Adjusting of the chest strap
The chest strap is secured with a T-lock system buckle. This prevents any chance of the
pilot falling out of the harness if he forgets to fasten the legs straps. The clicks must be
audible! By adjusting the chest strap the pilot determines the sensitivity of the harness
and the ABS system.
Adjustment of the distance between the main carabineers is made using the narrow
chest strap leading through an adjustable flat buckle. The harness is most sensitive to
weight-shift when the chest strap is released. The shorter the distance between the
main carabineers the less sensitive the harness becomes to weight shift and the effect
of the ABS-system is increased. By pulling the black colored “release” loop the chest
strap can be slackened.
Additional chest strap with whistle
Additional chest strap with plastic buckle with whistle provides better position of padded
shoulder flaps and prevents their sliding by wide adjustments of the chest strap.
Whistle on plastic buckle can help in emergency cases.

Adjusting of leg straps
The leg straps are secured with adjustable automatic Finsterwalder buckles. The click
must be audible!
Correctly adjusted, the leg straps control the freedom of movement of the legs, before
and during take off. If the leg straps are too tight your upright position in the harness is
limited and not comfortable. If they are too slack you can have trouble sitting in the
harness after take off.
Attention! Never forget to close the buckles on the leg straps!
