Pre-flight check
It is essential that you thoroughly check all
equipment before launch!
Always check the following as part of the
pre-flight check:
Are there any tears, areas of wear or
other damage to the harness or airbag?
Are there any bends in the vent
reinforcement?
Are the harness and the speed system
correctly adjusted?
Is the reserve system in order or does it
need to be inspected/repacked?
Are the pockets all done up?
Are the reserve deployment handle and
pins in the correct position?
Are both carabiners properly closed /
secured?
Was there a clearly audible 'click' when
you did up the buckles and do they stay
closed if you pull on them? Be
particularly careful if there is snow or ice:
always keep buckles free of snow and
ice!
Has the zip on the backpack been done
up completely?
Are the vents between the airbag and the
rear compartment clear?
Are the side compression straps in the
backpack loosened off?
Are the speed system lines attached to
the glider and is the speed system
attached to the harness?
Did you check the airbag again after you
put on the harness?
Towing
The Connect Reverse Evo is also suitable
for towing. The appropriate towing devices
are available from specialist stores. They are
attached to the main carabiners.
Swing also recommends using a towing aid,
which is attached between the towing device
and the harness. The Swing range includes
the “Pro-Tow” tow aid which can be used for
this purpose.
Tandem flights
The Connect Reverse Evo is not intended for
use in tandem flights.
