Accelerator System; Basic Flight Techniques; Take-Off Checklist - Ozone Enzo2 Bedienungsanleitung

IMPORTANT: You must fly within the certified weight range.
Not doing so invalidates certification.
Harness
It is worthwhile checking the adjustment straps of your harness to
double check for symmetry.
The chest strap should be set between 42cm and 48cm (between
the hang points) to your taste.

Accelerator System

To set up the accelerator on the ground, ask a friend to pull your
risers into their in-flight position while you sit in your harness. Now
adjust the length of the line so that the main bar sits just beneath
your seat.
The accelerator must be slack enough to ensure that the speed
system is not engaged in normal flight, but not so long that it is
impossible to use the full speed range of the glider.
Once set up, test the full range of the accelerator in calm flying con-
ditions: ensure that both risers are pulled evenly during operation.
Fine-tuning can be completed when you are back on the ground.

BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES

To familiarise yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform
practice inflations and small flights in smooth conditions. This will en-
able you to set up your equipment correctly.
Preparation
Lay out the wing on its top surface in a pronounced arc, with the
centre of the wing higher than the tips. Lay out the lines one side at
a time. Hold up the risers and starting with the brake lines, pull all
lines clear. Repeat with the stabilo, B and A lines, laying the checked
lines on top of the previous set, and making sure no lines are tangled,
knotted or snagged. Pay particular attention to the upper rear (C)
lines as they do not come under tension when the B lines are pulled
from the riser. You should ensure that the C lines are free from
tangles and knots by checking them individually. Mirror the process
on the other side.

Take-off checklist:

1. Check reserve parachute - pin in and handle secure
2. Helmet on and fastened
3. All harness buckles closed - check leg-loops again
4. Karabiners and maillons tight
5. Holding the A's and your brake handles
6. Leading edge open
7. Aligned directly into wind
8. Airspace and visibility clear
Launching
Your Enzo 2 will launch with either the forward or reverse techniques.
NOTE: The glider rises overhead quickly so be prepared to
modify your technique, especially if your last wing was slow
in this respect.
Forward Launch - Nil to Light winds
When the wind is favourable, move forward positively: your lines
should become tight within one or two steps. The Enzo 2 will immedi-
ately start to inflate. You should maintain a constant pressure on the
risers until the wing is overhead.
Do not pull down or push the risers forward excessively as this
may cause the leading edge to deform and possibly collapse, making
taking-off more difficult and potentially dangerous. Move smoothly
throughout the entire launch, there is no need to rush or snatch at
it. You should have plenty of time to look up and check your canopy
before committing yourself.
Once you are happy that the Enzo 2 is inflated correctly, accelerate
smoothly off the launch.
