Dudek POGO 3, User Manual

Page: 34 / 42

11. Harness/paraglider connection
The Pogo 3 harness is equipped with aluminium Dudek carabiners of 20 kN strength. Use them to connect the harness to the
paraglider’s risers. Another thing to connect before launch are the speedsystem lines of the harness and the speedsystem of the
risers. It is recommended to replace main carabiners with new ones after 300 hrs airtime.
!
Before launch check if the carabiners are locked and guarded against accidental opening.
12. Harness/tow connection
The only safe way of attaching the tow line is a dedicated tow release. The Pogo 3 is not equipped with a dedicated tow release fix
points, therefore it is to be mounted directly on the harness’ carabiners or the canopy risers.
!
If the tow release is fixed to the carabiners, it must be observed that they are mounted with its locks facing back, so that the tow
release is placed on the smooth part of the carabiner.
By far the better method of attaching the tow release is to clip it directly into the riser of the paraglider, using a pair of C5 quicklinks.
