purpose. If your deployment bag does not have this loop, please contact the
retailer from whom you purchased the reserve parachute.
Attachment of the connection belt with the harness
First method (not steerable system):
For connecting the two belts use a fixable 24 KN- snap
hook. It is especially important that the snap hook
cannot twist to prevent traverse stress of the snap
hook.
Therefore, use cable fixer, adhesive tape or strong
rubber bands and pull it
above and below the snap
hook around the belts.
Second fixing method (not steerable system):
Put the belt of the rescue system through the connection belt of the harness and
than the rescue system trough the harness belt as shown in the photo.
It is just as especially important that the knot is very tight fastened.
Therefore, use cable fixer, adhesive tape or strong rubber bands and pull it above
and below the knot around the belts.
Please pay attention to the symmetry of both lines. Neither side of the loop
must be longer than the other.
Third system (for steerable and not steerable systems with double
connection point):
If you are using a reserve parachute with directional control and dual bridle, or if
your reserve parachute has a double -riser bridle, it can be connected to the
harness using the two loops positioned at the base of the harness bridle near the
padded shoulder straps.
In this case, th
e harness’s reserve parachute bridle will not be used, and so it
should be folded, fastened using two elastic bands, and positioned under the
cover behind the pilot’s neck.
The two connections should be made using screw -lock karabiners with a breaking
strength of at least 1,400 kg.
In any case, it is important to verify that the length of the bridle is sufficient to
position the reserve parachute inside the harness pocket, and that there is
sufficient play to enable the parachute to be taken out of the pocket without
causing the reserve parachute deployment bag itself to open during extraction.
To prevent anomalous lateral loads, the bridle should be attached to both
the loops on the shoulder straps. Not to just one of them.
The XEMA 2 can vary the volume of the parachute container ( from 4,5 liter to
5,5 liter) to adapt to the size of the various reserve parachutes on the market. This
