Front and Side views of ground handling straps and the flight straps
The two systems have separate purposes, and are adjusted separately
Ground Handling Straps
The ground handling straps as shown above are best adjusted standing on the ground, with the
GOLD
95/115/130
on the pilot’s back
The purpose of the shoulder straps and shoulder pads is to carry the weight of the
GOLD 95/115/130
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 easily slide into the seat after takeoff
You can run easily and the seat and thigh straps don’t interfere with your ability to run
