 - Brake toggles

 

In  case  you  switch  do  another  power  unit  it  might  be  that  you  have  to  readjust  the 
lengths of the brake lines. This adjustment can easy be made on the riser, in the figure 
number 5 is the original adjustment which works with most of the power units on the 
market. Number 9 readjusts the toggles by 10 cm. 
 

 

 

Attention 

•

 

In  case  of  readjustment  of  the  pulley  position  from  5  to  9  don´t  forget  to 
readjust the brake line on the toggle by 10 cm. 

•

 

Confirm that both sides are symmetric. 

•

 

Make  the  necessary  readjustments  and  fill  the  glider  on  the  ground  to  make 
sure that the brakes are working fine before flying with your power glider.
