Speed system
The speed system should be connected from the seat end upwards. Pass the speed bar
line from the foot end, through the metal ring, under the side straps, through the big
pulley and up through the slot in the cover, adjust the length and tie the line to the hook.
Be careful that the lines run freely and are not tangled.
Adjustments
The Haven should be adjusted to suit your physique and flying style. It is important to
adjust it correctly to ensure you can easily slide into the sitting position after take off.
Adjustments should ideally be tested by hanging on a simulator prior to the first flight.
Additional fine-tuning can be done during your first few flights.
Ensure that the rescue system, back and side protection have been installed before
making adjustments.
Height of main attachment points above seat plate varies from 41 up to 46 cm
depending on the size of the harness.
Shoulder straps
The optimum setting for the shoulder straps depends on the height of the pilot. Stand
upright with the chest/leg straps closed and symmetrically adjust the shoulder straps
until they are just tight. To loosen the shoulder straps, pull the narrow webbing loop
that protrudes downwards from the buckle cover on the shoulder strap. The shoulder
straps don't slip down thanks to an auxiliary strap with a plastic clip. A well-designed
back pocket system enables easy assembly of the harness and packing in a rucksack.
Lateral straps
The lateral straps adjust the angle between the thighs and the back. This angle can
be set between 110° and 130°. Lengthening the straps increases the angle and vice-
versa. The easiest way to adjust them correctly is during a flight in calm air. Remember
that flying in the “supine position”, that means leaning back, reduces the stability of the
harness and increases the risk of twisting after an asymmetric deflation.
Seat adjustment straps
The seat adjustment straps allow you to adjust the depth of the seat. You can control
the angle of the seat in the seating position with these straps. To get the optimum
setting you can loosen these straps to the maximum in the sitting position and start
pulling the straps until you get the comfort from the back support depending on the
flying style of the pilot.
