Excessive tightening the chest strap increases stability but also the risk of twists
following glider collapse, and it also increases the frequency of getting collapses
due to poor feedback from the glider. Lengthening of the chest strap gives more
feedback from the glider but decreases stability.
ICARO paragliders recommends following settings:
Take off weight < 80kg 80 kg -100 kg > 100kg
Horizontal distance of
the main karabiners
37 cm
– 42 cm
42 cm
– 46 cm
46 cm
– 51 cm
In flight, this setting can be opened gradually until you find your own optimal
setting.
Each setting the harness must be done with rescue
system and be symmetrical on both sides!
Stabilicer
This small but important adjustment makes it possible to stabilize the harness
when you exert pressure on the speed-bar, preventing excessive tilt of the back.
Its mode of operation is very simple: when you push the speed- bar, this small
plastic buckle blocks the shoulder -straps at the point at which they slide in the
chest strap, making the entire strap system more rigid and improving overall
harness stability.
Rubber for repositioning the speed bar
The XEMA 2 is equipped with a rubber to adjust the speed bar. With a simple knot
on the speed bar, the right position for each type of use can be made.
Fitting the Rescue system
The housing for the reserve parachute is below the seat in the front part of the
harness.
The black loop attached to the handle itself should be passed into the loop on the
deployment bag, and then the entire handle should be passed through its own
loop and pulled tight. For easier extraction, the loop attached to the deployment
bag should be positioned laterally with respect to the centre of the reserve
parachute.
XEMA 2 is supplied with a handle for reserve parachute extraction. It is
identified with the number 6; this handle alone should be used for this
