> introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Windtech “Wind-SOS” emer- gency system. The advanced design of this emergency parachute allow us to achieve an extremely fast opening time, combined with a smooth and stable decent rate which are the two most important factors in a reserve system.
> warning & liability This reserve parachute is an emergency system designed to be used as a last chance to reduce the speed of decent in the event of an emergency during flight. It must be obviously used and controlled by pilots who fully understand the abilities and the limits both of the glider and of the reserve parachute.
> folding instructions The folding of the parachute is critical because from a correct folding depends the efficiency of opening when necessary. Stretch the parachute completely by holding the lines in each end, the apex and the lead- ing edge. Tidy up each gore, one by one until reaching twice gore number 1.

Open in the centre of the canopy gore num- ber 1. Separate and untangle both line groups, left and right from the central line. Pull the central line and help the canopy to enter into himself in the apex side until all the lines, including the central one, are stretched.

Note The reserve handle should be attached to the internal bag and the parachute bridle should be attached to the harness by an appropriated carabiner. >Windtech team...
