DUAL 2 manual EN version 7 February 2020
4. Preparation
Setting up
1. Select a suitable take-off area determined by wind and terrain, clear of any obstacles that may catch in the
lines or damage the canopy.
2. Open out your paraglider so that the bottom surface is facing upwards, with the openings at the downwind end of the
take-off area.
3. Unroll the canopy to each side so that the leading edge openings form a semicircular shape, with the trailing
edge drawn together as the centre of the arc. The risers should be drawn away from the canopy until the
suspension lines are just tight.
Trimmers
The Dual 2 comes with long-travel trimmers. For take off and landing it is best to release the trimmers 30mm from
their fully-trimmed position. This intermediate position is marked with white stitching. The wing will come up more
easily with this setting.
In flight, pulling the trimmers in fully to their slowest position lightens the brake pressure. If you are flying near the top
of the weight range, you can fly with the trimmers in this position all the time except for take-off and landing. If you
are flying near the bottom of the weight range, it is better not to fly at fully-slow.
Regularly check the wear of the webbing and make sure that the system works freely without sticking points. Worn
trimmers can be easily replaced by the pilot. The Dual 2 is delivered with a spare set of trimmers.
