The two systems have separate purposes, and are adjusted separately
3.6.1
Ground Handling Straps
The ground handling straps as shown above are best adjusted standing on the ground, with the
“FLASH 100”
on the pilot’s back.
The purpose of the shoulder straps and shoulder pads is to carry the weight of the
“FLASH 100”
while
on the ground.
The purpose of the ground handling chest strap is to keep the shoulder pads from sliding off the pilot’s
shoulders when ground handling.
The adjustment procedure for the ground handling straps is as follows:
•
Strap into the paramotor and stand up.
•
Adjust the Shoulder Straps until the shoulder pads are carrying the weight of the paramotor.
•
Attach snug the ground handling chest strap .
•
Adjust the thigh straps, the tightness of the thigh straps will determine how easily you can slide into
the seat after takeoff , allowing the width of your hand between the strap and your leg is generally a good
setting.
The ground handling straps are adjusted correctly if:
•
The weight of the paramotor is on the shoulder pads
•
The shoulder pads/straps won’t fall off the shoulders
•
The seat can be moved out from under the buttocks easily
•
You can slide easily in and out the seat
•
You can run easily and the seat and thigh straps don’t interfere with your ability to run.
