Double check that your dealer has checked the integrity and basic settings of the harness. The harness should be assembled by appropriately qualified paragliding instructor. Harmony pilot harness doesn’t have accelerator system • Connecting the carabiner Before your flight, you have to...
Installing the seat plate The seat plate can be removed and accessed on the back of the seat. Disconnect the leg strap and pull it back to remove it. Place the leg straps on the back edge of the sheet when installing the seat plate. The seat plate must be installed with the rounded edge to the backward and the front curve facing downward.
The pilot is responsible for ensuring the parachute is properly installed. This harness is compatible with the Davinci Gliders’s Comma # lite. The rescue from other manufacturers can also be used, we do not guarantee each function.
Attaching the rescue container bag to the harness rescue parachute handle Harness is included the rescue parachute handle. The handle have to be connected to the rescue container bag. For the connection, you have to check the length of the strap. It must be longer than the connecting plastic pin not being pulled before the strap tightens on the reserve.
Be sure to contact your parachute dealer or a qualified professional to check the connection, position and secure deployment, and refer to the rescue manual for details. The rescue handle and inner container supplied with the Harmony PILOT should already be connected.
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.
Rescue installation guide The right installation of rescue parachute is the most importance process. Begin by first connecting the bridle and the rescue handle to the rescue parachute (p.-). -Set the rescue into the rescue pocket of the harness with the handle connection close to the pilot and the extra rescue bridle and connection lines neatly folded at the bottom of the container.
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.
(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)
(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.
(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;...
(4) Lumbar support For optimal ergonomic support in the lower lumbar region and adjustment of the sitting depth. To tighten, pull forward on BLACK webbing strap(1) To loosen, pull back on the BLACK webbing strap(2)
(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.

Activate the reserve parachute It is a good idea to check the position of the reserve parachute handle frequently during flight whenever you can afford it. By doing so, you will be able to maximize the time given the paraglider throws a reserve parachute out of control.
