The suspension lines are comprised of “cascaded top lines” (attached to the under-
surface) and “main lines”. Main lines lead to the “quick link” (a Maillon which connects
lines and risers). The “stabilizer lines” connect the upper stabilizer lines on the outer
suspension points with the quick link. The”brake lines” are not load carrying suspension
lines. They lead from the trailing edge of the canopy to the main brake lines and run
through the pulleys on the D-risers to the brake handles. A mark on the main brake line
indicates the position of the brake handle. This adjustment, on the one hand, allows
sufficient brake to be applied during extreme flying situations and when landing, while
on the other hand, this ensures that brakes are not permanently applied to the canopy
(especially when fully accelerated). This trimming should not be altered. For
differentiation purposes the A-lines are coloured red, the brake lines are orange, all
remaining lines are yellow. Also the main suspension loop, on the bottom of the riser, is
covered red. This is where the main karabiner should be hooked in, which then in turn
connects the risers to the harness.
The Muse 3 is equipped with 5 risers per side (A, A1, B, C, D). The two central A-lines
per side are attached to the main A-risers while outermost A main lines are attached to
A1 risers. The 3 B-main lines and the stabilizer lines are attached to the B-riser. The 3
C-main lines to the C-riser. The 3 D-main lines to the D-riser. The main brake lines
leads through the pulleys on the D riser.
The line connections are made to triangular Maillons (quick links) fitted with a rubber
”o- ring” in the form of a ”figure eight” which prevents any slipping of the lines on the
quick link.

Speed system:
The Muse 3 is equipped with a stirrup operated speed-system, which returns
automatically to normal position when the stirrup is released. The serial risers of the
Muse 3 do not have a lockable trimmer.
The speed system affects the A-, A1-, B- and C-risers and changes the angle of attack.
In normal flight all risers have an overall length of 50 cm without quick links. When the
stirrup is pushed out the A-risers are shortened by up to a maximum of 16 cm, the A1-
risers are shortened by up to a max of 16 cm, the B-risers by up to a max. of 14 cm, the
C-risers by up to a max. of 7 cm, the D-risers retain their original length. These
measurements influence the certification! An incorrectly fitted speed system causes loss
of certification!
