2. Introduction Safety Instruction The cross canopy X-ONE is a parachute to be release by hand for paraglider pilots who are in an emergency sit-uation. Due to their design characteristics it is not suitable for the free-fall! The parachute, the suspension lines and their connection are not designed for an abrupt opening, because the necessary shock absorbers are missing.
The rescue device X-ONE 120 and X-ONE 160 by X-dream Fly are approved by the German airworthiness requi- rement LTF. The X-ONE 90 is approved only by Shock-Loadtest. The approval is valid only in use with the original X-dream Fly tube or 4-leaf Innercontainer. When using a X-ONE in the context of a non-original inner-container please note the corresponding release note in the appendix of this manual.
4. Throwing the X-ONE The reserve is very often literally the lifesaver the “Second Chance“ for the paraglider pilots. In the close flown airspace of many flying areas a collision should not be underestimated as a danger on good flying days. Collisions with other aircraft are one of the principal reasons to pull the parachute.

Such polluted parachutes have to be sent to the manufacturer for investigation and repaired if necessary. Repairs The manufacturer or authorized X-dream Fly Partners must perform all repairs. Correct disposal of the rescue equipment As an environmentally conscious manufacturer of rescue equipment we pay great attention to produce our pro- ducts Eco social tolerated.
7. Packing interval for the X-ONE Before the rescue is repacked it must be subjected to a visual inspection by the packer. The reserve parachute must therefore be aired at a humidity of 60 - 65% for 24 hours. The packing shall be done as possible on a packing table, but at least on a clean, antistatic surface.

(green arrows) on the right. The corner line with the two opposite (green and blue) arrows should be located down on the bottom. There are 8 panels at the X-ONE 90 and NOTE: 12 panels at the X-ONE 160. picture 3 Now we have to arrange panel by panel to the right (green arrows) .
Page 14
(X-ONE 120) . NOTE: At the X-ONE 90 there are three panels and on the X-ONE 160 there are five panels. picture 5 The following panel and as the same time the middle panel on the green side is the corner panel and should be placed as a triangle.
Page 15
picture 6 Keep on folding the panels on the green side till the panels with the two arrows pointing to each other is visible. Now we can fix the right side panels with some sand bags, this recommended especially for less experience packers. picture 7 Then we must move the left (blue arrow) panels over to the right ones (green arrow).
Page 16
Here you a can help yourself with sand bags. NOTE: The X-ONE 90 has one panel and the X-ONE 160 has three panels. page 16 of 32...

The fourth panel is a blue corner panel as already on the right side and is accordingly also laid down as flat as possible. NOTE: In the X-ONE 90 it is the third panel and on the X-ONE 160 it is the fifth panel. picture 11 The other panels are placed clean down till the top corner panel is achieved.

picture 12 picture 13 In the center of the canopy the middle line The base can be seen below with the centrally and the top should be recognizable located lines, all panels with the blue arrows are left through the slot. and all panels with green arrows are the right of the lines.
Page 19
picture 15 The corner panel is simply folded back to the left side. picture 16 The entire parachute is now rotated around it axis 180º to the left. This act is the most difficult and it is easier if two people working in sync for the rotation.
Page 20
picture 17 The left side panels with the green arrows are defined as S-curve to the right on the inner container width. The lines should now be centrally located in the middle of the rescue again. picture 18 The triangle panel get´s folded to the left on top to reach the inner container width.

picture 19 The packing line for holding the packing loops together can be removed now. It is important that this line is removed completely. Otherwise it will prevent the opening of the X-ONE! ATTENTION: Our rescue series X- ONE and X- CURVE will be provided from mid 2015 on with the new 4- leaf container. The packing method of the rescue is identical till image 19.
Page 22
picture 21 The inner container is placing on top of the existing S-turns. The slot of the inner container should look towards the lines. picture 22 The inner container should be closed now with the lines. Note that the central rubber closes first.
Page 23
picture 23 The lines are collected in S-folds so that it gives about 2 - 3 line bundles. Again, care should be taken that the excess of the line loops behind the rubber are kept as small as possible. From the last line groups to the main riser should be left 15 cm of lines for closing the cover part.
Page 24
picture 25 The cover sheet of the inner container should be closed with the rubber at the end of the slot and a final short line loop. The X-ONE is now ready for installation into the harness. The connection of the X-ONE to the harness shall be made due following the recommendations of the harness manufacturer (harness manual) .
Page 25
picture 26 The X-ONE should now be placed in S- curves. The length of the S- curves is depending on the size of the container. The length of the inner container from the X- ONE 90, X- ONE 120 and X-ONE 160 are different.
Page 26
picture 28 The leafs 1 - 4 of the inner container will be closed with the black rubber band in the correct order. The black rubber band is fixed trough the grommet with a line loop. IMPORTANT: This line loop on the black rubber band is made first, thereby the canopy is fixed in the container.
Page 27
picture 29 The lines are collected in S- folds so that it gives about 3 - 4 line bundles. Again, care should be taken that the excess of the line loops behind the rubber are kept as small as possible. picture 30 The line bundles are stowed away in the pocket of the cover sheet No.
Page 28
picture 32 Fold the cover sheet No. 5 to the right, push the black rubber through the eye of cover sheet No. 5and push the plastik stick trough the black rubber band. picture 33 Then insert the plastic stick back through the small hole in leaf No.
3. Implementation and installation The implementation and installation of a X-dream Fly rescue unit in the inner container of a third-party may be made only by trained personal by X-dream Fly. During the conversion and installation of the rescue the manual of the rescue as also of the harness - or inside container manufacturer - has to exist and the corresponding installa- tion and pack instructions need to be followed.
