FreeX FRAME Betriebsanleitung Seite 68

The speed system of the FRAME consists of two parts: The
transmission system of the risers which distributes the action to
the separate line-groups, and the pulley system on the A-riser
which gives a 3:1 reduction and allows the full 17cm (Size M 13
cm) of travel on the A-riser of the FRAME to be used without
excessive effort.
Connecting the footbar to the speed-system are C -clips on the
accelerator cord and on the riser. These are simply twisted
together before takeoff with a 90-degree movement.
By profile-specific shortenings of the A-B and C-risers, the
FRAME is accelerated very effectively by about 12 km/h without
decisively sacrificing stability.
The cord from the foot-bar runs as usual through one or several
pulley-rollers on the harness to the front and must be connected
with appropriate length to the included foot bar.
The FRAME was designed for use with any licensed harness,
like the FreeX Carrera. Extremely stiffened cross-strap-harnesses
with very high suspension may, however, adversely affect t h e
handling of the FRAME and its behaviour during spiral dive (see
chapter Fast descents!).
The FRAME is authorised for use with most modern paragliding
harnesses. As optimal configuration, we recommend the use of a
harness with medium to low hang-points in order to make full use
of weight shift when turning, which the FRAME reacts to very
easily. For the maximum in passive safety, freeX recommend the
use of a harness with back-protection and an under-seat-
mounted reserve container. The freeX Carrera is a modern
harness with DHV-approval and is ideally suited for use with the
freeX FRAME. Contact your freeX dealer for more information.
Please remember that the suspension level of your harness
transmits into the adjustments of the control/brake line lengths
