SPEED SYSTEM
Route the speed system line through both pulleys on each side. The first
pulley is located inside the pod at the rear of the seat plate. The second
is close to the lumber support attachment. Ensure the lines run cleanly
between the pulleys and pass on the outside of all structural webbing
straps. Double-check the lines have not inadvertently wrapped around the
structural webbing. Feed the line through the hole on the side of the pod. (3)
IMPORTANT:
The speed bar lines must be of equal length, ensure they are not too short as this will inadvertently
activate the speed system when under tension in the air. Always double-check lengths and symmetry whilst
on the ground before flying.
Once in the air, and when it is safe to do so, check that you can place your foot on the bar easily and that the system operates smoothly all
the way to full speed without excessive friction. The 3 step system is fully adjustable, each stage can be set to preference.
The Exoceat features integral reserve containers for two parachutes. The innovative system uses bomb doors that fully open once the pin
is removed, so even in high G situations the parachutes can be deployed freely with either hand. The bomb door containers have large
volumes, enough to fit all types of modern parachutes.
The parachute(s) need to be installed precisely using a new and innovative method, so please refer carefully to the instructional video for
clear visual instructions. When delivered both parachute containers are closed correctly. Take note of the overall look and pay attention
to the trellis thread pattern and where the reserve handle bridle emerges from the bomb door.
Attach the bridles to the appropriate attachment points with a suitable connector (not sup-
plied). The attachment points are located on the shoulder straps under the Velcro flaps. The
bridles should then be routed along the protective Velcro channel.
Make sure the harness bridles are attached to the parachute’s
bridle using a suitable connector (not supplied).
Attach the deployment handle to the deployment
bag of your reserve parachute using a Lark’s foot
or small connecter.
Place the deployment bag into the bomb door
container, the reserve handle should be facing
towards the front of the bomb door.
