Back Support
Straps
are best adjusted while the harness is
suspended from a suitable structure before flying for the first time.
To change to full up right position, pull on the forward loop. To
recline back, pull on the back loop.
Chest Strap
Adjustment
Can be made any time during or before flight. Chest strap
adjustment does not change the seating position. The primary
function of this strap is semi cross-bracing functionality also known
as
ABS
. A wide setting provides little cross bracing with
maximum weight shift control. The tightest setting offers maximum
cross-over stability with minimum weight-shift steering control. We
recommend setting the distance between the carabiners as noted
on the glider’s certification report.
Leg Straps
Adjustment
Should be made in an upright position after having buckled both
leg straps and the chest strap. If you cannot stand upright
comfortably while the leg straps are fully extended, the shoulder
straps may be too tight. If the leg straps are too long, it may be
difficult to transition to a seated position after take-off. Generally,
we advise to adjust the leg straps short and the shoulder straps
long.
