  • Page 9 The philosophy behind ICARO Paragliders‘ development of this harness was to provide a harness of maximum safety and simplicity, paired with a high-strength construction and best materials, ambitious freestyle and acro recreational pilots and competition professionals. This is approved to EN 1651. The seat shell is made of high-strength materials and tested to 20g with a 120kg hanging load.

    • Finally, connect the bar to the accelerator return rubbers. ADJUSTMENT OF CIRCUS The CIRCUS offers four justifications of settings to give the pilot the best sitting position. In order to find this optimal position you need some time, which is well in- vested.
  • Page 11 ADJUSTMENT OF SHOULDER STRAPS The adjustment of the shoulder straps com- pensates for the different sizes of the pilot. The corresponding buckle is on the padding of the straps under the neopren. The shoul- der straps also support part of the weight of the upper body for better comfort.
  • Page 12 ADJUSTMENT OF CHEST STRAPS The chest strap can be adjusted with the buckle on the T-piece. However, pay atten- tion to the adjustment of the chest strap length / carabiner distance (e.g., manufac- turer‘s recommendations, individual pilot- ing). This has a significant influence on the stability and handling of the paraglider.

    LOOP IN THE HANDLE TO THE RIGHT The handle must be connected to the inner container. ICARO inner container has two loops on which the handle of the harness can be inserted (center, side). Hand- les for front and back containers are always hung in the central loop, for side con- tainers and for containers under the seat board, the side loop is used.
