THANK YOU

We would like to thank you for choosing a Woody Valley product. We invi-
te you to carefully read this important document, the harness user ma-
nual and to take special account of the two most important paragraphs 
concerning:

INSERTING THE RESERVE PARACHUTE.
The reserve parachute is a life-saving piece of equipment. It must be 
inserted so that it works correctly when required whether this happens 
in two days’ time, or two years from now.
ADJUSTING THE HARNESS.
The harness is the connecting point between the pilot and the paragli-
der, and it is a necessary component for optimising flight performance 
and pleasure. A bad harness that is well adjusted may enable you to fly 
well, but a good harness that is badly adjusted may put you off flying 
altogether.

We are confident that this harness will give you great comfort, control, 
performance and enjoyment in flight. We are conscious of the fact that 
reading an instruction manual is not an exciting experience. However, 
please remember that this product is not a citrus juicer or a mobile pho-
ne, and that correct use of the harness helps reduce the risk of flying 
accidents. This manual contains all the information necessary to as-
semble, adjust, fly and store your harness. Thorough knowledge of your 
equipment will improve your personal safety and your level of flying.
