NOTE: Make sure that the rescue system has
been installed before making adjustments. Adjustments
After choosing a harness that is close to your body size, adjust your harness to suit your physique
and flying style. It is important to adjust it correctly to ensure you can easily slide into the sitting
position after take off. A poorly adjusted harness can adversely affect the flying characteristics of your
paraglider.
Perform adjustments before your first flight by hanging in a simulator and fine-tune the settings if
necessary during your first few flights.
Shoulder straps (1)
The optimum setting for the shoulder straps depends on the height of the pilot. Step into the harness
and stand upright with the breast strap closed, symmetrically adjust the shoulder straps until they are a
snug fit, but not tight.
To tighten: pull down on the black and green loop
To loosen: pull up on the BLACK loop on the top of the shoulder strap.
Breast strap (2)
After adjusting the shoulder straps, place the breast strap in a comfortable position and tighten so
there is slight pressure on the shoulder straps.
Leg straps
The correct adjustment of the leg straps allows the pilot to easily reach the sitting position after take-
off without using his hands. Use the buckles under the seat plate to adjust the leg straps so that they
fit comfortably without being tight; make sure you do it symmetrically. If you need to lengthen the leg
straps, first check that the shoulder straps are not too tight. It is not normally necessary to make large
adjustments from the default leg strap setting.
