
Even with the best and safest equipment, a wrong decision can lead to serious injury.
It is the pilot's obligation to avoid such misjudgements by progressing through
structured theoretical and practical training.

It is the pilots' obligation to use suitable protective gear and to maintain the
airworthiness of their equipment.
By following these basic principles we wish all pilots a successful, safe and enjoyable flying
career.
Recommended weight range
The EAZY must only be flown within the certified weight range as stated in the technical data
under section 3. The take-off weight includes pilot plus clothing, glider, harness, equipment
etc.
The EAZY reacts to a variation in loading with a slight reduction or increase of trim-speed. The
performance remains more or less the same.
5.

Harness

The EAZY is type-tested for use with all modern harnesses – rated as GH.
6.

Towing / winching

The EAZY is suitable for towing/winching. The use of a suitable tow-adapter is not obligatory
but is helpful and gives more confidence during towing.
Hint!
Towing is only recommended if:

The pilot has received towing instruction

The winch and release-links are suitable for towing paragliders

The winch operator is experienced and qualified for towing paragliders
Attention: Danger of accident!
The most common reason for accidents during towing is when the pilot releases the A-riser too
early during take-off. The pilot should make sure that the glider is completely overhead when
giving the command for start.

A careful pre-flight check is recommended before every flight.
The lines, risers, maillons and canopy should be checked for damage. Do not take off if there is
the smallest amount of visible damage.
Ensure that the main Karabiners between harness and risers are undamaged and are closed.
The harness must be put on with greatest care and all straps secured correctly.
Check the correct position of the reserve (rescue) handle and make sure the pins of the reserve
