    2.1 The concept The CONNECT Light is a light-weight paraglider harness, designed for a wide range of use. It is ideal for long walks to launch sites away from crowded flying sites, thanks to its weight-optimisation and the fact that it is very small when packed up.

    Before it is fitted, the reserve is attached to the CONNECT Light using the bridle. This is designed as a V-bridle which is attached to the shoulder straps of the CONNECT Light. If there is an emergency deployment, this ensures that the force of the reserve goes into the harness.
  • Page 6 3.1.3 Fitting the reserve system: the reserve system is fitted in the outside container of the CONNECT Light. Note in this picture that the deployment handle loop is attached to the side 3.1.4 Closing the container: the elastic fasteners are found in the loops of the lowest flap (see Fig. 1). A pack cord is threaded through each of these.

    Attaching a safety line: This line should prevent accidental deployment of the reserve system and it should have a breaking strength of 5kg (available from specialist shops or directly from SWING). To attach it, use a needle to feed it through the top band and deployment handle and knot it (see picture).

    By adjusting the shoulder straps, the harness can be altered according to the height of the pilot. This is done using the adjustment straps integrated in the shoulder padding. During launch, the adjustment straps should not be tightened too much, because this will restrict your freedom of movement.

    4.3 Adjusting the speed bar After you have set up the best seating position, the speed system must be adjusted. The pulleys needed are already on the harness. The speed bar line is first fed through the rings attached with elastic to the front edge of the seat. Then feed it through the metal loops on the side of the harness (see picture) and then to the pulley which is attached to the side of the rear of the seat.

    5.3 Towing The CONNECT Light is also well-suited for towing. We recommend use of the SWING Pro - Tow aid, which will ensure an optimal hang point for the tow release. 5.4 Tandem flights The CONNECT Light is suitable for tandem flights, but it is not recommended that the pilot uses it, because the passenger covers up the opening for the CYGNUS AIRBAG and thus prevents optimal protection.
  • Page 11 7 LOOKING AFTER YOUR HARNESS/ REPAIRS When you are packing up the CONNECT Light, pay attention to how the front part of the harness is folded and stored. The Mylar plate incorporated here gives the Airbag its shape, contributing to partial inflation of the Airbag, and it should therefore not be bent.
