For the Nemo 5 we have chosen three-way
risers equipped with:
•
ELR (Easy Launch Riser) - system. It
is a specially marked A riser (with red
cover)
•
speed-system affecting A and B risers
when engaged, featuring ball-beared
pulleys and a dedicated cord.
For quick and easy recognition in
emergency, some of the risers are
distinguished with coloured covers as
follows:
•
A - red (used for launching)
•
A' – red (used for big ears),
•
B - yellow (used for B-stall),
•
D - blue (needed to keep the glider
down in strong wind – aborted
launch).
Brake handles
Brake handles are attached to the steering
lines at an optimal point, guaranteeing safe
and effective action.This point is marked on
the line with a black dot and this setting
should not be altered.
Attaching the handles above factory
markings will cause constant braking of the
paraglider, possibly cause of an accident.
Overly loose setting of the brake lines is
not advised too, since the much lower load
on the trailing edge lines can sometimes be
dangerous too.
