⚠️ Warning - Fall Distance: Adding this 45 cm extension increases the total fall distance of the fall arrest system. Before use, recalculate the required clearance distance (stopping distance + device deployment + user height + safety factor) to ensure sufficient working height is available. Consult 3M DBI-SALA technical documentation and applicable standards (CSA Z259.1 or ANSI Z359).

This extension is designed to complement compatible DBI-SALA safety harnesses. It does not replace an anchor point and must always be used as part of a complete fall arrest system compliant with applicable standards. Always consult 3M technical documentation before integrating this accessory into an existing protection system.
