Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION S.E.A. Paragliders follow the philosophy of “paragliding is not just ying”. We believe that paragliding does not start after takeo and does not end with landing. For us, lightweight and reliable equipment is a means to expand the pilot's possibilities in choosing starts and ying places. -
Page 4: Description
DESCRIPTION OF RUNA HARNESS Runa was designed to be the lightest harness for regular cross-country pilots who want more freedom of movement without sacri cing ight quality. The Runa is lighter, but without compromising on ight comfort, safety, aerodynamics or usability. The Runa power structure is made with a large margin of safety and does not require special handling, but do not forget that the outer skin of your harness is made of almost the same fabric as your paraglider. -

The harnesses of this type does not have a rigid board under the pilot. This design saves weight, and allows more precise tuning of the harness to the individual proportions of the pilot. ACCELERATOR The harness is supplied with a compact two-step speedbar.
- Page 7 BACK PROTECTOR The in atable protector — is a key element of the harness Runa concept. Thanks to him, the packing volume of the harness is so small that it can be used instead of a roller inside the glider, taking care of its long plastic rods. AEROBATICS Runa harness is not intended for acrobatic maneuvers in order to avoid getting into dangerous ight situations.

Page 8: Before You Y
BEFORE YOU FLY Before the rst ight, the harness must be prepared at home: install a reserve parachute, adjust the harness for the pilot, adjust the accelerator. Harness adjustments can require serious attention, with many pilots adjusting the new suspension after several ights to achieve maximum comfort and control. It is very important to understand here that tting the harness is a long process, but the reward is high. - Page 9 Second, pass the lines through Third, route the lines through Fourth, route the lines through metal rings on front end of both pulleys on the sides of both eyelets under harness seat board. harness. carabiners. Then tie the line to the brummel hook with a bowline knot and attach the speed system to the corresponding cords on risers of paraglider.

Page 12: Installation The Rescue Parachute
INSTALLATION THE RESCUE PARACHUTE Lightweight compact parachutes such as the S.E.A. Paragliders WTF are better suited for Runa harness. It is best to leave the rescue parachute installation to an experienced instructor or harness manufacturer's representative. It is very important that the rescue parachute is repacked shortly before being installed in the harness - this directly a ects the safety of the pilot. -
Page 13: Compatibility Between Harness
COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN HARNESS AND RESCUE PARACHUTE After installation of the rescue parachute, it is necessary to check the compatibility of the parachute and harness. Use the harness simulator - put on the harness with installed parachute, fasten all the buckles and attach the harness with main carabiners to the simulator. -
Page 14: Adjust And T The Harness
- Immediately after opening the parachute it is necessary “to kill” the canopy of the paraglider to avoid the “bell” regime. To do this, tighten the B- or C-risers of the glider rmly and deeply. If this is not possible, you need to deeply tighten the brakes of the paraglider until it enters a complete stall;... - Page 15 ADJUSTMENTS PRINCIPLES The cocoon frontal lines (12) de nes the overall harness pitch adjustment. The relative lengths of the upper (12u) and lower (12d) frontal lines de nes the angle of footplate (13). The lumbar adjustments (11) re ect the shape of the pilot's body and their adjustment depends on his body size. The side straps is adjusted with strong plastic buckles (10).
