Line System; Risers - UP Kangri X Operating Manual And Service Instructions

Line system

The lines of one half of the canopy are combined into three groups and the brake
lines:
A-level: AI, AII, AIII
B-level: BI,BII, BIII, STI
C-level: CI,CII, CIII
Brake lines: BRKI
The individual brake lines are each connected to a main brake line. This main brake
line is guided through a pulley on the C-riser. There is a mark on it at the height of
which the brake handle is knotted. All main lines on one level are looped separately
into quick links and connected to the risers. There are special line collectors in the
quick links to prevent the lines from slipping.

Risers

The new risers of the Kangri X are supplied in different lengths for S, SM and M, L
respectively. This improves the ergonomics of the different sizes and facilitates
manoeuvres such as take-off, ear placement, B-stall, etc. in particular. It also
optimizes the accelerator travel for different wing sizes. When the speed bar is
activated, the length of the A- and B-risers is changed at the same time. The largest
change in angle of attack is achieved when the front upper speed bar pulley of the
riser meets the lower speed bar pulley.
The plastic ball on the speed bar (tie ball, see Figure 2) is used to switch the speed
bar deflection on the riser from 2-fold to 1-fold deflection. At the start of acceleration,
half the force is required to activate the speed bar. As soon as the ball hits the lower
accelerator pulley, the lower deflection is blocked and the distance to be covered on
the accelerator is halved. This makes it easier to pedal the accelerator when the legs
are strongly bent. (See also the accelerator/harness section below).
The AIII riser made of Liros DC300 can be replaced independently if it shows signs of
wear, see Figure 3. One pair is included in the scope of delivery. To do this, open the
Maillon-Rapide quick link (position a) and unloop it from the "Ronstan Shock"
(position b). The new AIII riser (1 pair included) is then attached to the shock with an
anchor stitch, passed back through the AIII/STI line buckle (position c) and attached
to the screw link (position b). An additional loop must be attached here, which can
be opened for trimming if the line shrinks. The screw link must then be tightened with
a tightening torque of 0.60 Nm.
