Initial harness set-up
Before you fly with your SNUG, we recommend you should
hang it in a static swing and adjust it to achieve
the best
fit and angle of incline for you, and familiarise yourself with the various adjustments and the position of the reserve
handle. Stow your usual gear in the harness back to closely simulate how the harness will feel in the air.
Lumbar adjustment
The lumbar adjustment adjusts the incline of the harness. Please note that a more reclined position reduces the
stability of the harness and potentially increases the risk of twisting under the wing.
Shoulder strap adjustment
Adjust the shoulder straps to fit, so you are comfortable in both flying and standing positions. The straps may appear
loose while in the seated position but some play is required to avoid excessive strap pressure in the standing position.
Chest strap adjustment
With an auto balance system or ABS, the pilot can adjust the roll stability of the harness to their own preferences. If the
chest strap is tightened, the roll stability of the harness is increased; loosening the chest strap decreases the roll stability.
Speed system adjustment
Get an assistant to hold the risers up in a flying position for you. The speed system should be adjusted to the correct
length so that when there is no pressure on the bar, the speedbar line does not have any effect on the risers. With
