  • Page 15: Connecting The Rescue Bridle

    Connecting the rescue bridle To connect your rescue to the Harmony PILOT harness, we recommend using a Davinci Rescue Carabiner which has Min 28kN(2854kgf) of breaking load. It has more than 10 times of your maximum weight. Be sure to inspect your connector during normal maintenance and safety checks.

  • Page 19: Adjustments

    Adjustments Adjust your harness to fit your body type and flight style. It is important to adjust correctly so that you can slide easily into the sitting position after takeoff. A misaligned harness can negatively affect the flying characteristics of a paraglider. Hang on the simulator to make adjustments before the first flight and fine the right settings if necessary during the first few flights.
  • Page 20: Shoulder Straps

    (1) Shoulder straps The optimum setting for the shoulder straps depends on the height of the pilot. Step into the harness and stand upright with the breast strap closed, symmetrically adjust the shoulder straps until they are a snug fit, but not tight. To tighten: pull down on the BLACK webbing strap(1) To loosen: pull up on the Black webbing strap(2)
  • Page 21: Lateral Straps

    (2) Lateral Straps The lateral strap can adjust the angle between the thigh and back. Increasing the strap increases the angle, and decreasing the angle. The most comfortable position for yourself is to adjust in flight from calm weather. The attitude of flying in a reclining position reduces the stability of the harness and increases the possibility of twist of the riser.
  • Page 22: Chest Strap

    (3) Chest Strap The adjustment of the chest strap controls the distance between the carabiners and affects the handling and stability of the glider. Widening the distance between the carabiners increases feedback from the wing and allows for easier weight shifting. Closing the strap gives you a more stable feeling in turbulence but increases the risk of stable spiral and also the risk of twisting! The chest strap may also be adjusted in flight according to the conditions;...

  • Page 24: Leg Strap

    (5) Leg straps The roots of the leg straps are positioned high, a characteristic of the Get-Up system, and this ensures great freedom of movement for the legs. Generally, the factory setting are correct. If it is difficult to enter the harness after launch, we suggest tightening the leg strap adjustment under the seat.
