Bolero 7 user manual

If the brake lines are too long, the paraglider reacts slowly and is di
ä
cult to land. The brake lines can
be adjusted during
fl
ight by wrapping them around your hands which will improve the
fl
ight
characteristics. Adjust the brake lines to the correct length after you have landed. Changes to the
braking distance should always be made in small increments of no more than 2 to 3 cm and must be
tested on a training slope. The left and right brakes must be adjusted symmetrically.
If the brakes are shortened, care must be taken that the paraglider is not slowed down in trim and
accelerated
fl
ight. Safety issues may arise and performance and launch behaviour may deteriorate if
the brake lines are shortened too much.
If the brake lines are too short, the following risks could arise:
Ɣ
there could be an early stall
Ɣ
the paraglider does not launch well and there is a risk of deep stall
Ɣ
the paraglider shows dangerous
fl
ight characteristics
Ɣ
the trailing edge of the paraglider is braked in accelerated
fl
ight which, in an extreme case,
could cause a frontal collapse
