Page 5: Warning
WARNING • Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury including bodily harm, paralysis and death. Using Ozone equipment is undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding involves such risks. • As the owner of an Ozone rescue parachute container you take exclusive responsibility for all risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equipment will increase these risks. Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufacturer, distributor or dealers is excluded. • This container has been solely designed as part of an emergency rescue system for paragliders/paramotors. Do not under any circumstances use this for hang gliding, free fall parachuting, BASE jumping or any other type of aircraft. • It is essential that the parachute is correctly installed within the container and that it is connected to the harness exactly as shown in this manual. A compatibility test must be carried out by a qualified professional to exclude any possible non-compatibility between the harness and rescue device. • The parachute bridles must be connected directly to the main carabiners of the harness. Alternatively the bridles can be attached to the shoulder attachment points if your harness has them and if your bridles are long enough. • To ensure the correct functioning of the system, you must perform a practice throw seated in your harness. • Ensure your parachute is maintained properly and regularly re-packed, failure to do so may result in premature ageing and slower opening times. The entire system should be thoroughly checked every 6 months. • Complete a thorough daily and preflight inspection of all of your equipment. Pay particular attention to the parachute pins and ensure they are seated properly. Never attempt to fly with unsuitable or damaged... -
Page 6: The Rescue Containers
Thoughtfully designed, the containers are easy to handle and also act as a cockpit thanks to the Velcro top plate. Available in 3 different versions - Ultralite / Lite / PPG Lite. The Lite model is available in 2 sizes and is also available in a dedicated PPG version for paramotoring. The Ultralite container is dedicated for hike and fly or for those who need the most compact, lightest possible container. Package includes: External bag Deployment handle Extras required: Y bridle Suitable connector Suitable inner deployment bag The container is suitable for most parachutes, make sure to chose the model/size that is suitable for your parachute’s dimensions. It is important to not pack the parachute too tightly as this may affect the opening time. If between sizes, go for the larger container.

The connection must be long enough to allow the pins to release before the handle comes under tension. Ensure this is the case with a practice deployment. BRidlE cONNEcTiON If you have a parachute with a short bridle, then you need to attach it to an Ozone Y bridle (not supplied) using a suitable connector (not supplied). Long Y - bridled parachutes can be attached directly to the carabiners, or directly to the shoulder parachute attachments if your harness features them. If you are ordering an Angel parachute that is intended to be used with the front container then we recommend you go for the long bridle option. - Page 8 REsERVE PaRachuTE iNsTallaTiON - Lite / PPG Lite If connecting directly to the main carabiners, first of all place the ends of the Y bridle as shown and attach the Y bridle loops to the container bag loops - right is blue, left is red - with a larks foot as shown. It is not necessary to do this procedure with the PPG Lite version, or if you are attaching the bridles directly to the shoulder attachments. In these cases, the container can be secured to the harness in any suitable position with the clips. Neatly fold the bridles and place the deployment bag on top with the handle facing uppermost towards you, orientated so the double arrows match the position of the slots on the deployment bag.
- Page 9 Using a piece of magic string or a thin piece of plastic routed through the deployment pin loops 1 pull the loops through the holes in the container flaps in the numbered order. Loops 1 should be routed through holes 2 then 3 and fixed in position with the yellow deployment pins. Ensure the bridles and deployment handle are correctly positioned before the final closure. Remove the string/plastic. Using the string/plastic, route deployment loops 4 through hole 5 and secure by routing the yellow deployment pin through loop 4. Remove the string/plastic and neaten the flap. The ends of the deployment handle can now be inserted into the slots orientated so the double arrows of the handle and the deployment bag align.
- Page 10 Ultralite Follow the above procedure connecting the red and blue container lines to the Y bridle with a larks foot. The ends of the deployment pins should be neatened within the small holes once both loops have been secured. The deployment handle is held by the pins and is not secured within a slot. cONNEcTiON TO ThE haRNEss The front container can be used with almost any harness. We recommend that the bridles are attached directly to the main carabiners as this is the neatest solution, alternatively you can attach the bridles to dedicated shoulder attachment points if your harness has them and your bridles are of sufficient length. Ensure the carabiner gates will not interfere with the bridle loops, you may need to reverse the carabiners’ orientation on the hang point to achieve this.
- Page 11 Either attach the wing’s risers first and then the parachute’s, keeping the loops above the carabiner gate, or alternatively reverse the direction of the carabiners and attach the parachute before the risers. Red = Left, Blue = Right. The PPG Lite container should be secured to a suitable position on the harness using the straps. IMPORTANT: Ensure the bridles are installed correctly on the carabiners. WARNING: Ozone strongly recommends that the reserve parachute system is installed by a qualified professional. Always seek experienced advice if you have any doubts. Make sure you perform a practice throw from a static hang point. Not only does this ensure the correct functioning of your deployment system it also allows you to become more familiar with the necessary deployment technique and the installation process.

If you are unable to contact your dealer then you can contact us directly at info@flyozone.com. summary Safety is paramount in our sport. To be safe, we must be trained, practised and alert to the dangers around us. To achieve this we must fly as regularly as we can, ground handle as much as possible and take a continuous interest in the weather. If you are lacking in any of these areas you will be exposing yourself to more danger than is necessary. Every year many pilots get hurt launching; don’t be one of them. Launching is the time that you are most exposed to danger so practice it lots. Some launch sites are small and difficult and conditions aren’t always perfect. If you’re good at ground handling you’ll be able to confidently and safely launch whilst others struggle...practice as much as you can. You’ll be less likely to get hurt and more likely to have a great day’s flying. Respect the environment and look after your flying sites. When this product comes to the end of its useful life, dispose it in an environmentally friendly manner. - Page 13 1258 Route de Grasse Le Bar sur Loup 06620 France...
