2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
2.1 CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE
We recommend that you unpack and assemble your wing on a schooling
slope or a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles.
These conditions will allow you to carry out all the steps required for you
to check and inflate the KOUGAR 2.
We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervise the entire
procedure, as only they are competent to resolve any doubt in a safe and
professional way.
2.2 PROCEDURE
Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open it and spread it open with
the lines on top of the underside, position the wing as if you were to
inflate it.
Check the condition of the fabric and the lines, making sure there are no
abnormalities.
Check the maillons, which attach the lines to the risers are properly
closed. Identify and if necessary disentangle the lines from A, B, C and D
risers, the brake lines and the corresponding risers. Make sure that there
are no ties or knots.
2.3 ASSEMBLY TO THE ENGINE
After carefully laying out the wing connect the risers to the harness/
engine according to the paramotor manufacturer instructions
2.4 ASSEMBLY OF THE ACCELERATOR
The acceleration mechanism of the KOUGAR 2 works when you push with
your feet on the accelerator bar. Most harnesses designed for powered
flight are equipped with a preinstalled acceleration system. When fitting
any accelerator system ensure that all preinstalled items within the harness,
such as roller pulleys are used correctly. After fitting, take into account that
you will have to adjust the length of the accelerator lines for correct use.
This will vary according to the length of the pilots’ legs!
We recommend that you try the correct fitting of the acceleration system
on equipment designed to do this, most paragliding schools have this sort
of equipment.
Warning: It is really important to securely fasten and keep the accelerator
away from the propeller.
2.5 ACCELERATION SYSTEM USE
To accelerate, the pilot’s legs must be extended to push on the accelerator
bar. To decelerated, the pilot ‘s legs must be relaxed to return to the initial
neutral position.
Pilots are fully responsible for their own action when taking the decision to
accelerate in flight. The acceleration system does not uniformly increase
or decrease the glider.’s air speed. The following information has to be
taken in consideration:n order to accelerate, the pilot should extend his/
her legs while having the feet resting on the acceleration bar. In order to
decelerated, the pilot should flex his/her legs to reach the initial position.
Pilots are ultimately responsible for the acceleration method chosen while
flying. The speed bar is not the only way to increase or decrease the speed
of the glider. The following information has to be taken in consideration:
