The name ‘Conar’ comes from ‘Cono Apicale Rientrante’ the Italian for ‘Reverse Apex Cone’;...
- Page 3 d - Reverse Apex Cone: - Conar patent – it increases stability, further reduces sink-rate by 20%, impact energy by 40% and, on average, opening time by almost 10%. The fabric cone inside the Conar Apex forces airflow alongside the cone and then through a narrow slot.
- Page 4 synthetic materials deteriorate with age, particularly after exposure to AGEING: sun and moisture. The Conar has been designed with UV protection by making the protective bridle sheath and the optional outer containers from black-coated fabric; also, the parachute is covered with an aluminium UV protection sheet. However total UV protection is impossible and we recommend that the parachute be inspected by the manufacturer periodically for premature ageing.

Page 6: Deployment Procedure
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE The decision to deploy your rescue parachute depends on the height you are flying. If you are high and the glider is not badly broken perhaps you can try to regain control of your wing, or you can wait a few seconds for a more favourable moment with the bag in your hand. -
Page 7: Packing Directions
PACKING DIRECTIONS The hanggliding Conar parachute has a very easy packing technique, which is slightly different from traditional methods. As a quick and correct opening sequence depends on careful packing, you are recommended to get an experienced rigger to pack it as described in this manual, using the original Conar deployment bag Incorrect packing would probably cause malfunctions. - Page 8 4 >> Position the apex inside the canopy by gently pulling the apex line while your assistant is helping from the top. << 5 Pull the light sock right down towards the bridle knot to free the lines. << 6 Take two consecutive lines on the canopy and be sure they are free for...
- Page 9 8 >> Grasp all the suspension lines with one hand and check if all the knots are at the same height. << 9 Open the canopy by flaking the gores consecutively while counting them one by one. At the same time your assistant should place one hand well inside each gore and neatly lay out the upper part of the canopy from the inside.
- Page 10 12 >> Take one of the top gores (left or right doesn’t matter) and open it to make the wind channel, as shown in the picture. << 13 After this operation the canopy looks like the picture. 14 >> To increase reliability fold the sides at 45°.
- Page 11 << 16 Fold the canopy in half along the central axis and open the mouth of the wind channel. To do this properly you have to fold the canopy and open the mouth at the same time. 17 >> After this operation the canopy looks as in this picture.
- Page 12 << 20 Fold over the top 20 cm (8") of the canopy as shown in the picture. 21 >> Carefully fold it again so that the fabric remains evenly arranged inside the fold as shown in the picture. << 22 Make the first "S"...
- Page 13 24 >> Lay the five flap inner bag on the floor with the handle on the opposite side of the lines. Check the condition of the four rubber bands attached to the deployment bag and replace if necessary. Do not connect the bag to the canopy with a string: it could get tangled during a deployment! <<...
- Page 14 28 >> For the 16 and 18 gore Conar parachutes, take half the length of the lines from the edge of the deployment bag to the nylon tube (for the 20 and 22 gore models take one third of the length) and fold the lines in a figure of eight.
- Page 15 32 >> Secure the elastic string with a 3cm (1 inches) loop of bridle, after folding it as shown in the picture (one finger test again). To avoid possible tangling, place the new loop away from you (in the opposite direction of the first loop).
