Confidence and belief in your paraglider is a far greater asset than any small gains in performance - ask any of the Ozone pilots on your local hills, or those who have taken our gliders on ground-breaking adventures or stood on podiums around the world. All our research and development is concentrated on creating the best handling/performance characteristics possible with optimum security. - Page 4 Flying an Ozone paraglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding involves such risks. • As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility for all risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equipment will increase these risks.

Page 5: Your Magnum 4
The Magnum 4’s handling is the best we have we have ever achieved with a tandem, it is agile and direct with low brake pressure. The internal design has been optimised so the wing remains structurally sound through turbulence giving a comfortable ride for both pilot and passenger. -
Page 6: Rucksack
Risers The Magnum 4 has been designed with 4 risers per side. The A riser is covered with coloured webbing, to allow for easy identification. The A risers are split into two, the smaller riser - holding only the outermost A line - is the ‘AR3 riser’... - Page 7 Trimmers The Magnum 4 is certified with trim risers that can be adjusted in flight to maximise thermalling or gliding IMPORTANT efficiency or to compensate for wing loading/conditions depending on personal taste. The design team have Before the take off...

Page 8: Total Weight In Flight
Limitations The Magnum 4 has been designed as a tandem intermediate XC wing. The 38 size is also suitable for heavier experienced solo pilots who do not fit within the certified range of a standard XL sized wing. It is not recommended to fly the 41 or 44 solo. -
Page 9: Reserve Parachute
Modifications Your Ozone Magnum 4 was designed and trimmed to give the optimum balance of performance, handling and safety. Any modification means the glider loses its certification and will also probably be more difficult to fly. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not modify your glider in any way. -
Page 10: Harness
PREPARATION Harness For the pilot, we recommend a dedicated tandem harness that allows freedom of movement with a wide seat plate or split leg design to comfortably accommodate the passenger once in the air. The reserve parachute handle should not be accessible to the passenger to reduce the likelihood of an accidental deployment. -
Page 11: Basic Flight Techniques
Launching Your Magnum 4 will launch with either the forward or reverse technique. The wing should be laid out in a pronounced arc, with the centre of the wing higher than the tips. It is recommended to launch with the trimmers set in the fully slow position. -
Page 12: Speed To Fly
Speed to Fly IMPORTANT Flying with the trimmers released a few cm achieve Magnum 4’s best glide speed for still air. You should fly Do not fly fully at this speed when gliding or when the air is not excessively sinking. -

both brakes or just one. The subtle adjustments will keep the glider flying smoothly and directly above you and dramatically reduce the chances of a collapse. If the glider pitches in front of you, use the brakes to slow it down. Equally, if the glider drops behind you, release the brakes to allow it to speed up. The goal of IMPORTANT active flying is to maintain the internal pressure whilst keeping the wing directly overhead. -
Page 14: Landing
Landing The flare of the Magnum 4 is very good, when performed correctly a solid flare creates lift and reduces the forward speed effectively for smooth, safe landings. The Magnum 4 shows no unusual landing characteristics but as a reminder, here are some tips: •... -
Page 15: Rapid Descent Techniques
RAPID DESCENT TECHNIQUES Ozone would like to remind you that the following manoeuvres should be learnt under the supervision of a qualified instructor and always used with caution. Never forget that properly analysing the conditions before launch will help avoid the need to use these techniques. -
Page 16: B Line Stall
To release the ears, reach around to the AR1 riser and feel for the ball trapped in the basket with your index IMPORTANT finger, push the ball back towards the interior of the basket to free it. The ears will automatically re-open. When using the Big Ear System always The ear system is ideal when prolonged ears are necessary, they should be released with plenty of altitude. -
Page 17: Spiral Dives
To initiate a spiral, look and lean in to the direction you want to turn, then smoothly pull down on the inside brake. The Magnum 4 will first turn almost 360 degrees before it drops into the spiral. Once in... -
Page 18: Deflations
INCIDENTS IN FLIGHT Deflations Due to the flexible form of a paraglider, turbulence may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to collapse. This can be anything from a small 30% (asymmetric) collapse to a complete (symmetric) collapse. If you have a collapse, the first thing to do is to control your direction. You should fly away from the ground or obstacles and other pilots. -

spiral. The aim is to empty the air out of the wing tip, but without spinning. Correctly done, this action will clear the cravat efficiently. Alternatively, and if the cravat is small, after maintaining a controlled direction you can pull the stabilo line (outermost line on the D risers) until you feel tension, this action will normally clear the cravat. - Page 20 Flying in the Rain Modern wings are susceptible to rain and moisture, flying with a wet wing can result in the loss of normal flight. IMPORTANT Due to the efficient, wrinkle-free design of the sail, water tends to bead on the leading edge causing flow Never fly in the rain or separation.

Page 21: Packing
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Packing To prolong the life of your wing and to keep the plastic reinforcements in the best possible condition it is very important to pack the wing carefully. We recommend to use the concertina packing method exactly as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other and the plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent. - Page 22 Step 4. Group together the middle/trailing edge of the wing by sorting the folds near the B, C and D tabs. Step 5. Once the LE and rear of the wing have been sorted, turn the whole wing on its side. If using a Concerto pack go to Step 8.
- Page 23 Step 8. If using a Concerto, with the wing laid on its side carefully close the zip (or clips) without trapping any material. Step 9. Make the first fold just after the LE reinforcements. Do not fold the plastic reinforcements, use 3 or 4 folds around the LE.

Page 24: Caring Tips
• Your Ozone wing has an opening closed using Velcro on the trailing edge of the tip called the ‘Butt hole’. This has been designed to easily empty all the things which have been accumulating in your wing (sand, leaves, rocks, mobile phones etc). -

Make sure to round off each corner of the patches. You can find more information about repairing your wing on the Ozone website, including step by step instructions with pictures. -
Page 26: Maintenance Checks
If you damage a line: Any line that is visually damaged MUST be replaced. Use a reputable paragliding service centre to make the replacement lines. Alternatively you can order them from your local Ozone dealer or directly from our website http://www.flyozone.com/paragliders/en/shop/lines.php It is important that replacement lines are made from the correct materials and diameters. - Page 27 Strength of the lines - An upper, middle and lower A line, along with a lower B line should be tested for strength. Lengths of the lines - The overall length (riser lines + mid lines + upper lines) has to be checked under 5Kgs of tension.
