5- CHARACTERISTICS AND INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
5.1- Installation and adjustment of the speed system
After having adjusted the sitting position to the optimum configuration,
the accelerator must be adjusted. This harness is compatible with all nor-
mal types of speed-system accelerators.
The elastic in front of the board that retains the speed-bar keeps the han-
dle of your reserve parachute from becoming tangled in the event it is
deployed. The pedal cords should be passed first through the rings fixed
to the elastic in front of the board, then in the harness through the eyelets
near the front corners of the seat, then through the sheaves located near
the rear corners of the seat and finally through the small side rings moun
-
ted on elastic tape. This last step prevents the cord from ending up in the
harness when it is unhooked from the shoulder-straps of the paraglider.
o adjust the system correctly, the pilot has to adopt a flying position in the
harness, suspended from a flight simulator, and hook into the risers of
the paraglider. Another person then helps by supporting the risers, so the
pilot can adjust the length of the speed-system cords. When no pressure
is exerted on the speed bar, the bar must be at a distance no greater than
10 cm below the front of the harness. If the speed-bar cord is too short, it
could cause a constant force on the bar during flight, so that the accelera
-
tor is unintentionally engaged at all times in flight. It is safest to take off
with the speed-bar a little too long, progressively shortening it during the
next flights.
Remember that all adjustments have to be performed symmetrically, on
both sides.
