- Page 11 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 2 - BEFORE USING 2.1 – Emergency parachute The emergency parachute compartment has been designed with a maximum volume of 6 liters, suitable for containing the most common models on the market. The container is located under the seat and it is necessary and mandatory to use its specific deployment bag with the integrated extraction handle included with the harness at the time of purchase.
- Page 12 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 2.1.2 – Connecting the emergency parachute to the harness There are three different systems for connecting the reserve parachute bridle to that of the harness. First system: Use a screw-lock carabiner with a breaking load of at least 2400 kg. In this case, the bridles must be secured inside the carabiner with rubber bands to prevent its rotation, which would otherwise result in dangerous lateral loading.
- Page 13 Wanì light 3 - User Manual Second system: The harness bridle is threaded into the loop of the reserve parachute bridle. Then, the reserve is passed through the large loop of the harness bridle. This creates a connection that must be tightened as tight as possible, to avoid dangerous friction between the two bridles during the emergency deployment shock.
- Page 14 Wanì light 3 - User Manual WARNING: To avoid abnormal lateral loads, the bridle must be attached to both loops on the respective shoulder straps—not just one. Do not store any object inside the bridle container. 2.1.3 – Inserting the emergency parachute Insert the parachute into the harness container with the handle facing outward and the lines pointing downward.
- Page 15 Wanì light 3 - User Manual Secure the flap as shown in the picture by threading the cord (previously inserted) through the eyelets of the flap, thus anchoring it to the elastic loops. Make sure at this stage that neither of the two zippers opens. Insert the two yellow plastic pins of the handle into the elastic loops and then under the Lycra cover of the flap.
- Page 16 Wanì light 3 - User Manual WARNING: Every new combination of emergency parachute and harness must be tested for proper extraction by an official dealer of either the harness or the parachute, or by a flight instructor. The test must be performed while suspended from a flight simulator, and the parachute must be perfectly extractable from the normal flying position.
- Page 17 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 2.1.5 – Emergency parachute extraction It is important to periodically locate the position of the deployment handle during normal flight so that the reflex movement to grab it becomes instinctive in case of emergency. In an emergency situation, the deployment procedure is as follows: - Locate the deployment handle and firmly grab it with one hand.
- Page 18 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 2.2 – Harness adjustments WANÌ LIGHT 3 offers the ability to adjust the backrest inclination, chest strap width, shoulder strap height, seat angle, and leg strap length to guarantee the pilot their optimal position. Finding this optimal position takes a bit of time, but it will be rewarded with exceptional flight comfort.
- Page 19 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 2.2.1 – Backrest adjustment This adjustment allows you to choose the torso inclination relative to the vertical flight axis. 2.2.2 – Shoulder strap adjustment The shoulder strap adjustment compensates for the pilot’s height variation, and the adjustment buckle is located at the top of the straps.
- Page 20 Wanì light 3 - User Manual At shoulder strap level, you will also find a small clip that acts as a shoulder strap lock and prevents the straps from slipping off your shoulders during take-off. The plastic clip also features a handy whistle, useful in case of emergency.
- Page 21 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 2.2.4 – Seat height adjustment This adjustment changes the angle between the thighs and the back (seat depth), distributing the load between the seat and the lumbar support, thereby providing greater comfort for the pilot. 2.2.5 –...

- Page 23 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 3.2 – Pockets In the flight configuration, WANÌ LIGHT 3 has a spacious rear pocket that can be used to store the rucksack, the glider concertina bag, and clothing. This pocket also includes a specific space to store a CamelBak. At the top of the harness, there is a small pocket for storing keys, wallet, or phone.
- Page 24 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 3.3 – CamelBak WANÌ LIGHT 3 is designed for the installation and use of a CamelBak or similar hydration system. Before takeoff, place the CamelBak inside the rear pocket, passing the tube through the hole located at the top of the pocket.
- Page 25 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 3.7 - Landing with WANÌ LIGHT 3 Before landing, slide your legs out of the seat board to assume an upright position. Never land in a seated position because it is very dangerous for the spine, even if you have back protection made of foam or Airbag, which only provides passive safety.
- Page 26 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 4 – FOLDING THE HARNESS The WANÌ LIGHT 3 comes with a rucksack in 4 sizes, which can be separated from the harness via a zipper. The pilot can choose, according to personal preference, whether to keep the reversible harness with the rucksack attached or use the harness and rucksack separately.
- Page 27 Wanì light 3 - User Manual There will be sufficient space in the upper part of the rucksack to store the helmet, instruments, and some clothing accessories. When preparing for flight, carry out the reverse steps and finally fold the rucksack into the rear storage pocket of the harness.
- Page 28 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 5 - FEATURES AND INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 5.1 - Installation and adjustment of the speed system After finding the optimal seating adjustment, the speed system stirrup must be adjusted. This harness is compatible with all types of speed systems. The elastic cord in front of the board that holds the speed-bar prevents the emergency parachute handle from getting entangled in the event of deployment of the parachute itself.
- Page 29 Wanì light 3 - User Manual 5.2 - Relax - bar All our harnesses can be equipped with a dedicated relax-bar. The relax-bar is used to keep the legs extended and the feet supported. This flying position is considered by some pilots to be more comfortable than the classic seated position with feet dangling.
- Page 30 We recommend paying close attention to how you use and store the harness, as correct usage will extend its lifespan. We wish you great flights and happy landings with the WANI LIGHT 3!
