SkyLine Racer Handbuch Seite 28

6. brief introduction/quick adjusting:
open all buckles/trimmers
fit harness (fasten leg loops and chest belt)
sit into RACER in simulator
put legs into foot rest and stretch legs
adjust foot rest (20) that your entire back fits perfectely to harness
backpart
adjust side "free-sliding" belt (19) and shoulder belt (17) that you can gain
the correct flying position for thermaling and speedflying (pull:more
upright/drop:more supine)
take favored position at full speed flying
fix and limit this position by adjusting side chestbelt (18)
explanation: the harness is conceived like this, that its easy to change from
upright position to supine position at "speeding"! In the upright position the "free-
sliding" belts (2 and 9) cause very sensitive steering by weightshifting and you
receive a fast feedback from the canopy. In this position you can easily centering,
re-centering, turn flater or steeper in the thermals.
While accelerating in supine position, the limitations of the harness system (side
chest belt (9), limitation shoulder belt (23)) build a "rigid" bonding between side
chest belt, shoulder belt, chest belt, suspension. This effects that the canopy is
flying more stable and that the pilot will not be shaken by turbulences.
B) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adjustment possibilities
The free-sliding shoulder belts of the harness SKYLINE Racer can be adjusted with
the shoulder belt buckles optimally to the size of the pilot and to its desired seating
position. In addition, further adjustment possibilities existing at the chest belt, the side
chest belt as well as at the leg loops.
2. Individual setting
The basic adjustment of the harness is accomplished at the simulator. You have to
ensure that the setting with packed back bag and packed rescue system is mounted.
You have to adjust the shoulder belt buckles (17), the side chest belts (18), the
side "free-sliding" belts and the leg loops.
Criteria are the respective body size, the preferential seating position and the
individual flight habits of the pilot, and/or also the different paraglider types and
also meteorological conditions.
Note: The more stretched the pilot is lying in the harness, the more sluggish is he moving regarding to the
canopy. In extreme cases this can strengthen the danger of pivoting the lines. Also a too tight setting of the
chest belt can have this effect (see "adjusting the chest belt").
