Congratulations on buying your
APUS
harness and welcome the family
of
ICARO
- pilots!
Before you get to know your system please read the
manual, there is important information inside.
Our products are made with great care and state of the art. Each harness before it
is delivered to the dealer or flight school is checked by ICARO paragliders but test
flights are made only on a random basis.
On that score an approved ICARO dealer or teacher of the flight school must
check a new ICARO harness especially when mounting a rescue system
(compatibility check). This date is entered in the identification plate and as well
guarantee as the first 2-year-check period starts. If this seal is missing, it must be
assumed that this harness is not identical in construction with the model tested at
the specification center.
Your harness is tested according European Standards EN 1651:1999

, and
Notification of the Federal Aviation Administration of Germany

as a lightweight
harness
but only with mounted airbag- protector!
It is strictly prohibited to fly the harness
•
with damaged carbines, belts, buckles or protector,
•
outside the specified weight range, and
•
in aerobatics, tandem- or motorized flying.
In order to get to know your harness together with your glider, we recommend
ground handling. Here you can find out the reactions of your glider in combination
with the harness without any stress. Ground practice pays off in the air.
This manual gives you information on the entire specific and general
characteristics of the harness.
Should you decide to sell this harness at a later date, please pass on this manual
to the new owner.
No guarantee of any kind can be made against accidents, injury, equipment
failure, and/or death. It is assumed that the pilot is in possession of the necessary
qualifications and provisions of any relevant laws are observed.
The use of this harness is entirely at your own risk.
