3.3 - Camel-bak

WANÌ LIGHT 2 is designed for camel-bak or similar hydration system 
installation and use both in rucksack and in harness configuration. Be-
fore take-off, position the camel-bak in its special compartment inside 
the rear pocket. Pass the hose through the plastic hole which is already 
set at the top of the harness and run it under the two elastic straps of 
the left shoulder-pad as shown in the photo. During transport, leave 
the camel-bak inside the rucksack and have the hose exit from the spe-
cial hole set in between the shoulder-pads.

3.4 - Tandem flying

WANÌ LIGHT 2 can be used for a tandem passenger

3.5 - Flying over water

Using WANÌ LIGHT 2 on flights over water is not recommended. In the 
event of forced landing in water, there is the possibility that the pro-
tection, still full of air, will hold the pilot under water.
Woody Valley recommends using a suitable life jacket when flying abo-
ve water.

3.6 -Winch launch

WANÌ LIGHT 2 harnesses can be used for towed launches. The tow bri-
dle release should be hooked directly to the main karabiners, ensuring 
that the karabiners are positioned with the opening bar facing the rear. 
For further details see your tow hook instructions or ask a qualified 
towing instructor at your air field.

3.7 - Landing with WANÌ LIGHT 2

Before landing, slide your legs out of the seat so that you take up a 
standing position. Never land in the seated position; it is very dange-
rous for your back even if you have foam dorsal protection or Airbag, 
which provides exclusively passive protection. Standing up before lan-
ding is an active safety precaution, and it is much more effective than 
passive forms of protection.

3.8 - Disposing of the harness

The materials used in a paragliding harness require correct disposal. 
Please give your harness back to us instead of throwing it away, we’ll 
take care of its correct disposal.

3.9 - Regulations for behaviour in natural environments

Please respect the nature and landscapes that surround us when 
practising sport. Do not leave marked trails, do not dispose of waste, 
do not make loud noises and please respect the delicate balance that 
exists in the mountains.

4 - REFOLDING THE HARNESS, STOWING THE GLIDER AND USING THE 
RUCKSACK

To pass from harness to rucksack configuration, completely open the 
back pocket and enlarge the backpack inside. Turn the entire structu-
re upside down and fold the seat against the harness back, leaving 
the whole set of belts and buckles inside the sandwich that is created 
between the back and seat. Take the rear part of the harness pocket 
and position it about the sandwich, locking everything using the red fa-
stex fasteners. Put the previously folded paraglider above the harness 
air bag.
