- An adjustable compression strap to compress the inner bag and reduce
its volume.
- A repair kit with self-adhesive Ripstop tape in the same colour as the
wing and spare parts to protect the maillons.
2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
2.1 CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
We recommend unpacking and assembling the wing on a training hill or
a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. It will help
you to carry out all the recommended steps required to check and inflate
the SKIN 2 P.
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. Pay
attention to the maillons connecting the lines to the risers to make sure
they are fully closed and tightened. Identify, and if necessary untangle,
the A, B, C and D-lines, the brake lines and corresponding risers. Make
sure that there are no knots.
2.3 CONNECTING THE HARNESS
The SKIN 2 P 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 attachment points so that the risers and
lines are correctly ordered and free of twists. Check that the IKS and
carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked.
2.4 HARNESS TYPE
The SKIN 2 P can be flown with all current harness types. We
recommend the setting the chest strap to the distance specified in the
certification report - this will vary depending on size.
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, 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.
2.5 TRIMMERS
Using the trimmers:
Although the principles of trimmer operation are widely understood, it is
necessary to underline some basic safety rules.
• The trimmers are installed in the factory and the pilot only needs to
check their proper operation and adjustment.
• The trimmers should not be used to steer the wing.
• The pilot should note that when releasing trimmers, the brake handle
rises the same distance as the trimmers travel.
• The trimmers must be applied symmetrically.
• It is the responsibility of the pilot to decide how much trimmers to use
at any one time. Bear in mind that the trimmer is not the only speed
