Whilst suspended in the seated position ensure the straps are comfortable and supportive, they should not be too tight nor too loose. LUMBER SUPPORT The Lumber support should be adjusted for a comfortable flying position. Precise adjustments can be made in the air so that your lower back is completely supported and there is no tension in your stomach muscles. Be sure to adjust the lumber supports carefully, setting them too loose will result in a very reclined position in the air. The red ball found under the left hand maillon should now be passed through the loop of the anti-forget system. LEG STRAPS/CHEST STRAP The length of the leg straps and chest strap affects the overall stability of the harness. For maximum weightshift the chest strap and leg straps should be left in their longest position. For greater roll stability the straps can be tightened. It is important to test fly and adjust to find the position that is best for your style of flying and overall comfort. The shoulder strap retainer clip should now be fastened. -
Page 10: Fine Tuning Of The Pod
FEATURES LEG SUPPORT ANGLE The angle of the leg support can be adjusted using with the knots on the short purple line. Using the higher INTEGRATED COCKPIT knot increases the support under your thighs. As standard, the Lycra and 570 pods are supplied with a lightweight flight deck. The larger Forza deck is available as an option for the Lycra and 570 pods but comes as standard with the 720 pod. Instruments can be attached either directly to the deck or alternatively to the optional angled Velco plate. In the air it rests over the top of the chest strap to make it easy to view the instruments. FINE TUNING OF THE POD The harness has been set up so that it will suite the majority of pilots and further adjustments should not be necessary, however if you wish to make changes it is possible to do so. This must be done on the ground and is not possible in the air. The foot plate at the end of the pod is supported by 4 HYDRATION ACCESS SYSTEM lines (purple), these control the overall length of the pod and the angle of the foot plate. The Ozium 2 includes a hydration access system with an opening on the left hand shoulder and anchor points for your hydration tube. Minor adjustments to the overall length of the pod can be made by moving the position of the knots on the upper anti-forget lines (grey) and the lower (purple) knots. VELCRO SHOULDER MOUNTING The opposite shoulder strap has a lightweight Velcro mounting point for a small vario, radio or GPS tracking device. The angle of the foot plate can also be changed by moving the position of the knots on the bottom (purple) lines. RADIO POCKET IMPORTANT: If any adjustments are made, make sure that the lines are symmetrical. If you do choose to make a change, take your time to find the position that suites you best, only make small adjustments each time. -

CARE AND MAINTENANCE The Ozium 2 will last you many flights and many years if looked after correctly. To keep your harness clean and airworthy, please note the 1. Red pod loops on carabiners following: • Avoid excessive exposure to UV, heat and humidity. • Pack the harness dry and store in a cool dry place. • Never drag your harness. • Keep you harness clean of dirt, oils and any corrosive substance. • Use water and a cloth to clean. 2. Zips INSPECTION For safety, routine inspection of all of your equipment is vitally important. Ozone recommends a service interval of 12 months in addition to the usual pre flight checks. For inspection, visually check the stitching, webbing and all structurally important areas. Pay particular attention to the webbing around the hang point area under the carabiner, as this is where abrasion is most likely. If you find any damage or if you are in any doubt make sure the harness checked by a professional.

If you are unable to contact your dealer then you can contact us directly at info@flyozone.com. Summary Safety is paramount in our sport. To be safe, we must be trained, practised and alert to the dangers around us. To achieve this we must fly as regularly as we can, ground handle as much as possible and take a continuous interest in the weather. If you are lacking in any of these areas you will be exposing yourself to more danger than is necessary. Every year many pilots get hurt launching; don’t be one of them. Launching is the time that you are most exposed to danger so practice it lots. Some launch sites are small and difficult and conditions aren’t always perfect. If you’re good at ground handling you’ll be able to confidently and safely launch whilst others struggle...practice as much as you can. You’ll be less likely to get hurt and more likely to have a great day’s flying. Respect the environment and look after your flying sites. When the harness comes to the end of its useful life, remove all the metal parts and dispose the rest in an environmentally friendlty manner. Finally, RESPECT the weather, it has more power than you can ever imagine. Understand what conditions are right for your level of flying and stay within that window. Happy flying & enjoy your Ozium 2. - Page 14 1258 Route de Grasse Le Bar sur Loup 06620 France...
