In order to adjust the arm straps link make a knot on the strap (folded in two) and hide it in the red ball. Firmly tie the knot. The excess of the strap can be clipped off when necessary.
5. Closing the harness and connecting to paraglider. To close the harness you just clip the carabiners in the loops on the breast strap and close the arm straps link by putting the red ball through its loop. When closing the breast strap make sure it is not twisted. After closing the harness you can clip the main carabiners in the loops and connect set up the speedbar, if it’s not installed yet.
6. Speedbar In order to install the speedsystem in the harness you need to put its pulleys (of the speedbar kit) in respective loops on both sides of the seating and in the lower part of back support. Then put the line through the pulleys as shown on the right.
7. Frontcontainer A frontcontainer for the Sit&Fly 260 harness is simply mounted by clipping the ends of the V-riser in the carabiners. Loops on the V-riser ends do simultaneously fix the frontcontainer itself. Before clipping the frontcontainer in the Sit&Fly 260 harness, make sure that the carabiners are pointing backwartds with their locks.
8. Before flight Before each flight a thorough check of the harness is required. For your own safety make sure that: - the harness is not damaged in any way - the rescue chute container is correctly closed and locked with pins - the rescue chute release handle is correctly set up and has the right shape (quite often it happens to be malformed in transport, so it’s important to check if it’s not flattened and easy to grab) * - the breast strap is closed...
