Pre-delivery Inspection
The Bolero Plus is delivered with speed system, rucksack, inner bag, compression strap, repair
tape and this manual. Your instructor or dealer should have made a test inflation followed by a
test flight before delivery.
Speed System
The speed system increases the maximum speed by lowering the angle of attack with a pulley-
guided, foot-operated system. Approx. 10 km/h gain in speed can be realized with the
accelerator at full travel.
It is important to have your accelerator system correctly routed through your harness and
attached to the risers with the supplied Brummel hooks. The length of the speed bar should be
initially adjusted while on the ground, sitting in the harness so that the legs are fully extended
at the point of full accelerator travel. It is helpful to have an assistant hold the risers taut
while making this adjustment. Subsequent fine tuning can be done on the ground following the
first flight with the speed system. If in doubt about this procedure, consult your instructor or
dealer.

Brake line adjustment
The main brake line lengths of the Bolero Plus correspond to the tested results of DHV. These
line lengths have been fine tuned by GIN test pilots, and it should not be necessary to adjust
them.
