because only with optimal seating comfort you can not only fly stress-free but also 
optimize the flight characteristics of your paraglider. 

All  technical  data  and  instructions  in  this  manual  were  drawn  up  with  great  care. 
ICARO  Paragliders  cannot  be  made  responsible  for  any  possible  errors  in  this 
manual.  

Should you decide to sell this harness at a later date, please pass on this manual 
to the new owner.  

All  technical  data  and  instructions  in  this  manual  were  drawn  up  with  great  care. 
ICARO  Paragliders  cannot  be  made  responsible  for  any  possible  errors  in  this 
manual.  

Important  information  in  this  manual  is  written  in 

fat  cursive  writing

.  Any 

important  changes  to  this  manual  will  be  published  in  our  homepage 
(

). 

Every  pilot  bears  the  responsibility  of  his/her  own  safety.  The  manufacturer  or 
distributor assumes no responsibility for accidents occurring while using it. 

No warranty of any kind can be made against accidents, injury, equipment failure, 
and/or  death.  It  is  assumed  that  the  pilot  is  in  possession  of  the  necessary 
qualifications and provisions of any relevant laws are observed. 

Any  changes  to  the  harness  (e.g.  straps,  shackles, 
protector)  are  dangerous  and  can  lead  to  unwanted 
reactions  of  the  paraglider.  When  our  harnesses  leave 
production,  they  are  within  the  permissible  tolerance 
range.  This  is  very  narrow  and  must  not  be  changed 
under  any  circumstances,  as  this  no  longer  warranties 
the optimum balance between performance, handling and 
safety,  no  longer  conforming  to  the  sample-tested 
harness and thus no longer being type-tested. 

 

Environmental aspects:  

After  we  are  concerned  not  only  with  quality  but  also  with  environmental 
protection, we also want to provide our active contribution here. 

The  materials  of  which  a  harness  is  made  require  a  special  waste  disposal.  So 
please  send  disused  ICARO  -  harnesses  back  to  us.  We  will  care  about  a 
professional waste disposal without costing for you. 

Please  do  our  nature-near  sport  in  a  way  which  does  not  stress  nature  and 
environment! 

Please do not walk beside the marked ways, do not leave your litter, do not make 
unnecessary loud noises and respect the sensitive balance in the mountains. 

 

Especially at the launch site consideration is needed!
