On the back of this label, you can write the information that you think should be
given to rescue personnel in case of accident.
The XEMA LIGHT has a spacious dorsal pocket and two side pockets, positioned
respectively on the sides of the harness with zips to close them.
The right and left side of the main suspension are marked by eyelets in different
colors. The carabiners are made of aluminum and loadable up to 2.4 tons.
Speed system
After having adjusted the sitting position to the optimum configuration, the
accelerator must be adjusted. This harness is compatible with all normal types of
speed-system accelerators.
The elastic in front of the board that
retains the speed-bar keeps the handle
of
your
reserve
parachute
from
becoming tangled in the event it is
deployed. The speed bar cords should
be passed first through the rings fixed
to the elastic in front of the board, then
in the harness through the eyelets near
the front corners of the seat, then
through the pulleys located near the rear corners of the seat.
To adjust the system correctly, the pilot has to adopt a flying position in the
harness, suspended from a flight simulator, and hook into the risers of the
paraglider. Another person then helps by supporting the risers, so the pilot can
adjust the length of the speed-system cords. When no pressure is exerted on the
speed bar, the bar must be at a distance no greater than 10 cm below the front of
the harness.
If the speed-bar cord is too short, it could cause a constant force on the bar
during flight, so that the accelerator is unintentionally engaged at all times in
flight.
It is safest to take off with the speed-bar a little too long,
progressively shortening it during the next flights.
To retain the speed-bar during the take-off run use the
straps located in front of the seat that close with
magnets. This system also allows you to use the
speed-bar straps with adjustment of the central ropes.
Remember that all adjustments have to be performed symmetrically, on both
sides.
Relax - bar
The relax-bar is used to keep the legs stretched out and the feet resting on a
support. Some pilots consider this flying position more comfortable than the classic
seated position with legs hanging. To attach the optional relax bar to the harness,
follow the instructions provided in the relax-bar instruction manual.
Leg - cover
The special cover in waterproof, vapor-permeable fabric ensures protection from
the cold and provides an improved aerodynamic profile. To fit the optional leg
cover to the harness, follow the instructions provided in the Leg Cover instruction
manual.
