Page 6: Protection And Safety
1.2 - Protection and safety With this new harness, we are once again recommending our highly tested, consolidated self-inflating air bag system, which consists of a steel spring that generates the force needed to expand the air bag, making it ready for potential impact at all times. This means that your protective capacities are at 100% before you even start your take-off run, and that they remain as such for the entire flight, until you fold up the harness to stow it in the rucksack. -
Page 7: Before Using
2 - BEFORE USING 2.1 - Emergency parachute The housing for the reserve parachute is below the seat in the front part of the harness. The container is large enough for most reserve parachutes on the market today. The reserve parachute has to be linked to the harness before it is inserted into the built-in pocket. This connection takes the form of a dual bridle fixed to the harness at shoulder height, for better load distribution and to ensure a correct landing position in the case that the reserve parachute is deployed. -
Page 8: Connecting The Reserve Parachute To The Harness
2.1.2 - Connecting the reserve parachute to the harness There are three different methods of attaching the reserve parachute bridle to the harness bridle.. First system: (suitable for NON-steerable parachutes) Use a screw-lock karabiner with a breaking strength of at least 2,400 kg. In this case, the bridles should be held in position within the karabiner using elastic bands, to prevent the karabiner from rotating and taking the strain laterally instead of vertically. - Page 9 Third system: (suitable for steerable or non-steerable parachutes with double connection point) If you are using a reserve parachute with directional control and dual bridle, or if your reserve parachute has a double-riser bridle, it can be connected to the harness using the two loops positioned at the base of the harness bridle, near the padded shoulder straps. In this case, the harness’s reserve parachute bridle will not be used, and so it should be folded, fastened using two elastic bands, and positioned under the cover behind the pilot’s neck.

Page 10: Adjustable Volume Parachute Container
2.1.3 - Adjustable volume parachute container WANì 2 has the ability to vary the volume of the parachute container, to adapt to the size of the various reserve parachutes on the market. This is possible by means of a zipper found inside the container. Remember to carefully position the zipper tabs inside the small protection pockets located at the two ends of the zipper itself, in the fully open or fully closed position. -
Page 11: Inserting The Reserve Parachute
2.1.4 - Inserting the reserve parachute Insert the parachute in the harness container with the handle visible toward the outside and with the handle coupling loop to the float bag facing upward. Immediately position the handle in its specific housing. Introduce a thin rope (like paraglider line) into each elastic loop which you will use to help close the container. -
Page 13: Extracting The Reserve Parachute
2.1.5 - Extracting the reserve parachute It is vital to feel periodically for the position of the reserve parachute deployment handle during normal flight, so that the action of reaching for the reserve parachute handle becomes instinctive in an emergency. in emergency situations, the deployment procedure is as follows: - look for the reserve parachute handle and grasp it firmly with one hand - pull the handle outwards in order to extract the reserve parachute from the harness container... -
Page 14: Harness Adjustments
2.2 - Harness adjustments WANì 2 harness provides a number of methods of adjustment so that the pilot can fly in the ideal position. A little time has to be invested in finding the optimum position, but this effort will be rewarded by exceptional comfort in flight. WANì 2 is supplied already adjusted to a standard ergonomic setting, apart from adjustments required for pilot height. - Page 15 Back position adjustment Paragraph 2.2.1 Seating position adjustment Paragraph 2.2.2 Shoulderpad adjustment Paragraph 2.2.3 Chest-strap adjustment Paragraph 2.2.4 Leg-strap adjustment Paragraph 2.2.5...

Page 16: Back Position Adjustment
2.2.1 - Back position adjustment In this photo, you can see how the back adjustment works, dividing the load on two points per side for better comfort. This adjustment allows you to select the inclination of the torso with respect to the vertical flight axis. WANì... -
Page 17: Seat Position Adjustment
2.2.2 - Seat position adjustment This adjustment varies the angle between the legs and the back (seating depth), distributing the load between the seat and the back, thereby providing the pilot with greater comfort. This adjustment is also divided into two points per side. If you want to change the adjustment, you must first loosen the strap as in the photos below. -
Page 18: Shoulder-Pad Adjustment
2.2.3 - Shoulder-pad adjustment Adjustment of the shoulder pads compensates for the variation in pilot height and the adjustment buckle is located in front of the pilot's shoulder. The shoulder pads also bear part of the weight of the upper body for improved comfort. We recommend adjusting the shoulder pads so that they fit against your shoulders without being too slack or too tight. -
Page 19: Leg-Strap Adjustment
There is also a second strap which lets you adjust the distance between the shoulders which, in case you forget to fasten the chest, prevents the pilot from falling out. 2.2.5 - Leg-strap adjustment In the event that it is difficult to get into the harness after the take-off run, we recommend checking the seating angle of inclination (with the adjustment described in point 2.2.2). -
Page 20: Stabilizer
2.2.6 - Stabilizer This small but important adjustment makes it possible to stabilize the harness when you exert pressure on the speed-bar, preventing excessive tilt of the back. Its mode of operation is very simple: when you push the speed-bar, this small plastic buckle blocks the shoulder- straps at the point at which they slide in the chest strap, making the entire strap system more rigid and improving overall harness stability. -
Page 21: Speed-Bar Repositioning Band
2.2.7 – Speed-bar repositioning band WANì2 is equipped with an elastic recoil band for the speed-bar. Simply make a knot on the speed-bar for correct positioning at each use. -

Page 23: Pockets
3.2 - Pockets WANì 2 has a spacious dorsal pocket and two side pockets, positioned respectively on the sides of the harness. A container for the camel-bag is fitted in the rear pocket. 3.3 - Camel-bag WANì 2 is installation-ready for a camel-bag. Position your camel-bag in the container pocket located in the rear pocket. Pass the hose through the hole which is already predisposed at the top left of the rear pocket, pass it under the Lycra cover of the left shoulder-pad and bring it out the front from the specific hole as shown in the photo. -
Page 24: Lying Over Water
There are no specific problems connected to flying above water using an WANì 2 harness, but in any case, landing in water is always dangerous. Woody Valley recommends using a suitable lifejacket when flying above water. 3.5 - Assisted take-off hook WANì... - Page 26 ATTENTION: Do not fold the rigid Lexan part on itself as sharp folds could be created, damaging it. This would cause airbag deformation which could compromise correct function.

Page 29: Elax Bar
side rings mounted on elastic tape. This last step prevents the cord from ending up in the harness when it is unhooked from the shoulder- straps of the paraglider. o adjust the system correctly, the pilot has to adopt a flying position in the harness, suspended from a flight simulator, and hook into the risers of the paraglider. -
