1-Presentation
The Grasshopper Mk2 is a pod harness, seated position, available
in 3 sizes, equipped with an inflatable protection. Its particularity,
like its predecessor, is to have the reserve on the front and its risers
attached to it. Thus, when you close your chest strap, your reserve
is armed. This system makes it almost impossible to take off
without having your waist strap/ventral closed (the rescue drags
behind the feet). Built in resistant materials, it is nevertheless light
and extremely comfortable.
Please note, the use of a pod harness requires adaptation if you
are flying with a seated harness. It will take about twenty flights
to get used to this change. Also note that the inflatable protection
is not a device that fully guarantees your safety or your physical
integrity. The best protection is your decisions! Act accordingly!
The GH2 is equipped of 2 lateral pockets, 1 under seat front pocket
and 1 large pocket in the back (40l)
The maximum rider weight is 100 kg!
Certified according the EN 1651.

The accelerator is already in place, however, check that it is
correctly routed and adjusted. You can shorten it or lengthen it on
its connection to the pedal.
Adjusting the harness is relatively simple.
You should start by adjusting the seat:
•
Adjustment of seat depth/backrest inclination (1): pull or release
the 2 side straps. Make sure that the buckle is in line at the end of
the adjustment and that it is well covered by its lycra sock.
•
Adjustment of the shoulder straps (2): pull or release the 2
shoulder straps. Make sure that the buckles are in line at the
end of the adjustment and that it is well covered by its lycra
sock. Do not put too much tension on the shoulder straps, a fine
adjustment can be made using the chest strap.
•
Now adjust the length of the lines of the cocoon (3), the 6 lines
are fitted with a lark's head, the foot plate with 4 knotted ropes.
Take care to adjust their length at the same knot position in
order to maintain an ideal tabletop angle.
•
Adjust the seat straps (4). Release them completely. Pull on
the straps to put them just in tension. This is the ideal setting
for LC.If you pull more, you will put more angle to your seat by
raising your legs. This position can be uncomfortable on long
flights.
•
Finally, close each side of the pod and adjust their tension. You
have to put the lowest possible tension while having a tight
cocoon.
By putting too much tension, it will be more difficult to grab and
enter the pod after takeoff.
