(1) Shoulder straps
The optimum setting for the shoulder straps depends on the
height of the passenger. Step into the harness and stand
upright with the breast strap closed, symmetrically adjust the
shoulder straps until they are a snug fit, but not tight.
To tighten: pull down on the grey
webbing strap
To loosen: pull up on the BLACK webbing strap
(2) Lateral Straps
The lateral straps adjust the angle between the thighs and
the back. Lengthening the straps increases the angle and
vice-versa. The easiest way to adjust them correctly is
during a flight in calm air. Remember that flying in the
supine position (i.e. leaning back), reduces the stability of
the harness and increases the risk of riser twists after a
deflation.
To tighten, pull forward on BLACK and Grey webbing strap
To loosen, pull back on the BLACK webbing strap
(3) Leg straps
The correct adjustment of the leg straps allows the pilot to
easily reach the sitting position after take-off without using
his hands. Use the buckles to adjust the leg straps so that
they fit comfortably without being tight; make sure you do it
symmetrically. If you need to lengthen the leg straps, first
check that the shoulder straps are not too tight.
