Risers 
The glider

 

has 3 fold risers with separated A-risers, an acceleration system which will 

be activated with a foot bar. The main brake line comes through a return pulley; the 
handle of the main break line is mounted on the C- riser.  

The acceleration system is mounted on the A-  riser but it is not to be utilized  for 
ground handling.

 

Preparation for ground handling 

Note that 

 

You have a barrier-free terrain (no obstacles such as trees, groups of trees, 
pedestrians etc. nearby) 

 

The wind comes from the right direction in the right strength, 

 

the wind should be laminar (about 10 - 15 km / h) or at least not very gusty (gusts 
below 25 km / h) 

 

you have solid shoes and thin gloves (so that you can easily reach the straps and 
lines) 

 

Do not forget the helmet !! 

Prepare yourself as if you were starting forward. Then turn to the opposite direction 
of your bend direction.  
You can also attach yourself with a view to the screen. The procedure is as follows: 

When you turn right, face the 
paraglider, hold both A-  risers in the 
hand, hold them parallel to one 
another and turn them 180 degrees 
to the right.  
Then  first hang the left riser  (in the 
direction of the flight) in the left snap 
hook and then the right riser into the 
right snap hook.  
Thus, the right riser is located over 
the left.
