Most harnesses have a handle for the harness containers. This handle must be 
connected to the inner container.  The inner container of ICARO rescue systems 
has two loops, in which the handle of the harness can be attached (center, side). 

Handles for front and back containers are generally suspended in the central loop, 
container on side or under the seat, the side strap used. 

If there is no handle of the harness or it does not fit with 
your inner container, please ask the dealer of your 
harness or your paragliding school. 

Attachment of the connection belt with the harness 

For connecting the two belts use a fixable 24 KN- snap hook 
with  a diameter of 8 mm. It is very important that the snap 
hook cannot twist to prevent traverse stress of the snap 
hook.  

Therefore use cable fixer, adhesive tape or strong rubber bands and pull it 

above 

and below the snap hook 

around the belts.  

Another fixing method is to 
put the belt  of the rescue 
system through the 
connection belt of the 
harness and than the rescue 
system trough the harness 
belt as shown in the photo. 

t is just as very important 
that the knot is very tight 
fastened. Therefore use 
cable fixer, adhesive tape or 
strong rubber bands and pull 
it 

above and below the 

knot

 around the belts. 

 

 Please pay attention to the symmetry of both lines. Neither side of the loop 
must be longer than the other. 

Closing the container 

Now put the rescue system in the container under 
the seat. 

First insert the delivered rubber bands with knots in 
the eyelets of flap (flap with smaller eyelets, Nr.1). 
Then fold the flap inwards. 
The rescue connection handle must be threaded 
through the loops so that the connection line can be 
tightened without difficulty. 
The packing cords are threaded through the eyelets 
of the flap Nr.2 

Then pull the lines through the last remaining flap 3 
(with transparent window) and fix the splint with the 
now visible rubber bands.
