Fitting The Harness; Technical Informa Tion - SKY PARAGLIDERS REVERSE 5 S Benutzerhandbuch

Attach the handle to
the center loop on the
container. Slightly crease
the reserve in two and
instert into the pocket.
Thread the leafs in sequence using the line provided from
the reserve packing & maintenance kit (located in the rear
harness pocket).
Locate the pins in their
corresponding colour
coded loops and be sure to
remove the packing line!
Stretch the rubber O-ring
over the pin.
Complete the sequence
by locating the pins and
handle under the neoprene
flap and secure with the
velcro flap.
Reserve Deployment
Please note, the parachute can only be deployed with the right
hand.
When alternatively front rescue container is used, it should
hang on the main carabiners - other side than carabiner gates.

2.2 Fitting the harness

1) Lumbar Adjustment
An excessively reclined position reduces stability and increases
the risk of risers twisting in the event of a spin.
2) Shoulder Strap Adjustment
For optimum comfort during take-off and ease of achieving
your preferred flying position the shoulder straps should not
be excessively tight. The straps may appear loose while in the
seated position but some play is required to avoid excessive
strap pressure in the standing position.
3) Chest Strap Adjustment
Tightening the chest strap increases the efficiency of the Auto
Balance System (ABS, i.e. stabilising system) but decreases
the roll response of the wing. The pilot may feel more stable
in turbulent conditions and the wing will be more stable in the
event of an asymmetric collapse. However, the wing may be
less inclined to bank when turning. The design of the integrated
ABS in the REVERSE 5 means that the range of stabilisation in
the chest strap remains reasonable.

User manual / Handbuch / Manuel / Návod k obsluze
Warning: The chest strap adjustment can be quite sensitive
and it is best to test first under a static swing, and then in still air
flight, before trying to adjust it during a turbulent flight. Before
taking off, do not forget to pre-adjust your chest strap. This will
result in a more comfortable flight
2.3 Fitting the speed kit
Set Up
Route the speed bar line first through the eyelet at the front of
the side panel, then through the pulley on the side and finally
out inside of the elastic fairing.
Speed System Adjustment
The speed system should be adjusted to the correct length
using a harness simulator.
