INSTALLING THE CARABINERS
POSITION ADJUSTMENTS
Before the first flight, we suggest the pilot to simulate the flying position
hanging the harness on a harness tester, sitting on
SOL
Harness
and
trying to find the best position adjustment. This simulation becomes more
realistic if the back pocket is filled with objects the pilot would normally
carry during flight.
-The pilot must maintain the chest strap distance at the specified measurement
as shown in the manual, therefore the certification characteristics are not altered.
After adjusting the back, the pilot must choose the best body inclination,
respecting a central vertical line. We don't recommend a steep inclination,
so that vision and access to commands are not jeopardized.
The shoulder strap is adjustable, varying according to the pilots' height. For
better comfort, the shoulder straps support part of the dorsal weight.
The chest strap regulates the distance between the two carabiners, which
varies depending on the paraglider's size (verify through easy check measure tape).
The legs' straps adjustment is very accommodating and allows for a wide
range of heights. All
SOL
harnesses are equipped with leg locks, which works
together with the chest strap, making the connection of pilot and harness.

Flight Position
Avoid a reclined flight position, as this alters the handling of the paraglider:
your command is shortened and you are more vulnerable to a twist.
Attention:
-The leg setting should not be too tight, to avoid jeopardizing good movement.
-Make sure the setting is symmetric.
