Instructions: how to attach the Mistral 5 paramotor risers
In this guide we describe how to set up your Mistral 5 with paramotor risers.
Please take extreme care when you are doing this and double-check everything one final
time when you have finished.
Caution: After you have finished attaching the paramotor risers, it is essential that
you inflate your glider before you next fly it and check that everything is in
order
1. Preliminary
You will need the following items to set up your Mistral 5 with paramotor risers (Fig. 1):
1. Paramotor risers for Mistral 5. We have developed paramotor risers specifically for the
Mistral 5. These are very different from paramotor risers for other models of paraglider. A
quick-link with an O-ring is attached to the right-hand B-riser. This should make it easier
for you to change the risers and will be left over once you have finished.
2. Your Mistral 5
3. A small spanner (7mm wide) to open the quick links
4. A place to hang up the risers
5. These instructions
2. How to change over the risers
We recommend that you hang up the risers in pairs beside one another when you change
them over i.e. the two right-hand risers together and then the two left-hand risers together
(see Fig. 2).
