  • Page 5: Introduction

    Through intensive research work we managed to develop a rescue system with maximum reliability, strength and fastest opening time at low sink rate. The X-TRIANGLE is easy to pack with a small packing size, low overall weight and a very high pendulum stability. Despite a high maximum weight load we could achieve a very low sink rate.

    Quality assurance The X-dream Fly rescue devices go through a step by step control during the whole production. After every step, the product is accurately checked and only after a successful pass of the test the following step will be started.

    The scissors position The X-TRIANGLE is extremely pendulum stabl. Nevertheless, the danger of a scissor position (down plane) should be reduced by stabilising or retraction the main glider. A scissor position increases the rate of descent and produce an...

    The X-TRIANGLE can not be stalled by pulling both steering lines. We recommend to study and train the use of the X-TRIANGLE in advance. If your rescue is mounted to your shoulders it can be difficult to turn your head, to orientate yourselves to the risers of the X-TRIANGLE.

    X-TRIANGLE rescue device. Avoid unnecessary burdens and let your X-TRIANGLE never unnecessarily lying in the sun. The rescue equipment should be dried in clean, dry and dark rooms. Rescue packages that are no longer used should be stored loosely rolled in a bag.

    V-line to the harness. When using a connection carabiner the breaking load of the carabiner must have a min. of 2400 daN. If the X-TRIANGLE is connected to the shoulder area with two carabiners or as a front container on two lateral attachment points (usually the front container is mounted on the main carabiners), each individual carabiner need to have a strength of 1200 daN at least.

Funktion & assembly for packing X-TRIANGLE Assembly ring system Situation of delivery (opening without forward drive) 1. brake handles mounted and fixed 2. ring system fixed through steel pin 3. spliced line loops on the brake lines looped into the steel pin (IMPORTANT: both loops, 1x left and 1x right brake line) to release and open the ring system and generate a forward drive.

This is the only way to ensure that you can activate the ring system by pulling one or both brakes and thus forward drive can be generated. 6.)

    9. Packing manual X-TRIANGLE Before you start to pack, the X-TRIANGLE should be checked for any damage to the canopy, the lines and the main riser. The lines should be checked for proper performance and to unravel if necessary. Image 1 Overwiew riser and lines.
  • Page 21 Image 2 Sort the canopy (fabric) that the red corner looks up (flying direction). All lines are sorted correct without any knots or line overs. Images 3 & 4 Take a line and mount all the packing loops on top of the canopy. page 21 of 39 www.x-dreamfly.ch...
  • Page 22 Images 5 & 6 In the lower corners of the panels (at the line attachments) are black and blue arrows printed. Search the panel without printed arrow and drop it to the left. Image 7 Drop the panels with the blue arrows to the left side (the arrows then get to the bottom of each panel).
  • Page 23 Image 8 Continue dropping the panels with the blue arrows to the left side till you reach the corner panel. Flatten and streak this corner panel to the outside as you can see in the pic. Make sure the line on this panel re- mains in the center of the base and is not pulled outward.
  • Page 24 (blue arrows) is now ready. Images 11 & 12 Put now the right side of the X-TRIANGLE on the already sorted left until the black arrow appears. Now the panels of the right side (black arrows) are sorted like on the left side.

  • Page 28 On side gets folded upwards. Images 22 & 23 The other side gets folded downward in a S-turn. (final width) The X-TRIANGLE is now folded on container width and should be weighted down with sandbags to simplify the next process. page 28 of 39...
  • Page 29 Images 24 & 25 The X-TRIANGLE will now be folded in S-turns for container length. NOTE: The line at the top of the rescue (packing loops line) has the to be removed from the canopy. Images 26 & 27 The now finished folded canopy (final size of the container in length and width) must be rotated 180 degrees.
  • Page 30 Images 28 to 30 The deployment bag will be closed now. Pull the black rubber band in correct order of leaf no. 1 up to leaf no. 4 through the eyelet. page 30 of 39 www.x-dreamfly.ch...
  • Page 31 Image 31 Fix the black rubber band with a line loop. This line loop on the black rubber band is made first, thereby the canopy is fixed into the container. This packing method en- sures maximum throwing power. The lines released first, get stretched and opens the last line loop with the black rubber band, afterwards the canopy will be released...
  • Page 32 Images 35 & 36 The line bundles are stored into the line department in leaf no. 5 of the deployment bag. Images 37 & 38 The lateral ears of the container can be inserted under the cloth of the canopy as shown in the picture. page 32 of 39 www.x-dreamfly.ch...

    3. Implementation and installation The implementation and installation of a X-dream Fly rescue unit in the inner container of a third-party may be made only by trained personal by X-dream Fly. During the conversion and installation of the rescue the manual of the rescue as also of the harness - or inside container manufacturer - has to exist and the corresponding installa- tion and pack instructions need to be followed.
