Before  you  fly

Make  sure  your  dealer  has  checked  the  harness  for 

completeness  and  basic  settings.  Your  harness  must  be 

assembled 

by 

suitably 

qualified 

paragliding 

professional,  for  example,  your  instructor.  Before  your 

flight,  you  have  to  make  sure  the  connection  with  the 

pilot  and  the  glider  using  the  spreader  bar  by  carabinner.

Adjustments 

Adjust  your  harness  to  suit  your  physique  and  flying  style.  It  is 

important  to  adjust  it  correctly  to  ensure  you  can  easily  slide  into  the 

sitting  position  after  take  off.    A  poorly  adjusted  harness  can  adversely 

affect  the  flying  characteristics  of  your  paraglider. 

Perform  adjustments  before  your  first  flight  by  hanging  in  a  simulator 

and  fine-tune  the  settings  if  necessary  during  your  first  few  flights.
