Initial setup
5 INITIAL SETUP
The CONTOUR should initially be setup and inspected together with your
Pro Partner. Then perform the basic setup yourself while sitting in a har-
ness simulator.
Follow these steps to put on the harness:
1.
Put your arms through the shoulder straps.
2.
Guide the leg loops between your legs and close the straps on the left
and right by attaching the loops to the main carabiner. Make sure that
the left side is marked red and the right side is marked blue.
3.
Make sure that the loops are not twisted and check that 3 loops are
attached to the carabiner on each side. The openings of the main cara-
biners point against the direction of flight.
HARNESS ADJUSTMENTS
The CONTOUR offers the pilot the possibility of adjusting the leg loops
and thus the flight behavior and the flight position. The tighter the leg loop
adjuster, the more stable the harness will be. However, the yaw stability
is reduced.
Mounting the frontcontainer

6 MOUNTING THE FRONT CONTAINER
The CONTOUR does not have an integrated rescue container, but can be
equipped with a standard front container. To connect the front container
statically with the harness, the front container should be attached to the
harness at least three places.
The initial installation of the reserve chute must be carried out by an approved
compatibility technician. This verifies the deployability of the reserve chute
and certifies its compatibility on the reserve chute’s packing and inspection
document.
WE PARTICULARY RECOMMEND USE OF A 60 M/S RESERVE
CHUTE. YOU WILL FIND THIS INFORMATION ON THE HOMOLO-
GATION BADGE OF THE RESERVE CHUTE.
Due to the higher speeds of parakiting a test of the reserve chute until 40 m/s,
which is used for regular paragliding, will not be sufficient. But there are
some paragliding reserve chutes which are shock-tested for velocities of fall
until 60 m/s and apply to the higher industry standards. In order to meet
the requirements of parakiting FLARE recommends a reserve chute with a
shock-test-license of at least 60 m/s. You will find information regarding the
maximum permitted shock-speed on the homologation badge of the particu-
lar reserve chute.
It is very important that the test release of the rescue device is carried out
by the pilot himself sitting in the harness in a harness simulator, as different
physiques and forces affect its deployability. Before installation, you must first
check whether the reserve chute needs to be repacked.
IF A FRONT CONTAINER IS USED, THE CARABINER OPENINGS
MUST FACE BACKWARDS. ONLY THUS THE RESCUE V-LINE
CAN RUN UP UNDISTURBED IN THE EVENT OF AN RESCUE
RELEASE. FURTHERMORE, THE RESCUE MUST ALWAYS BE
HOOKED IN BEFORE THE PARAKITE/PARAGLIDER WILL BE
HOOKED IN.
