Adjusting your speed system
The majority of the latest harnesses have pulleys for assembling the Foot
Speed System. In the eventuality the pulleys are not there, it is important
to attach such pulleys (sewing them) in such way to make the operation
of the speed system softer.
The little chord on the speed system must be firmly attached (by a
non-slippery knot) to the stirrup (aluminum bar). The other end of the
cable is fed through the harness' pulleys and comes out vertically, and
firmly attached to a Quick Link with a strong coil, a sister clip or
preferably closed by a nut.
In order to adjust the Speed System, we suggest that you connect the
harness and the risers together, suspended from the ground. Ask a friend
to pull the risers 'A' upwards. At this time, adjust the length right to the
bar in such way to be easily reachable with your feet in flight and by
stretching the legs, make sure to allow for a clear path to maximize the
accelerator usage.
Operation:
Usage:
The pilot activates the speed system by pushing the stirrup forward. The
pulleys on the risers reduce to 2/3 the necessary energy and the risers at
the front are shortened.
Before takeoff, the Quick Hook-Up (sister clip)or the Quick Link must be
connected at the ring on the speed system risers. It is important to note
that the little chord must run free of snags. The rubbing with the risers may
cause damage.
-An incorrect system assembly, that allows for different measurements
other than the indicated above nullifies the certification!
-Never use the speed system in extreme maneuvers.
-In the event the canopy collapses, release the stirrup immediately and
make the appropriate corrections.
-Never let go of the toggles!
-Remember that when using the speed system, the angle of attack
decreases which may result in the collapse of the paraglider,
consequently, the use of the speed system close to the ground should
be avoided. We do not recommend the use of the speed system in

BACKPACK
Your backpack was designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Its
format allows for good content distribution. Shoulder straps and back
support are padded so that comfort is not compromised during walks. For
larger equipment capacity, your backpack has an expandable compartment,
which can easily be enlarged without sacrificing the layout. Two different
pocket sizes at the front allow` for easy storage of small articles.

HARNESS
Any harness of type ABS are recommended for the
SYNERGY 4,
tested with
large clips set at 41 cm and 46 cm heights from the board, depending on the
harness size. Care must be taken because the large clips height affects the
brake position when set at 'normal'.
