We recommend the whole installation procedure is supervised by a
qualified professional instructor or official dealer. Only they can address
any doubts in a safe and professional way.
2.2 PROCEDURE
Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open and unfold it on the ground
with the lines positioned on the undersurface, oriented in the direction
of inflation. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines for defects.
Check the maillons/IKS connecting the lines to the risers to make sure
they are fully closed and tightened. Identify, and if necessary untangle,
the A and B, the brake lines and corresponding risers. Make sure that
there are no knots.
2.3 CONNECTING THE HARNESS
The PEAK 5 risers are colour-coded.
- Right: green
- Left: red
This colour-coding makes it easier to connect the wing to the correct
side and helps prevent pre-flight errors.
Correctly connect the risers to the attachment points so that the risers
and lines are correctly ordered and free of twists. Check that the IKS or
carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked.
PLEASE NOTE!
The PEAK 5 features risers of different lengths.
Size 21 uses risers of unequal lengths. In all other models the risers are
equal length and interchangeable - but NOT on the size 21.
2.4 TYPE OF HARNESS
The PEAK 5 can be flown with all current harness types, provided they can
be adjusted to the settings stipulated in the certification.
Please note that these proscribed settings vary for each size and within
each size if flown at the upper or lower end of the weight-range.
Distance between the risers:
Size 21 - 40/44 cm
Size 22 - 44/44 cm
Size 26 - 44/48 cm
Size 26 - 46/48 cm
Distance between the harness/risers:
Size 21 - 44/44 cm
Size 22 - 44/44 cm
Size 24 - 44/43 cm
Size 26 - 44/44 cm
Care should be taken with the chest strap setting, as the distance of the
chest strap setting will affect the handling of the glider. If the chest strap is
too wide, it allows greater feedback but this carries the risk of affecting the
stability of the wing.
If the chest strap is set too tightly, the wing feels more solid, but there is a
loss of feedback and a risk of twisting in the case of a violent asymmetric
collapse.
