1. Safety
Paragliding is a potentially hazardous sport. When flying a paraglider you have to accept risks of injury and/or even death. Incompetent
or improper use of the harness may increase those risks. In case of any doubts please ask your dealer or manufacturer.
Dudek Paragliders do not bear any responsibility for damages or injuries resulting from paragliding activities.
2. Description
When working on the harness we took into consideration all suggestions - those of the test pilots, regular users and paramotor
manufacturers. Our main task was to keep high comfort of operation without increasing weight. Powerseat Comfort is designer for both
novice and experienced PPG pilots. It can be used for both high and low highpoints harnesses. It is suitable for any powered paraglider
(if the manufacturer will not indicate otherwise). Wide adjustment range allows the harness to fit any pilot's needs. Strap system offers
safety and stability, yet leaves plenty of space for starting run, effective steering and full exercise of the glider's capabilities. Harness is
ready for using the speedsystem.
3. Additional equipment
Carabiners PowerSeat Comfort is sold without carabiners.
Cockpit. If you are going to use the cockpit, the rescue chute should be placed on right or left side of the harness.
Frontcontainer. Allows for fixing the rescue chute in front.
Side container Allows for fixing the rescue chute on side.
V-strap, trapeze and rectangle closed quicklinks. Necessary to attach the rescue chute with the harness. If the rescue chute is to be
connected to the V-strap without a metal quicklink, then the two closed trapezes will be enough (to connect the V-strap to the harness).
Speedbar. Speedbar is necessary to operate the speedsystem.
4. Installing the rescue chute.
The rescue chute installed beforehand within front- or other container must be connected to the V-strap. Two methods are acceptable:
with a metal connector (rectangular quicklink C6 or C7) or without it. Both methods are pictured below.

Both ends of the V-strap must be connected with trapezoids to red cloth covered points on the harness as shown below. These are the
very points used for main carabiners connecting the harness with paralider’s risers. The ends of the V-strap must be secured with elastic
0-rings. Trapezoids connecting V-strap to the harness must be tightened with a wrench, so they won’t get loose due to e.g. vibration. Vstrap must be placed In tunnels on top and side of the backrest (left or right side).
