Using the paraglider

Delivery

Every ADVANCE paraglider has to be flown by the dealer before deliv-
ery to check for correct settings and trim . The dealer finally enters the
date of the first flight on the type placard fastened on a rib at the cen-
tre of the wing . This entry together with your completed warranty form
ensures that deficiencies in the product, due the manufacturer, are
covered by the ADVANCE warranty . See 'Warranty' in the «Service»
section .
Delivery of a I OTA includes a COMFORTPACK 2 rucksack, an inner
bag, a compression strap, a repair kit, speedlines with speedbar, a mi-
ni-windsock in the wing colours and a «Getting Started» booklet .

Basic settings

At delivery the basic set up of the I OTA will be the original trim situa-
tion that the ADVANCE test team found to be best . Certification was
also gained in this condition . Any alterations or changes to the par-
aglider, such as altering the line lengths or fitting different risers or
quicklinks, will result in a loss of the glider's certification . See section
«Certification» .

Adjusting the brake lines

The length of the brake lines has been set at the factory so that, with
hands fully up, the trailing edge remains unbraked in accelerated
flight – ( no crease in the wing ) . Basically, this setting should be kept .
If the brake line length does have to be reset there should be 8 -10 cm
( depending on the glider size ) of initial free brake line movement be-
tween the brakes fully released position in unaccelerated flight, and
that point where the lines first affect the trailing edge . We recom-
mend a bowline knot for attaching the handles . See illustration in the
appendix .
