POSSIBLE USE_
2.1
Motorised paragliding
We recommend to NOT use the GRAVITY Xpressure in motorized flight. There is a risk of
fatal injury!
2.2
Towing winches
The GRAVITY Xpressure offers excellent starting characteristics with its high trim speed,
best conditions for towing winches. The following must be observed and revised when
towing winches/ aerotow:
•
The GRAVITY Xpressure must not be towed over 100 kp
•
Unless towing on your “house winch”, it is absolutely necessary to familiarize yourself
with the local conditions in advance. Every “guest” in a foreign/ new flight area must
be instructed by the local pilots.
•
Never tow the GRAVITY Xpressure with a load exceeding the approved weight limits
•
All persons and facilities involved in winch operation must have the required
qualifications or approvals for towing paragliders on the winch. This applies to the
pilot, winch operator, towing device, towing pawl and all other devices for which a
certificate of competence is required

It is recommended to adjust the brake handle to your personal needs after the first flight.

continuously braked. These situations would be extremely dangerous for take-off, flight and
landing!
The default setting is in extreme flight situations and when landing sufficient braking
distance available. At the same time, it enables a comfortable arm position for the trim
flight. Under no circumstances should the basic setting of the A, B and C lines be changed.
PAY ATTENTION_
Please note that the relative braking distance changes with the
height/ length of the harness. When fixing the setting, make sure that both sides are
symmetrical and that a permanent knot is used. The double fisherman’s knot/ spar or pile
