Speed-system additional line set assembly:

The MENTOR 5 has comparatively long speed-system travel. To reach
full speed, the speed-bar must therefore be pushed a long way. This is
not possible with some harnesses.
The additional speed-system cords supplied with the glider will allow
you to reduce/adapt the length of travel. This means full speed can be
reached without having to push the bar to the maximum.

The additional speed-bar set comprises two additional cords, two
beads and a red cord to facilitate assembly.
2
First, push back the neoprene covers from the pulleys.
3
Undo the Brummel hooks. Now pull the line through both pulleys.
4
Unthread the the line from the upper pulley.
5
Using the red cord to assist, thread the new line into the upper
pulley. Make sure you thread in the loop which is closest to the knot.
Push the line loop over the pulley- in the opposite way to step 4 above.
6
Push the bead (using the red cord to assist) over the line until it
is located at the knot. Thread the line first through the lower, then the
upper pulley.
7
Attach the Brummel hook - in the opposite way to step 3 above.
Check that the line is running as shown in in the illustration.
The location of the knot and bead can be set as required:
if the knot in the picture is moved to the right, then the bead will block
the lower pulley only when close to full speed. The speed-bar travel is
only marginally reduced.
If the knot is moved left, the bead will block the pulley sooner.
The speed-bar travel is reduced more, but the force needed to engage
the system is increased.
