How to secure the release handle:

To avoid an unintentional opening it is obligatory to use a seal thread in the opening mechanism. This defines a minimum
opening force. This special thread must be put through the loop at the release handle and harness and has to be fixed by
a knot. (See picture 6 red arrow)

To secure the pin it is only allowed to use certified material because if the strength of this material is too high the save
operation of the rescue system is not guaranteed.
This thread is supplied by Flymarket GmbH & Co. KG! Do

not use

other threads which may look the same!

Attention:

After every installation of a rescue-system in a harness there must be a test if the opening force is between 2 and 7 daN. If
harness and rescue parachute are combined the first time a compatibility check have to be performed by an authorized
person!
The compatibility must be confirmed in the parachute repack log book.

Operating notes:

Operation of the protector:

The Logo Easy / Logo! Pro has a type certified back protector made out of a special foam, which is sewn in a nylon fabric
cover. Before every take off you have to check that the protector is completely filled up with air. Especially on low
temperatures and after long disuse of the protector (if compressed during storage) it may take a little longer to be inflated
completely.

During a hard landing the air inside of the protector will be compressed and the air will be deflated through the seams of
the nylon fabric cover. The resulting deceleration distributes the impact energy over a longer period and protects the
spine from extreme peak loads. The G-forces achieved in the type certification were very good. However, even the best
back protection does not guarantee the prevention of back injuries!!!

For this reason, the protector should not be used for unnecessary seat board landings. With every use the protector will
be less efficient and the effect of protection less - even if no damage is visible.
If a damage is visible the protector is not to be used anymore as well as after a hard landing!! In this case the protector
must be exchanged or repaired from an authorised dealer/workshop.

Before use of the harness the following points should be checked:

Outer shell of the protector and the entire belt system intact?

Protector fully inflated?

Rescue container and release handle properly closed and mounted?

Acceleration system (if mounted) properly mounted and adjusted?

All harness buckles properly closed and adjusted?

Maintenance / service life of the protector:

The protector is almost maintenance free. Before each take off the protector should be checked if in right position and
fully inflated. The protector is, because of to the mounting position between rescue container and seat board, protected
from mechanical damage. Visible damage (holes, cracks) must be repaired, otherwise the outer shell can break during
an impact with a loss of damping.
After a hard landing with the use of the protector and if a damage is visible the protector must be repaired or exchanged
by the manufacturer or an authorised dealer/workshop.

Tandem flights:

The Logo! Easy is only suitable as a passenger harness. As a pilots harness the Logo Pro it is not suitable because the
rescue system container will not fit for a tandem rescue system.

Towing:

The Logo! Easy /Logo! Pro is suitable for towing if the main carabiners are used as attachment points for the towing
release. There are no separate attachment points to mount a towing release!

Behavior in particular cases

During water and strong wind landings the pilot should disconnect himself as soon as possible from the paraglider /
harness after landing. For that please loosen the leg belts and then open the leg and chest buckles. We generally
recommend to carry a webbing cutter!
For tree landings, etc. the pilot should first secure himself against a possible crash and should wait for professional help.
Contrary to above recommendations, it is possible that a different behavior as described is required. The variety of
possible situations not allows an universal or general advise for the right behavior. The right behavior is a case-to-case
decision in full responsibility of the pilot.

Lifetime and replacement of parts, repair advice

The Logo! / Logo! Pro is designed for high loads and stress. High demands were set in the choice of materials. The
lifetime of the harness depends on a high degree of awareness and treatment of the pilot. We recommend to inspect the
harness periodically for signs of wear. If necessary damaged components must be replaced.

Damaged components may only be repaired by the manufacturer or an authorized workshop. Only original parts are to
be used!

If the harness is dirty, clean it only with water. Avoid mechanical stress as brush and rub. Chemical cleaners will damage
fabric and webbing.

Only Logo! Pro: Except the rubber bands of the deployment bag and sealing thread no spare part is necessary at the
Logo! Pro. Only approved rubber bands with the size of 30x3x1 mm ir 25x3x1x mm should be used. An inexpensive
purchase is possible through us.

Maintenance, inspection, periodic check:

The Logo! Easy / Logo! Pro is almost maintenance free but it requires a regular check for damage. Regular inspection
gives you the guarantee of a full function of the harness.

Take particulary care that no dirt gets into the mechanic of the buckles and that all moving parts of the buckle are running
free and are not damaged. If needed you can oil the buckles a little bit.

The maintenence of the protector is described separate.

The harness must undergo at least after 24 months a complete check. The carabiner must be replaced according the
carabiner manufacturer instructions, lately after 1000 hours or 5 years. Only original carabiners are to be used! The
periodic check must be documented.

Storage and transport:

In order to prevent unnecessary weakening of the harness we recommend for storage and transport:

- avoid high temperatures (for example: closed car in summer)
- avoid dealing with fire, sharp objects and chemicals close the harness
- avoid unnecessary long exposure to sunlight as ultraviolet radiation destroys the molecular structure of the material
- avoid contact with salt water or acid liquids
- if the harness is not in use for a long time, especially the back protector should not be stored compressed. Store the
harness in a cool, dry place.

Disposal:

The materials used in a paragliding harness require proper disposal. Please return the worn-out equipment to us. The
equipment will be disposed properly by us.

Nature- and environment friendly behaviour:

Actually it’s self evident, but nevertheless mentioned particularly: Please do our nature near sport in a way which do not
stress nature and environment!
Please do not walk beside the marked ways, don’t leave your litter, don’t make unnecessary loud noises and respect the
sensitive balance in the mountains.
Especially at the take-off we have to take care for the nature!
