Take the time to set up your speed system.

1)  Make sure that the speed lines run freely 
  through the harness pulleys.
2)  Pull the speedlines through the harness  
  and connect them to the glider risers using
  the Brummel hooks   a .
3) Adjust the length of the speed lines so 
  that pushing the first and second speed  
  bar steps reach SPI position 1 (30%) and 
  position 2 (80%) respectively. 

Adjusting the speed system

You are now ready to fly.

If needed, you can also change the point at 
which the pulley action changes from 3:1 to 
2:1. When you start to push the speedbar 
the pressure is light – easy when your legs 
are bent. Then as you push more, the pres-
sure increases but the distance you need 
to push reduces, which is useful when your 
legs are more outstretched.
