We recommend that you unpack and assemble your wing on a schooling 
slope or a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. 
These conditions will allow you to carry out all the steps required for you 
to check and inflate the DOBERMANN.

We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervise the entire 
procedure, as only they are competent to resolve any doubt in a safe and 
professional way.

2.2 PROCEDURE

Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open it and spread it open with 
the lines on top of the underside, position the wing as if you were to 
inflate it.
Check the condition of the fabric and the lines, making sure there are no 
abnormalities. 

Check the maillons, which attach the lines to the risers are properly 
closed. Identify and if necessary disentangle the lines from A, B, C and D 
risers, the brake lines and the corresponding risers. Make sure that there 
are no ties or knots.

2.3 ASSEMBLY TO THE ENGINE

After carefully laying out the wing connect the risers to the harness/
engine according to the paramotor manufacturer instructions. 

2.4 ASSEMBLY OF THE ACCELERATOR

The acceleration mechanism of the DOBERMANN works when you 
push with your feet on the accelerator bar. Most harnesses designed for 
powered flight are equipped with a preinstalled acceleration system. When 
fitting any accelerator system ensure that all preinstalled items within the 
harness, such as roller pulleys are used correctly. After fitting, take into 
account that you will have to adjust the length of the accelerator lines for 

correct use. This will vary according to the length of the pilots’ legs!

We recommend that you try the correct fitting of the acceleration system 
on equipment designed to do this, most paragliding schools have this sort 
of equipment. 

Warning:

 It is really important to securely fasten and keep the accelerator 

away from the propeller.

2.4.1 ACCELERATION SYSTEM USE

To accelerate, the pilot’s legs must be extended to push on the 
accelerator bar. To decelerated, the pilot ‘s legs must be relaxed to return 
to the initial neutral position. 

Pilots are fully responsible for their own action when taking the decision 
to accelerate in flight. The acceleration system does not uniformly 
increase or decrease the glider.’s air speed. The following information 
has to be taken in consideration:n order to accelerate, the pilot should 
extend his/her legs while having the feet resting on the acceleration bar. 
In order to decelerated, the pilot should flex his/her legs to reach the 
initial position. 

Pilots are ultimately responsible for the acceleration method chosen 
while flying.  The speed bar is not the only way to increase or decrease 
the speed of the glider. The following information has to be taken in 
consideration:
