DESCRIPTION

The skywalk PEPPER CROSS LIGHT is characterized by high reliability and strength, fast 
opening time with low sink rate, high pendulum stability, low weight and small packing vo-
lume. Its symmetrical design reduces drift to a minimum, directional flight is not speci-
fied. The PEPPER CROSS LIGHT reserve chutes are cross-cap centerline reserve chutes 
with retracted apex and divided panels. Optimized layout and differentiated air permeabi-
lity due to special processing and material mix result in a reserve chute of the most mo-
dern design. Robust materials guarantee that the reserve chute stays in top-notch shape 
for many years.

PLETED TRAINING COURSE AS WELL AS THE LICENSE REQUIRED FOR THE RE-
SPECTIVE COUNTRY. ANY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION OF THIS RESERVE 
CHUTE WILL RESULT IN THE INVALIDATION OF THE TYPE APPROVAL.

RELEASING THE RESCUE SYSTEM

The PEPPER CROSS LIGHT is a reserve chute for paragliding and is only approved for this 
purpose. Use the reserve chute only in an emergency! To deploy the reserve chute, follow 
these steps:

>  Pull the rescue handle firmly. The outer container opens up and the pilot is now holding  
  the rescue system still packed in the inner container.
>  Throw the container into free airspace with a hefty swing. The more powerful the throw,  
  the faster the lines of the reserve chute will extend and accelerate the opening process.
>  Immediately after the reserve chute opens, draw the paraglider in toward you to avoid the  
  two canopies forming a V-position. This is best done via a B-line or C-line stall, by pulling  
  down both brake lines until the glider stalls, or by pulling down one of the risers and/or 
  several middle lines.
