Advance acoustic LIGHTNESS 3, Manual

Page: 18 / 54

Setting the speed system
The LIGHTNESS 3 comes with speed system ready-fitted. The
speed loop is attached at the carbon footboard by bungee. This atta-
ches to the centre footboard loop as standard, but can be mounted
left or right as desired for loop pickup.
Connect the LIGHTNESS 3 speed lines to your paraglider using
Brummel hooks or kite loops (anchor hitch). Set the speed loop
lengths by moving the positions of the knots inside the speedbag and
tighten the kite loops at this position (same both sides). The speed
system is correctly adjusted when you can use both speed loops, and
have the total accelerate range available. Make sure the setting is not
too short - an error which would cause the wing to be permanently
accelerated.
Caution: Your paraglider must not be accelerated by an arti-
ficial trimspeed i.e. with hands and feet up! If this is the case
your speed system is set TOO SHORT, and must definitely be
lengthened.
Closing the speeebag
The LIGHTNESS 3 speedbag is closed by the Closure Remember
System (CRS). This safety device is directly attached to the chest/
leg straps, and alerts the pilot to the status of the leg straps when the
speedbag top is closed. Lead red loop #1 through #2 and #3 metal
eyelets and fix it on the black ball (Step 1).
