Basic settings

1
Shoulder straps
The shoulder straps must be adjusted to suit the height of the pilot. The correct
position is when the strap is loose enough so that it does not press into the shoul-
der when the pilot is seated, but it is tight enough to support the pilot.
The length of the straps is completely adjustable. You can shorten them by pulling
on the black plastic ends; loosen them again by using the orange loops. They are
fastened using friction (see the section on Friction Buckles).
2
Back straps
The seating position can be adjusted using the back straps. Some pilots prefer a
slightly reclined position, other prefer to sit upright.
Pulling the loop will produce a more upright seating position. Opening the buckles
releases the strap and allows a more reclined position. Again, it is essential that
both straps are symmetric.
3
Leg loops
The MONTIS is fitted with fixed leg loops. There are no buckles. That means you
have to step though the leg loops with your feet. The easiest way is if you hold the
main hang points while stepping in.
4
Chest strap
The chest strap length is not adjustable. If flown at its basic setting, the harness
offers a good mix of damping and agility.
