Winch towing
The CULT XC is very well suited for winch towing. The towing handle is fixed either to
the lower part of the paraglider risers, or to the carabines/main suspension of the har-
ness. Follow the instructions in the manual of your winch towing handle, or ask advice
from an instructor with experience in winch towing.
tandem flying
The CULT XC is not recommended as a Harness for tandem pilots, because the Rescue
Container does not have enough space for a tandem rescue system.
flying over water
During safety training and whilst flying over water, it should be noted that the back pro-
tector is a floating body, that, in case of a water landing, will force the pilot belly-down,
and therefore push his head under water. There is an increased risk of drowning. Either
remove the protector or fly with a swimming vest.
Maintenance and care
The materials used in the construction of the CULT XC guarantee maximal durability.
Still, it will benefit you in the end if you make every effort to keep your harness clean in
order to ensure its airworthiness.
Avoid dragging your harness over rocky ground. Try to land standing. Do not leave your
harness sitting unnecessarily in the sun. UV rays are very damaging to the material. Al-
low your harness to dry if it has gotten wet.
Store it in the paraglider backpack, when not in use. Store your glider equipment loose-
ly in a cool and dry place. Always let moist equipment dry out before storing again. In
order to clean, use only water and a soft brush or cloth. Use only mild soap, if absolu-
tely necessary.
Before cleaning, take out the Protectors, Rescue and Seat.
If your rescue has become wet (for ex. by a water landing), you must open it, allow to
dry and pack new.
