Attachment of the connection belt with the harness
For connecting the two belts use a fixable 24 kN- snap
hook with a diameter of 8 mm. It is very important that
the snap hook cannot twist to prevent traverse stress of
the snap hook.
Therefore use cable fixer, adhesive tape or strong rubber
bands and pull it
above and below the snap hook
around the belts.
Another fixing method is to put the belt of the
rescue system through the connection belt of the
harness and than the rescue system trough the
harness belt as shown in the photo.
It is just as very important that the knot is very
tight fastened.
Therefore use cable fixer, adhesive tape or
strong rubber bands and pull it
above and below
the knot
around the belts.
Pay attention to the symmetry of both lines.
Neither side of the loop must be longer than
the other.
In order to avoid unwanted release of the rescue system, the
closing splint must be held with a special thread (50 N) which
is made with certified material. This special thread can be
purchased from ICARO.
A higher breaking force could otherwise endanger the
release of the rescue system!
Compatibility- check
A control of every new combination of rescue system and harness/outer container
has to be carried out by either the producer of the harness or the rescue system or
an authorized person (dealer or flight instructor). The activation of the rescue
system in flight position has to be correct and in conformity to the construction
guidelines.
The check has to be recorded in the documentation of the rescue system.
The throwing movement should be practiced every time the rescue system
is repacked.
