Risers
The glider
has 3 fold risers with separated A-risers, an acceleration system which will
be activated with a foot bar. The main brake line comes through a return pulley; the
handle of the main break line is mounted on the C- riser.
The acceleration system is mounted on the A- riser but it is not to be utilized for
ground handling.
Preparation for ground handling
Note that
•
You have a barrier-free terrain (no obstacles such as trees, groups of trees,
pedestrians etc. nearby)
•
The wind comes from the right direction in the right strength,
•
the wind should be laminar (about 10 - 15 km / h) or at least not very gusty (gusts
below 25 km / h)
•
you have solid shoes and thin gloves (so that you can easily reach the straps and
lines)
•
Do not forget the helmet !!
Prepare yourself as if you were starting forward. Then turn to the opposite direction
of your bend direction.
You can also attach yourself with a view to the screen. The procedure is as follows:
When you turn right, face the
paraglider, hold both A- risers in the
hand, hold them parallel to one
another and turn them 180 degrees
to the right.
Then first hang the left riser (in the
direction of the flight) in the left snap
hook and then the right riser into the
right snap hook.
Thus, the right riser is located over
the left.
