Assembly & Installing the reserve
Assembly
X-Dreamer is delivered with the back protection and speedbar already installed from the
factory. But when it is necessary to assemble the harness by yourself, MAC PARA
recommend that assembly be carried out in the order below. If there is any doubt
whatsoever about this procedure, please seek professional advice from your instructor,
dealer or MAC PARA importer.
Back Protection
When you receive separate new back protector it may be folded. Please let it lay open
for several hours before you install it in the harness. To install it, open the zipper inside
of the large dorsal pocket and slide the backprotector inside. It needs to slide into the
space underneath the seat plate and behind the back support. Do not put it underneath
the cross straps in the back of the harness. Insert upper part of the back protector into
the pocket placed on the back. Attach the velcro tapes at the bottom to each other.
Velcro tapes must be connected properly. Otherwise it may have influence for sitting
postion and comfort or bad shape of the bottom part of the harness.The protection
should be not compressed in normal use and should not hamper the space of the
rescue or move into an incorrect position.
Speed system
X-Dreamer is delivered with the speed system from the factory. 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 frontal side straps, through tube, the 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.
Rescue Installation
The X-Dreamer harness is compatible with MAC PARA rescues and other
manufacturer’s rescues. The rescue parachute must be folded in X-Dreamer`s original
deployment bag with lateral deployment handle.
Rescue parachutes should be repacked at least once every 6 months or as
recommended by the manufacturer of your reserve; so installing your rescue in a new
harness may also provide a good opportunity for a repack. Check your rescue manual
for further details.
