2.2 - Harness adjustments
WANÌ LIGHT 2 offers the possibility of adjusting the back inclination,
the chest width and the shoulder height in order to guarantee opti-
mum position for the pilot. Some time is required to find this optimum
position, but the time spent will be well compensated in exceptional
flying comfort.
WANÌ LIGHT 2 is supplied already adjusted to a standard ergonomic
setting, apart from adjustments required for pilot height. Therefore,
for the first flight we recommend adjusting the harness for height
alone, leaving the other settings unchanged, because they have proved
to be satisfactory for the vast majority of pilots. If you wish to change
the other settings, remember that you can always return to the fac-
tory settings by making reference to the red marks on all adjustment
straps.
Before carrying out any adjustment the reserve parachute must be
inserted.
To find the optimum position we recommend hanging with the har-
ness, simulating flight position and conditions. Therefore it is best to
place all the material which you normally take into flight with you in the
rear pocket.
CAUTION:
Each new combination of reserve parachute and harness that is as-
sembled for the first time must be inspected by an official reseller of
the harness or the reserve chute or a flight instructor to verify that it
can be effectively deployed. Checks should be carried out by hanging in
a flight simulator. Deployment of the emergency chute must be per-
fectly possible from the normal flying position.
The paraglider harness and the emergency parachute opening system
are not suitable for use in free falls and in strong shocks. Its bearing
structure has been designed, tested and certified to withstand emer-
gency parachute opening shock in accordance with the standard requi-
rements for paragliding.
This does not mean that the other parts of the harness will not beco-
me damaged due to emergency parachute opening shock. This is true
whether it occurs due to actual need in the event of an accident or if it
occurs voluntarily, for example during a safety course.
2.1.4 - Compatible reserve parachutes
The emergency parachute volume must be lower to 5 lt.
2.1.5 - Extracting the reserve parachute
It is very important to periodically feel for the position of the reserve
parachute deployment handle during normal flight, so that the action
for reaching for the reserve parachute handle becomes instinctive in
an emergency.
The deployment procedure is as follows in emergency situations:
•Look for the reserve parachute handle and grasp it firmly with one
hand. ;
•Pull the handle outwards in order to extract the reserve parachute
from the harness container. ;
•Look for a clear area and, in a continuous motion, throw the reserve
parachute away from yourself and the glider. ;
•After opening, keep the paraglider from interfering with the reserve
parachute as follows:
- If the connecting edge is turned upward, grip straps “D” or the
brakes and break down your paraglider.
- If instead the connecting edge of the glider is turned
downward, pull back strap “D” or a brake and have the glider rotate
with the connecting edge upward and then pull both brakes or straps
to help break down your paraglider.
•On landing, adopt an upright body position and ensure that you per-
form a “parachute landing fall” to minimise the risk of injury.
