Possibilities for adjustment
Brake
The manufacturer has set all line and riser lengths of the MANX
with high precision to the tested measurements as standard. In a
multi-phased process for securing quality every paraglider is
rechecked individually before leaving the manufacturer.
Therefore, there is no need for readjustment or fine trimming.
Your MANX has been set optimally regarding flight performance,
handling and safety.
Any arbitrary alteration of line lengths or risers will result in the
expiry of any responsibility of the manufacturers or distributors!
Exceptions to this are adjustments of brake position and speed
system.
The brake line adjustments of the MANX at the time of its serial
dispatch are the medium position.
This length adjustment may never be shortened, which means
the brake toggle may never be set at a position which is more
than 5 cm higher! The result would be a continuously slowed-
down canopy. Please note that through drag the brake already
transmits power before it looks tight in the pilot's eyes!
At the time of dispatch, the brake adjustments have a neutral path
of about 10cm. This adjustment is more apt for practice since it
does not involve the risk of slowing down the canopy
unintentionally. The marking on the steering line corresponds to
this adjustment and should not be set below if possible!
Warning! In no case may the position of the steering lines be
shortened by more than 5 cm relative to the marking applied!
The MANX exhibits comfortable handling with medium brake
distances. It shows a progression of brake forces (increase of
forces with brake distance). It is therefore important that every
pilot makes the best adjustments according to his size, harness
combination and personal preferences in order not to tire rapidly
by a non-ergonomic position of the brakes.
The region between shoulder and chest is inefficient for muscle
power input; this is a transitional region between pulling and
pushing for the arms.
