Speed System

Speed System Adjustment
The speed system should be adjusted
to the correct length using a harness simulator.
BEWARE!
The accelerator line must not run through
the reserve handle. The line must „run inside"
on the reserve side. To accomplish this
the SKYLIGHTER has a special passage built
into that side.

Pre-flight checks
BEWARE!
PARAGLIDING IS AN EXTREMELY
DEMANDING SPORT REQUIRING
THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ATTENTION,
JUDGMENT, MATURITY, AND SELF-
DISCIPLINE. EVEN SMALL DETAILS
SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CHECKED
BEFORE FLYING.
 Check the carabiners, and make sure
that the twist lock system closes them
automatically.
 Check the harness buckles; they should lock
automatically.
 Adjust the harness using a harness
hanger or simulator. When adjusting
under the simulator you should familiarise
yourself with the harness and its parts. Test
all adjustments, familiarise yourself with
the position and use of the reserve handle.
 Check that the reserve handle and the pins are
in the correct position.
Further Pre-flight Checks:
 Ensure that there are no twists in the lines and
risers that connect the harness to the glider.
 Check chest, side and shoulder strap
adjustments.
 Ensure that all buckles are locked.
 Check your reserve handle.
