Compatibility test
In Germany, it has been a requirement since
1 January 1998 that every new combination
of reserve and harness/outer container must
be inspected after the first packing to ensure
that it operates safely. It must be possible for
the pilot to deploy the reserve from the flying
position without any problem and according
to the guidelines in the manufacturer's
instructions. The inspection must be
recorded in the reserve's packing certificate
(compatibility test).
We recommend that the compatibility test is
carried out by the manufacturer.
As part of the pre-flight check, you must
check before every flight whether the
container is closed properly.
⚠
DANGER
If a newly packed chute is integrated in a
harness outer container, a deployment
check must be carried out, checking whether
the deployment force is between 6 and
10kg.

the reserve system can be

Adjustment options
The Connect Reverse Evo has various
adjustment options so that pilots can adjust
the harness according to their particular
wishes and preferences. Pilots should take
their time in doing this because it will provide
a high level of comfort!
We recommend that you hang the harness in
a simulator (or frame etc) when making the
adjustments.
TIP
The recommended standard adjustments
are indicated by red stitching on the straps.
This makes it easy to return to the factory
settings at any time.
PLEASE NOTE
The reserve must be fitted before the
Connect Reverse Evo is adjusted.
Adjusting the seating position
Angle of back section
The first adjustment is to the seating position
and size of the harness. The seating position
is adjusted by the opening angle of the
harness. Decide the angle at which you want
to sit (angle between back and thigh - upright
or inclined position). The angle of adjustment
ranges from approx. 70° to 100°. The
adjustment is made using the side buckles
(Fig. 13), which you will find at about chest
height. If the harness is shortened here, the
seating angle will be smaller (upright
position); if it is lengthened the seating angle
increases (inclined position).
