Independence Evo CROSS 100, Owner'S Manual

Page: 15 / 16

18.1. harnesses without integrated rescue system container:
If the harness does not have an integrated rescue system container use one of the outercontainer which is shown at point
15.
The outercontainer shown at point 15 has got several loops, eyelets and velcro-tapes on it´s back side to attach it at the
harness. The possibilities of the attachment to the harness depends on the harness. For a correct mounting on the harness
please refer to the harness manual.
18.2. Usage of a frontcontainer / outercontainer of an other manufacturer:
The possible usage of a front container or of an outercontainer of an other manufacturer depends on the size and if the
container is certified. If the container is too small or not certified the operating license of the rescue system expires. If it is a
container of an other manufacturer you have to read the manual of the container.
For attaching the system to the harness please refer to the harness manual.
18.3. harnesses with integrated rescue container:
Almost all modern harnesses have an intergrated rescue container in which a rescue system can be placed. For the correct
mounting of the rescue system in such a container please refer to the harness manual.
18. 4. Harnesses with combined deployment bag/release handle
Several harnesses are equipped with a complete release handle/deployment bag system, which is adapted optimally to the
corresponding harness.
When using such a system ensure that the deployment bag is compatible to the rescue system used. Please consider:
1. The permitted volume range of the handle/deployment bag system must cover the volume of the rescue system. The
volume of the rescue system is to be found under 1. Technical datas.
2. In addition make sure that the deployment bag releases the rescue system without any problem.
A deployment bag with 4 or more flaps (so called cloverleaf deployment bag) is in general compatible.
The use of a deployment bag in the shape of a pocket (so called pocket container - exemplary design see under no 15) is
possible, but must be tested and certified by a LTF test laboratory separately for every rescue system model.The
deployment bag which comes as standard with the Evo Cross Serie is of course compatible.
Mounting:
If the above conditions are met, the rescue system is to be packed by following No. 16 (Packing the parachute) step 1 to 26.
The remaining steps of stowing the rescue system in the harness specific deployment bag is shown in the manual of the
harness.
If the harness manual shows a so called stack-packpacking method, this is also possible! The below imaging shows the

Attention:
If the parachute is mounted to a harness or a front/outer container you have to check the compatibility. This check is only
allowed to be done by therefore authorizied persons. The compatibility check have to be noticed in the “Repack and
inspection log book”.
Beside some other points you have to take care particularly that the connection length of the release handle to the
innercontainer is minimized. Therefore are three loops at the deployment bag at which the release handle can be attached.
You should always try to use the shortest possible connection to ensure that the rescue parachute can be thrown as good as
possible. But you also have to take care that the release out of the container is not hinderd in any way. (take care that the
release pin does not block!!!). Read the manual of the harness in any way.
19. Specialities for paraglider´s winch towing
For winch towing you have to consider the instructions of the harness-, paraglider- and towing release manufacturer!
If you use a frontcontainer you have to ensure that the rescue parachute can be released in every situation.
20. Pre-flight check
In addition to a normal preflight check (see manual of the glider/harness or maybe towing device), you have to check before
every take off that the rescue container is closed correctly and the release handle is placed correctly.
If the rescue parachute connection bridle is removed after every flight (for example: when you use a frontcontainer) you also
