Before your first take off
Before you start adjusting the harness, it is highly recommended to check the
components of the harness. Harness consists of:
• Harness
The harness is easy to accommodate with the following reserves:
(they are not part of the standard harness package)
• SKY SYSTEM (all sizes)
• SKY SPARE LIGHT(all sizes)
• SKY LITE (all sizes)
• SKY DRIVE
Probably, it will be very easy to accommodate any other standard reserve into the reserve container.
Please, carefully follow the instructions how to assembly the reserve in the harness. See bellow.
9
Adjustment
It is highly recommended to make the adjustments only if you have equipped the harness
with the reserve.
Shoulder straps
Adjust the straps to fit your height. If you fly with the shoulder straps too tight, you might
encounter some difficulties with the take off.
Leg straps
Adjust the leg straps so that it is easy and comfortable for you to sit into the harness right
after the take off without using your hands to help. If you make the leg straps too tight it
might be pretty uncomfortable in flight and the easy take off will not be paid off by the lack
of comfort later.
