Setting up Speed system assembly The Yeti Xtrem 2 is fitted with a fully functional, easy to use and lightweight speed assembly. Careful attention has gone into the precise position for maximum comfort. To assemble the speed system, first pass the chord through the ceramic ring (1). Next, pass the chord through the metal ring at the bottom edge of the seat (2). - Page 9 Connecting the main carabiner on the Yeti Xtrem is made very simple. The carabiner attachment points are colour coded to match your GIN Glider. BLUE on the right and RED on the left. It is important that the carabiner remains in the upright position so the load is distributed lengthwise.
- Page 10 Connecting the front rescue The Yeti Xtrem can be used with a front rescue container. Connect the rescue risers to the main carabiner. Be sure that the carabiner gate is facing the pilot to allow the reserve to freely slide up the carabiner in the event of a rescue deployment. The reserve risers must be connected to the carabiner before the paraglider risers are attached so the reserve hangs freely in the forward position.
