important part in the use, transport and storage of the paraglider:
- The new large capacity Kargo rucksack 220L, ideal for packing also one
competition harness (such as the Drifter). Capacity and comfort all in
one.
- The N-Kare bag which makes easy the glider folding process. Moreover,
it protects the wing when packing and carrying. An adjustable strap for
quick and easy compression to fold the wing as small as possible
- A small fabric repair including auto adhesive rips top (same colours of
the wing) and replacement maillon blockers.

2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
2.1 CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE
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 ICEPEAK 7 PRO-MODEL.
We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervises 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 and B risers, the brake lines and the corresponding risers.
Make sure that there are no ties or knots.
2.3 ASSEMBLY OF THE HARNES
Correctly place the risers on the harness karabiners. The risers and lines
should not have any twists and they should be in the right order. Check
that the harness buckles are correctly locked.
2.4 TYPE OF HARNES
The ICEPEAK 7 PRO-MODEL has been certified on EN D with a harness
according to the following rules:
• 2. DV LuftGerPV §1, Nr. 7 c (LTF)
• European Standard EN1651
• European Standard EN12491
This certification allows it to be flown with most of the harnesses on the
market, even the ones that use cocoon. We strongly recommend that you
adjust the distance of the chest strap according the values used during
certification. This varies according to the size of the chosen harness.
Small = 44 cm
Medium = 45 cm
Large = 46 cm
Incorrect adjustment can seriously affect the piloting of the glider. A
distance, which is too wide between the karabiners, may provide more
feedback but could affect the overall stability of the glider. A distance,
which is too narrow between the karabiners, would provide less feedback
but also increase any risk of developing a twist in during a large collapse.
Any change made to these specifications may affect the wing’s
