Adjusting of bottom lateral straps - angle of seat and back support
The Manix harness is equipped with lateral 25mm straps leading from back part through
the D-rings placed under main carabineers to the rear of the seat plate. Using these
straps you can change angle of the seat plate and support your back to find your
preferred position. Adjustments are made with the narrower strap leading trough the
plastic buckles. The plastic buckles are hidden by side wall of the harness. When the
straps are tightened you will feel better stabilization and support to the hips. You can
release them by pulling down on the black plastic buckle. After preferred adjustment the
lose part of the strap can be hidden on the side.
Attention: These straps are used solely to change the angle of the seat plate. They can
not replace the function of the main straps and for this reason there is a stop point on
the lateral straps. If you prefer a more prone position then we recommend the choice of
either the XCL or Hawaii harness.
Emergency parachute assembly
The Manix harness is compatible with most available emergency parachutes. The
envelope system outer container is integrated into the harness shape. The inner
container is big enough to hold a rescue canopy up to 45 m
2
in size. The reserve bridle
is integrated into the harness, being attached to the shoulder straps and covered by a
tunnel on the right side of the harness. The rescue canopy must be inserted in the
original Manix inner container with attached handle and pins. You must not use an inner
container from other manufacturers.
Attention: Rescue canopies from other manufacturers must be refolded following
original instructions into the supplied Manix inner container without their originally
provided container.
Possibilities of emergency parachute connections
1.
The lines of the rescue canopy are directly connected (slipped onto) the integrated
connection bridle.
2.
A rescue canopy with a short bridle can be attached directly to the integrated
connection bridle. Alternatively connection can be made with a carabineer with a
minimum strength of 2000 kg. (See pictures below).
