Connecting the glider

Opening the wing
Choose a flat or lightly angled training hill without obstacles or wind. Open your wing and arrange it in a
crescent shape. Check the fabric and the lines for any sign of wear or damage.
Check for the links connecting the lines to the risers to be fully closed.
Identify, separate and arrange the A,B.C, risers as well as the brake lines neatly. Knots or tangles can
not be present.
Choosing an adapted harness
The EIKO 2 wing has been EN A, B or C approved depending on the size, with a harness that meets
EN1651 and LTF standards. Meaning that it can be flown with most harnesses models found on the
market today. We wil advise you to choose a EN1651 and or LTF certified harness with a built-in dorsal
protection system.
Connecting the wing to the harness
Without twisting the risers, connect them to the harness connection loops using the self-locking cara-
biners. Check for the risers to be properly positioned and untwisted. The "A" risers must be located at
the front and facing the flight direction( see schematic ). Lastly, check for the main self-locking carabi-
ners to be fully closed and locked in place.
Harness chest strap spacing
It is advised to adjust the harness's chest strap width based on your
