Harness; Flight - Aeros Vitamin Owner's Manual

Lines are connected to risers by quick links – triangular
carabines, fitted with a rubber ring twisted in a form of a figure
"8" preventing any slipping of the lines on the triangles.
Carabines with connected lines are covered with thermoforming
tube, which prevents suddenly unlock of quick links.
Speedsystem of Aeros Vitamin is foot-operated. It works in such
manner, that on big speeds the stability of glider is not decreased
too much.
To fit the speed system pass free ends of speed system cords
(opposite ends are attached to the bar): through metal rings
attached to rubber ropes (if your harness is equipped with them);
through pulleys sewing to your harness. Connect loops of the
cords to a small "O"-shape quick links with nuts which should
be on the ropes of A-risers.
Test your speed system on the ground for the correct length of
the cord, sitting in your harness with attached risers. The
maximum speed is reached when pulleys on the A-risers are
joined together.
We recommend to use for attachment of speed system only
quick link with nut (not a spring carabiner without securing of
tongue) to prevent catching of main paraglider lines by this
carabiner.
To increase your speed in the air just push the bar by your feet.
The loop on the speed bar is made to help you to catch the bar
by your heel.

Harness

Distance between risers should be adjusted as stated in the
certification stickers (this distance is different for different
canopy sizes).
