SETTING UP THE CONTROLS 

NOTE!! If in doubt about the brake-line adjustment, it is preferable to leave them too long, 
as any necessary shortening can easily be achieved by wrapping them round your hand.  

The length of the control lines for free flying measured from the first cascade line is:  

320 cm for Eden 5-22,      335 cm for Eden 5-24,       350 cm for Eden 5-26,  

365 cm for Eden 5-28,      380 cm for Eden 5-30 ,      395 cm for Eden 5-33. 

The available brake travel before stalling the wing depends on the size and loading.   
By max. load it is approximately  

55cm for the Eden 5-22,        61cm for the Eden 5-24,         63cm for the Eden 5-26, 68cm 
for the Eden 5-28,            70cm for the Eden 5-30     and    75cm for the Eden 5-33.  

(The publication of the brake travel is claimed by the EN 926.) 

Fitting the speed-system: 

Most modern paramotoring harnesses have pulleys for speed system fitting. The Eden 5 
speed system is supplied with Brummel-hooks and must be assembled as per instructions. 

Take your speed bar and make sure it is firmly attached to the foot stirrup (webbing or alloy 
bar) using a bowline or other non-sliding knot. Take off the Brummel hook on the speed bar 
cord if you haven’t already done so. Hold the free end of the cord and run it  through the 
pulley on each side of your paramotor harness. Next, lead the cord up to meet the 
Brummel-hooks on the riser  of the paraglider. Firmly attach  the Brummel  hook on the end 
of the speed bar cord so that Brummel hooks can be attached to each other.  Ensure both 
cords from the speed bar are equal length to avoid putting an unwanted turn in the glider. 
The length of the cord leading to the foot bar stirrup should be adjusted so that it is easy to 
put your feet into the stirrup in flight but still short enough to allow full speed system travel. 
(The use of 2 stirrups in a ladder fashion can enable you to reach the full range if your legs 
are not long enough.)  

Test your speed system for the correct length on the ground by hanging your 
paramotor to simulate the real flying position. While you are a few feet off the 
ground, attach your risers to your harness and have someone hold them while you 
try pushing the speed system checking for proper length and set up.   

The full range of the speed system is reached when the 2 pulleys on the risers join 
together. Before launch, attach the glider's risers to the harness with the main carabineers 
first before attaching the speed system. Ensure that the speed system is untangled and 
operates freely before flying. There should be a spare inch or so before the speed bar 
activates the speed system. Remember that it is always safer to set the margin of play too 
big than too small.
