The more turbulent the weather conditions and when near the ground, the
less acceleration should be used. Using the accelerator decreases the angle
of attack and can make the glider more prone to collapse.
Do not use the acceleration system and brakes at the same time! It is very
dangerous to use both simultaneously as it can result in serious collapses.

It is forbidden to open the TSO more than 20 mm because a paraglider with
a setting of more than 20 mm has no declaration of conformity.
To fly with a setting of more than 20 mm is forbidden because it
may occur
that a portion of your glider deflates, especially when using the
acceleration system and flying in turbulent conditions.
If the TSO is damaged (e.g. it is broken) the rear riser is protected with a
backup riser. In this case, you will have to correct the drift by leaning on
the opposite side, carefully and safely fly to the nearest landing place and
do not pull too hard on the brake lines, there is an increased risk of the
wing to stalling or negative turn being initiated.
Its also important for your safety that you never change recommended
settings for the TSO to obtain a higher speed without any adjustment
would be necessary.
Both sides must always be set to the same length!
Depending on whether a glider is flown at the upper or lower limit, the trim speed is
different. With increasing age, the A-and B-lines stretch in proportion to the C / D
level a bit more. Even with the temperature changes the trim speed and extreme
flight behavior of modern gliders but therefore it is not necessary to adjust the
TSO. The TSO is protected by a neoprene cover on the rear riser, can only be set
on the ground and is unchangeable in the air. For adjusting put back the neoprene
covering, than the safeguard, adjust TSO by 5 mm steps (= distance between
adjustment notches) and place back the safeguard. Total value of the TSO is
limited with a safety belt.
When all risers have the same length the original trim exists. The lengths of
the risers can be combined (add correction of wing loading, aging and
temperature).
