1.2- X-ALPS protection
IMPORTANT:
- X-ALPS is not fitted with back protection.
2- BEFORE USING THE HARNESS
X-ALPS must be assembled by a qualified paragliding professional, such as your instructor. More specifically, great care has to be dedicated to
inserting the reserve parachute into the harness in the correct way. Only after this has been performed should the pilot adjust the harness for
maximum comfort.
2.1- Emergency parachute
The emergency parachute container is in the ventral section. The container was designed for very light emergency parachutes, with a lower
volume than standard chutes. The parachute has to be connected to the bridle provided before inserting it into the ventral container. The
bridle splits into two straps which are fastened to the main harness karabiners. With this type of link between the emergency parachute and
the harness, the emergency parachute can be deployed from left or from right.
2.1.1- Connecting the deployment handle to the deployment bag
X-ALPS is supplied complete with the handle for parachute deployment, marked as n° 13 ; this deployment handle only should be used.
The black loop on the handle should be put through the loop attached to the deployment bag, and then the entire handle should be passed
through the handle’s loop in order to link the two. In this harness, to facilitate deployment, we recommend linking the handle to the loop
situated in the central part of the deployment bag. If your deployment bag does not have this loop, please contact your emergency parachute
retailer.
