The Harness - Nova Mentor Betriebshandbuch

40
How does it work?
The speed system utilizes a 3 to 1 pulley mechanism which results in shorten-
ing the A- and B-risers as described above.
How to use it?
Before launch, attach the paraglider's risers to the harness with the main
carabiners. Then attach the "Brummel-hook" on the end of each speed system
cord to the Brummel hook on the end of the cord which runs through the 2
pulleys on the A risers.
Ensure that the speed system is untangled and operates freely before flying!

The Harness:

Any certified harness with a hang point at about chest height may be used with
a NOVA MENTOR (37-50cm over seat plate).
The distance between left and right main carabiner should be between 45 and
60cm, depending on the size of the pilot and the type of the harness.
Please note: the hang point position changes the position of the brakes relative
to the pilots body. The MENTOR was not tested with harnesses with an
effective cross strap system.
As known, harnesses with a low suspension and a big horizontal distance
between the suspension points are offering the pilot a better feedback from the
canopy. Our test pilots tested the MENTOR even with a high and narrow
mountaineer light harness, to be sure, that the wing is still handling properly.
But to use the whole potential of the wing, we're recommending an agile
harness.
CAUTION! CROSS STRAPS THAT ARE ADJUSTED TOO TIGHTLY CAN
DRASTICALLY EFFECT YOUR GLIDERS HANDLING, AND THUS MAY NOT
CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER ACTIVE SAFETY! HAVE THEM TIGHTENED THE
CORRECT AMOUNT.
