3. CERTIFICATION
Go is EN-A and LTF-A certified in all sizes.
The EN/LTF certificate for each Go is located on a rib in the middle of canopy. Certification is valid for
the use with all ABS harnesses. This type of harness allows a certain degree of adjustment to be made
to the length of the waist strap. Between 40cm (TOW < 80kg), 44cm (80kg < TOW < 100kg) and 48cm
(TOW > 100kg) - with regard to size of the glider - is the recommended distance between the carabiners.
In common with all other paragliders, when looser cross-bracing is used while flying the Go, the pilot’s
weight-shift control is greater. The glider is also more sensitive to the movement in the surrounding
air. When cross-bracing is tighter, the pilot feels subjectively more stable, however turning by weight-
shift is less effective.
WARNING: The Go paraglider is only built for hill or tow launching. It is not built to withstand jumping
from a plane, balloon, building or for any jumps where there is a belated opening of the canopy. Use of
subsidiary motor (eg paramotoring) has not been tested by the manufacturer or by any other testing
body.
