Dudek POGO 3, User Manual

Page: 28 / 42

The rescue chute must be periodically aired and repacked, according to its manual. The Pogo3 harness will best accommodate light
rescue chutes: Globe Light 90 , Globe Light 110 or Globe Light 135 manufactured by Dudek Paragliders. It is possible to use rescue
parachutes by other manufacturers too, as long as their dimensions when packed do not exceed those of the container.
Container capacity: With a capacity-reducing insert
Max 6250 cm3 Max 5400 cm3
Min 5200 cm3 Min 4500 cm3
!
After each installation of a rescue chute in a container a compatibility test is necessary. In order to do that, hang the harness,
equipped and packed as for flight. Seat down in the harness and assume the usual position in flight. Grab the container release
handle and pull it to the side in a resolute effort, so that the parachute is completely out of the container. Still, do not throw it away,
so that the bag remains closed. If the trial was successful, put the rescue back into the container.
If, however, the parachute could not be released properly, possible reasons are:
- too big a parachute in relation to container’s dimensions (after a repacking the parachute is usually bigger than it originally was)
- you pull the handle not resolutely enough or in wrong direction (i.e. to the front, to the back or upwards).
!
Leaving the sliders in the upper position
(as in the pictures on the right) will make it
impossible to open the container and use
the rescue parachute! Before the flight,
make sure that the container is properly
closed.
