Page 4: Safety
The Techno 2023 harness has been designed for cross country pilots looking for a very light and comfortable pod harness. Due to the large back pocket and low weight, the Techno 2023 is perfect for bivouac flights. The primary goal in this design was to reduce weight while maintaining high comfort and to improve aerodynamics by adding a self-inflating fairing in the rear section. -
Page 5: Rescue Chute Installation
3. Rescue chute installation. Connect the release handle to the central suspension point of the canopy bag. Connect both ends of the V-riser to the connecting strap of the reserve parachute using a C6 quicklink. The V-riser should be fixed in place by the attached O-ring and the square nut tightened with a wrench. - Page 6 Place the rescue parachute in the frontcontainer.
- Page 7 Pass the assistant lines through the loops in the No. 1 flaps. Then proceed as demonstrated in the pictures. Use temporary pins. The flaps of the container are marked with numbers 1, 2, 3. Close them in that order.
- Page 9 The container is provisorily closed now. Remove the temporary pins and replace them with proper pins of the release handle. Insert the ends of the pins and the ends of the handle into corresponding pockets. Gently remove the assistant line.
- Page 10 Fasten the velcro pin cover.
- Page 11 Insert the protruding parts of No. 1 flaps and shape the frontcontainer.
- Page 12 To avoid accidental opening of the rescue system, pins closing the container must be checked before each flight ! The rescue chute must be periodically aired and repacked according to its manual. The Techno 2023 harness will best accommodate light rescue chutes: Globe Light 90, Globe Light 110 or Globe Light 135 manufactured by Dudek Paragliders. However, use of rescue parachutes by other manufacturers is possible too, as long as their dimensions when packed do not exceed those of the container Container’s volume:...
- Page 13 After each installation of rescue chute in a container, a compatibility test is necessary. In order to do that, hang the harness, equipped ready for flight. Seat down in the harness and assume your usual position in flight. Grab the container release handle and pull it to the side in a resolute effort, so that the parachute is completely out of the container.

Page 14: Frontcontainer
4. Frontcontainer The frontcontainer for the rescue parachute, featuring a centrally located, clearly visible release handle, is mounted to the harness in four points. A short V-strap connects to the carabiners both the canopy and the frontcontainer. Additional fastening to the pod lines allows you to adjust the inclination angle of the instrument panel and stabilizes the front container. -
Page 15: The Pod
5. The pod The pod improves aerodynamics of the harness and protects the pilot against cold. There is and adjustable (length/angle) footrest and a two-step speedbar within the pod. The pod is permanently attached to the harness and closed in two places only #1 and #2. The front of the pod automatically inflates after launch, then after landing you can easily squeeze that air out e.g. -
Page 17: Speed System
6. Speed system The speedbar should be already installed in your harness. If for some reason it has been removed, fix it as described below. Lead the speedbar lines through the pulleys (under the seat and on the backrest), and then through the slots on both sides of the cocoon. Fasten the hooks to the ends of the lines. - Page 18 1 – speed system line 2 – two-step speedbar 3 – rubbers connecting speedbar to the footrest.

Page 19: Harness Straps Adjustment
7. Harness straps adjustment Before adjusting the straps please install your rescue chute and fill the back pocket as for normal flight. Watch out for symmetry – left and right side should be adjusted the same. The first, test flight should be done in easy weather conditions, with necessary corrections to be applied afterwards. - Page 20 7.1 Shoulder straps By adjusting the shoulder straps (1) the harness will fit the height of the pilot. Adjust their length so that they adhere to the shoulders and provide clear support for the upper back. Too short straps will make it difficult to get into the harness and may restrict your movements in flight.
- Page 21 7.2 Side straps They are used to change the seat / backrest inclination. Complete with the Techno 2023 harness, we have provided you with three sets of side straps of different lengths. Medium length side straps are already installed in the harness. Most probably, you will find this backrest angle comfortable.
- Page 22 Too short straps can make you uncomfortable and restrain your starting run. Too long straps can make seating into harness impossible without using your hands. In the Techno 2023 harness both leg straps (3) are connected to the chest strap, thus significantly reducing risk of launching without leg straps locked.
- Page 23 7.4 Chest strap A chest strap sets the distance between the carabiners. In the Techno 2023 harness, its length is fixed at 45 cm for M size. It has neither length adjustment nor buckles and is connected to leg straps. To fasten the harness, clip both ends directly into the main carabiners.
-
Page 24: Pockets
Pack the back pocket carefully, as its content can significantly affect the comfort of the flight. For example, hard objects will be uncomfortably felt through the backrest of the harness. Pack trekking poles with their tips up. Since the Techno 2023 is an ultra-light product, you must cover the sharp ends of the poles with a protective cap, otherwise they may damage the harness. -
Page 25: Protector
9. Protector The Techno 2023 is equipped with a certified, 15 cm thick airfoam protector. Fixing the protector in place is shown below. - Page 26 In case of replaceable protector – it will obviously protect you only when present in the harness. Protector is certified by: ALIENOR CERTIFICATION n ° 2754 21 rue Albert Eintsien 86100 CHATELLERAULT France, zgodnie z rozporządzeniem EU 2016/425 oraz protokołem CRITT SPORT LOISIRS SP002 The CE declaration is available on our website www.dudek.eu...

Page 27: Harness/Paraglider Connection
Harness/paraglider connection The Techno 2023 harness is equipped with 18 kN Edelrid Ease aluminium carabiners. Use them to connect the harness to the risers. Another thing to connect before launch is the speedsystem of the harness and the speedsystem of the risers. It is recommended to replace the main carabiners with new ones after 300 hrs airtime. -
Page 28: Harness/Tow Connection
Harness/tow connection Use a dedicated tow hook to connect the harness to the towing device. Techno 2023 does not have additional points for attaching the release, so fix it to the canopy risers with two Maillon Rapide C5 quicklinks. Do not connect tow release with Edelrid Ease carabiners Preparing harness for flight Before each flight a thorough check of the harness is required. - Page 29 Securing the harness: Fasten the chest strap by connecting its ends directly to the carabiners. If your harness has a chest strap with buckles, clip • them into the corresponding buckles on the carabiners. Clip the ends of the V-strap into the carabiners to fix the frontcontainer and connect the harness to the rescue chute. •...

Page 30: Harness Use In Practice
Techno 2023 is not suitable for training flights. Tandem flying Techno 2023 is not suitable for tandem flight neither as a pilot, nor as a passenger. Acro Techno 2023 was designed for the XC flights. It is not suitable for advanced aerobatic manoeuvres. - Page 31 Speed system operation Techno 2023 is equipped with ball bearing Allen 20 pulleys, improving speed system operation. Two-step speedbar in the pod stays always extended with two elastics, so it is easy to find in flight.
- Page 32 Landing While on the final approach, assume upright position and get your legs ready for landing. Touchdown when still sitting is unacceptable, as there is high risk of spine injury. Land always on your feet, with a few steps to bleed the speed off if necessary. The protector is NOT a landing aid and was not designed as such.

Page 33: Using A Rescue Chute
14. Using a rescue chute Rescue chute should be used as final means when it’s the only way to get the paraglider out of dangerous situation. Using the rescue chute when the paraglider is rotating is dangerous. As long as the altitude margin lasts you have to partially or completely stop the rotation. -
Page 34: Operation And Repairs
Techno 2023 is an ultralight harness. The lifespan of this product largely depends on how you handle it. Dragging on the ground, careless packing and storage etc. accelerate the aging process, therefore should be avoided. A lightweight product is much more sensitive to any kind of abuse and damage. - Page 35 Environmental care Paragliding is an outdoor sport. We believe that our clients share our environmental awareness. Exercising paragliding you can easily contribute to environment preservation by following some simple rules. Make sure you are not harming nature wherever you fly. Keep to marked paths, do not make excessive noise, do not leave any garbage and respect fragile balance of the environment.
