Ensure that the main karabiners between harness and Risers are undamaged and are closed.
The harness must be put on with greatest care and all straps secured correctly.
Check the correct position of the reserve (rescue) handle and make sure the pins of the reserve
(rescue) are in place.
The lines and Risers should be sorted carefully. Check that the Risers are not twisted and that
the brake lines are running free. All lines must run from Riser to canopy free from tangles or
knots – during flight it is often not possible to release knots in lines.
Lines lie directly on the ground. Therefore, take care that they don’t get caught or snagged
during take-off.
No lines should be underneath the canopy, line-overs can cause accidents.
The canopy should be laid out in a circular shape facing the wind, so that all lines become
tensioned evenly when inflating.
ATTENTION: NEVER TAKE OFF (START) WITH OPEN KARABINERS!
b.
Check-list – Pre-Flight-Check
Lay the glider out into a slight arc and check that:
Canopy is dry and undamaged
Cell openings are free of obstructions
Risers are without damage and all stitching is intact
Maillons on lines are closed correctly
All lines are free from tangles or knots
Brakes lines run freely through the pulleys
Knots on brake lines are secure
After putting on harness check the:
Position of reserve (rescue) handle and pins
Leg loops and strap are fastened correctly
Main karabiners are closed
Before launch check:
That the speed-system is connected correctly and runs smoothly through
the pulleys
That the Risers are not twisted
Place brake handles in the hands and check brake lines are free
Your position is in the centre of the wing
Wind direction
That take-off area is clear
That airspace is free from congestion
c.
Take-Off
The key to successful launching is to practice ground-handling on flat ground as often as
possible.
The VOLT2 inflates easily and steadily using forward or reverse launch techniques. There is no
tendency for the canopy to hang back during inflation. To forward (alpine) launch in light or nil
wind there is no need to pull the risers hard. Allow the glider to stabilize overhead and run
