inside of your glider. When it is clean you can close the vent and fix it with the
Velcro.
Lines
SITTA is a hybrid 3- line glider. Depending on the line level, we use different line
diameters. The end control of all line lengths is documented for all paragliders
produced by ICARO paragliders. The length of all lines is set correctly at the
factory and should not be changed.
The complete geometry of the lines is shown
on the single line plan, which you find in the annex of the manual.
Each alteration of the lines is dangerous, therefore forbidden and you lose
the pattern test and guarantee.
Risers
The glider
has 3 fold risers made of Dyneema with separated A-
risers and an acceleration system. The risers are signified. The
lines are fixed with loops. The main break 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.
A detailed description of the risers and canopy you can find in
the annex.
ALTERATIONS ON LOOPS, LINES OR RISERS ARE
FORBIDDEN BECAUSE YOU CRASH. CHANGE THE LINES
IS ONLY ALLOWED IN ACCORDANCE WITH DESCRIPTION
ON PAGE 17 OF THIS MANUAL. WRONG CHANGING IS
VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!
Trimming the risers
Dyneema is a trademark for synthetic fibres based on polyethylene with ultra-high
molar mass (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene - = UHMW-PE). The single
fibres have a high strength and a high resistance against deformation in the fibre
direction. In combination with the low density, this results in extremely high
strength on a weight-for-weight basis, making it one of the strongest man-made
fibres. Subjecting Dyneema fibre to long-term static loads leads to a permanent
elongation called creep. To counteract this lines are pre-stretched during
production depending on the load so they stretch only slightly during use.
The risers of
SITTA
have the same properties. As to the respective suspension
levels on the canopy different loads may occur to the risers depending on the
suspension plane stretches slightly. For this reason, the length of the straps must
be checked from time to time and if necessary re-trimmed.
UP TO A DIFFERENCE OF NO MORE THAN 5 MM IN LENGTH OF THE
INDIVIDUAL STRAPS OF THE RISER ON A-, B- AND C- LEVEL
RE-TRIMMING IS NOT REQUIRED.
IF THERE IS A GREATER DIFFERENCE, YOU CAN ADJUST THE RISERS
FOR YOUR OWN IN ACCORDANCE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION.
