Page 11: Adjustments
Be careful that the lines run freely and are not tangled. Adjustments The Haven should be adjusted to suit your physique and flying style. It is important to adjust it correctly to ensure you can easily slide into the sitting position after take off. - Page 12 (&( Side straps to control angle of seat The seat adjustment straps allow you to adjust the angle of the front seat. You can control the angle of the seat in the seating position with the straps beside the seat. To get the optimum setting you can loosen these straps to the maximum in the sitting position and start pulling the straps until you get the comfort from the leg support depending on the flying style of the pilot.
- Page 13 We advise pilots of MAC PARA paragliders to fly with a distance between the carabiners of approximately 44 to 57 cm depending on the size of the Haven. The chest strap may also be adjusted in flight according to the conditions; for example, it may be tightened in turbulent air and flown at a looser setting in more stable or weak conditions.
