Product Information

Full details

The Sparco Competition H-2 PD 6 Point Harness is designed for motorsport enthusiasts and professional drivers seeking enhanced safety and quick adjustability in competition settings. Its key benefit is providing a secure, easily adjustable restraint system that meets stringent FIA standards, especially when used with an FHR device. A potential caveat is its FIA 8853-2016 approval, which mandates its use exclusively with an FHR/HANS device for safety compliance. This harness integrates advanced webbing, lightweight adjusters, and a high-load buckle for reliability and user-friendliness.

FAQs

Is this harness suitable for street use?

No, the Sparco Competition H-2 PD 6 Point Harness is specifically designed and approved for motorsport competition use only. Its FIA 8853-2016 approval requires its use in conjunction with an FHR/HANS device.

What does 'FHR Specific Webbing' mean?

This means the webbing is designed to work optimally with Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) systems like HANS devices, ensuring proper load distribution and comfort when the FHR system is engaged.

Can I use this harness without an FHR device?

No, the FIA 8853-2016 approval for this harness is conditional on its use with an FHR / HANS device. Using it without one will not meet the safety standard.

How often should I inspect my harness?

It is recommended to inspect your harness before every use for any signs of wear, damage, or degradation. A thorough inspection should be performed regularly, and the harness replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations or immediately if any damage is found.

What are the benefits of the pull-down adjusters?

The re-profiled lightweight pull-down adjusters allow for quicker and easier tightening of the harness straps, which is particularly advantageous during multi-driver racing or rapid pit stops.

How do I clean the harness?

Clean the harness using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use harsh chemicals.

What is the lifespan of this harness?

While specific lifespans vary based on usage and care, racing harnesses typically have a recommended replacement interval (often 2-5 years from the date of manufacture or first use) due to material degradation from stress, UV exposure, and environmental factors. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Harness webbing feels stiff or difficult to adjust

Ensure the adjusters are clean and free of debris. If the webbing is new, it may take some use to break in. Avoid using lubricants on the webbing itself.

Buckle is difficult to fasten or release

Check the buckle for any obstructions or dirt. Ensure the male and female parts are correctly aligned before attempting to fasten. Clean the buckle mechanism with a mild cleaner if necessary.

Webbing shows signs of wear or fraying

Immediately discontinue use and replace the harness. Damaged webbing compromises safety and is not compliant with racing standards.

Harness does not feel secure after adjustment

Re-read the installation instructions and ensure all mounting points are correctly attached and tightened. Verify that the harness is correctly routed through the seat and aligned with the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure all mounting points are secure and rated for harness loads. Use the snap hook fixings or roll bar loops as appropriate for your vehicle's chassis or roll cage. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's and harness manufacturer's instructions for correct installation angles and load paths. Always ensure the harness is used strictly with an approved FHR/HANS device as per FIA 8853-2016 regulations.

Compatibility: This harness is designed for use in competition vehicles equipped with FHR systems. Compatibility with specific seat designs should be verified, particularly concerning the width of the 2” FHR webbing. Mounting points must be structurally sound and compliant with racing regulations.

Care: Clean the harness webbing and adjusters with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the webbing material. Allow the harness to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Regularly inspect the webbing for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage, and replace the harness if any such issues are found.
