8. The Lineman’s Harness (Fall Arrest/ Positioning)
is a special-order harness that has a permanently-
attached lineman’s body belt.
This harness has a fall-arrest D-ring attached to the
upper middle of the back. It also features leg, seat,
chest, and shoulder straps, easy-connect buckles, and
detachable shoulder pads made of synthetic lamb’s
wool. The lineman’s body belt has positioning
D-rings attached to each side.
This harness is available with five different belts:
• The LH5278 style has a deluxe full-floating* body
belt, with a glove bag ring, two-way knife snap, two
pocket tabs, four belt-suspender rings, a tape
thong, and leather hand stitching.
• The LH5249 style has a full-floating* body belt
with a glove bag ring, two-way knife snap, two
pocket tabs, four belt-suspender rings, a tape
thong and a tool area hood.
• The LH5282 style has a full-floating* body belt
with a glove bag ring, two-way knife snap, two
pocket tabs, four belt-suspender rings, and a tape
thong.
• The LH5266 style has a semi-floating* body belt
with a glove bag ring, two-way knife snap, two
pocket tabs, four belt-suspender rings, a tape
thong, and a No. 5133 hand-line clip.
• The LH5268 style has a fixed-style* body belt with
a glove bag ring, two-way knife snap, two pocket
tabs, four belt-suspender rings, and a tape thong.
To use these harnesses: (1) Attach a fall-arrest con-
necting device to the fall-arrest D-ring in the upper
middle of the harness back. (2) Attach a lineman’s
positioning strap (or other positioning connecting
device) to the side D-rings on the belt.

NOTE: For information on ordering the Lineman’s
Harness, call the Klein Tools Sales Department, toll-
free at 1-800-553-4676.
Only use connecting devices
equipped with locking snap hooks.
Never alter or modify a harness.
Always select a harness that fits properly without
modification.
Fall-arrest anchorage must be inde-
pendent of worker support and be able to support
a minimum of 5,000 lbs. per attached worker.
* Full-floating belts allow lateral movement of the D-rings during
use. Semi-floating belts only allow lateral movement prior to wear-
ing. Fixed-style belts are lightweight and the most economical.
