system combines the best characteristics of current protection systems (airbag
and foam protection).
Side protection is available as an option to protect the pelvis. The two side
protection pieces are connected to one another and made in a single piece which
prevents shifting during impact.
In order to prevent the pilot from coming out of the harness if he forgets to fasten
the leg-straps, the harness is equipped with the most effective safety system. The
ENERGY SP
is provided with a big rear bag and two side pockets. All equipment
not needed during can be placed in the rear bag. Bothe pockets are closed with a
zip so that nothing can fall out during flight.
Speed system
All necessary deflection pulleys to install the speed system are mounted. The rope
guide was chosen to provide easy and comfortable use of the speed system also
for longer periods of time.
Put the ropes which are attached at the foot bar through the rings at the front right
and left of the harness from the outside and then through the eyelets on the side.
Afterwards put the ropes which are now running inside the harness through the
pulley which can be found at the left and right of the sitting board.
The ropes which have been put through the eyelets and the pulley need to be
bypassed on the outside along the harness bands and fastened with the brummel
hook.
Adjust the length of the rope in this way that both legs are straightened completely
when flying maximum speed (both pulley of the risers are laying on top of each
other).
Please pay attention that the glider will not be pre-accelerated, while the
accelerator is loosened, when the acceleration ropes are set too short.
At the start we advice to fix the accelerator with the Velcro which is attached at the
front of the sitting board, in order to avoid tripping while pulling up the glider or
when starting up.
The description refers to the rope characteristics of an ICARO harness.
When using a different harness the application can be different.
Before starting the brummel hook (foot accelerator-glider-riser) are stuck together.
When flying normal all risers have the same length. When using the accelerator
system the risers A, B and C are shortened by a constructive exactly defined
length and therefore the angle of attack of the canopy is smaller. The length of the
D-riser however is not changed. This causes a reduction of the angle of attack of
the whole glider and results to an increase of speed.
Adjustment of ENERGY SP
The
harness can be adjusted in many ways to the individual needs and likings of
each pilot. We advise each pilot to take time to get acquainted to the harness. This
will reward the pilot with an excellent sitting comfort. To carry out the adjustments
we advise to hang the harness in a simulator.
Conduct the adjustments with the rescue system installed.
