harnesses sold as 4-point harnesses and likely to be used as such, are
equipped with the asm
®
system. It consists of an energy converter
located in one shoulder belt. May be purchased as left and/or right
harnesses, depending upon which side of the lap belt you want to have
the buckle attached.
). The asm
®
system in SCHROTH racing harnesses should
never be used with other types of head and neck devices e.g. SFI 38.1
approved.
• Never wear a harness restraint without
asm
®
system as a 4-point
harness. Submarining may take place during an accident and
severe injuries or death may occur.
• The shoulder belts containing the
asm
®
safety system must be
installed symmetrically or the system may not function properly in
an accident and serious injuries or death may occur.
