About SSOOLL
Founded in 1991, after six months of research and many visits to several
manufacturing facilities and suppliers, SSOOLL began its production in partnership with the
European brands Condor, Comet and Nova, and became autonomous in 1999 with its
own testing and development centers.
From the beginning SSOOLL has adopted the philosophy of utilizing certified designs,
manufactured with imported materials of the highest quality by specialized and skilledtrained staff.
In 1995, the company moved to its current facility, occupying an area of 3.400 m² and
has at its disposal a team of about 140 employees, of which many are pilots. SSOOLL
provides a comprehensive benefits package such as Health Plan, Life Insurance,
partnerships with pharmacies, transportation vouchers, incentive getaways to
employees who outperform each month, and education grants.
At SSOOLL, we take extreme measures to maintain our machinery and manufacturing
equipment current with the world market. This way, we safeguard our accuracy
everyday in the production process, control and assuring the high quality of SSOOLL brand
and products throughout more than 70 countries around the world.
SSOOLL
is one of the few paragliding enterprises worldwide to have its own manufacturing
facilities able to test every new model before making it available to the market, which
fosters the reliability necessary for excellent performance when flying.
In early 2004 SSOOLL became certified by DHV, which is the most respected regulating
body of free-flying worldwide. Its mandate is to make sure its members have the
capacity to reproduce faithfully the certified equipment on an industrial scale. Few
facilities in the world possess this certification in their manufacturing process. SSOOLL was
one of the firsts to obtain it!
This is just one of the great accomplishments of this young and dynamic company,
which presently is among the ten major paragliding and accessories manufacturers in
the world!

Philosophy
SSOOL
L's philosophy is to introduce products that are considerably better than current
ones, in order to guarantee significant advancements in four aspects: Safety,
Performance, Ease of Operation and Innovation.
Safety: The new product has to offer a level of safety that is at par or better than the
one it is replacing.
Performance: The new product must perform better than the one it is replacing.
Ease of Operation: The new product must display higher levels and better operational
ease than the one it is replacing.
Innovation: New products must display real benefits to the user, facilitating free-flying,
increased safety, or both.
The development process and design of every new product begins at the computer.
Drawing Software, 2D, 3D modeling and simulation are utilized before the actual
manufacturing of prototypes, in order to ensure greater accuracy in each new design.
Introduction
SSOOLL
is producing a complete line of
modern paragliders: from teaching to
competition and acro all pilots will
find their paragliders.
Since we are often in the air - testing
our gliders, for fun or breaking world
or national records - it was only logic
to develop our own harness to assure
the evolution in safety, performance, ease of operation and innovation.
As in any other product of SSOOLL, we are using always the best and most carefully chosen
materials, they are granting a long life and a high security standard. All SSOOLL paragliders
are manufactured in our own industrial park.
The harness CCaalllliippllooxx RReevveerrssíívveell is a version of the well-known harness Mountain Light
Calliplox. But it is more comfortable and can be used as a backpack. Light and small it
can be used by all pilots. The harness has an integrated back-protector Airbag Cygnus.
The back-pack is comfortable and has solutions for long walks. The integrates system
for the reserve corresponds the European norm LTF/EN DHV GS-03-0375-10 in all
aspects (120 kg). In this manual you will find all important information about using
your new equipment Calliplox Reversível .

Adjustments and installations
The SSOOLL-Harness provide a variety of adjustment possibilities, so that the pilot is able
to find his/her ideal flying position. The first adjustment must be done in a simulator
where you can be hanging in order to make the adjustments. It may be necessary to
take a few testing flights until the ideal setting is achieved, but the pilot will be
rewarded with amazing comfortable flights.
For your first flight, choose calm weather conditions. Should you need to make further
adjustments, it will be easier to find the ideal position after this first flight.
Attention
• Please install the carabines, the accelerator and the reserve before
you make the adjustments of the SSOOLL-Harness.
• Never carry instruments that may perforate the harness backing in case of
impact!
Carabiners´installation
Attention
Carabiners: Pay attention at each installed carabine of the permission
and/or other references of the producer. You have to look out regularly for
thin fissures and/or mal-function. The carabine has to close always 100%.
If you choose to change the carabines (even made of steel) at least each 5 years or
after 250 flight hours you are making a wise decision.
8
Carabiners opening
The chest strap is responsible for the carabiners opening, depending of the paragliders
size. Depending on the paraglider size, there is a measurement of the carabiners
opening to which the paraglider was designed and tested. With SSOOLL paragliders you
must fly within these measurements. In case you are outside these measurements, the
paraglider's behavior can not correspond to the certification:
We have included a tape with your harness to help you set the exact measurement
of distance between the carabiners.
S 40cm
M 42cm
L 44cm
XL 46cm
For better orientation we marked the chest strap. If
you see the mark in the center of the hook the
carabiners opening is 42 cm.
Attention
You have to obey the opening in the
paragliders owner manual to maintain the certification.
Water compartment
Your harness CCaalllliippllooxx RReevveerrssíívveell has at
its disposal a water compartment
located in an aero dynamically efficient
place in the rear pocket with easy
access. Through an aperture you can
pull the tube.

Baggage pocket
Your equipment should be stored in the baggage
pocket to avoid mal-function of the Airbag.
Installation of the accelerator
All necessary buckles to adjust the speed
system are found on the harness' body.
Follow the instruction in the image.
Installation of the accelerator hook
Follow the instruction in the
illustration.
Attention
Adjust the accelerator in the simulator to avoid surprises during flight.
10
Reserve parachute installation
Visualize the details of how to execute the reserve parachute installation. The purpose
of this illustration is to help you understand the process. I necessary, you should ask
for professional help to make sure it is properly installed.
Attention
Image 4 and 9: Pull the bridles firmly to stop an involuntary opening, this
avoids a dangerous friction in the event of a reserve opening.
11
Attention
The SSOOLL-Harness features a reserve parachute installation system with
easy access at the moment of grab and throw, by possessing an activator
which has a shorter connection. Some layers of fabric covers the entrance
recipients destined to the reserve (Figure 19), protecting the parachute from dust and
humidity. In case the pilot lands on water and gets the reserve wet, the reserve should
be removed from the harness, be dried and re-packed before it is placed back into the
recipient (see the reserve manual).
Attention
Before every flight, inspect the activation handle and its pins, to
make sure they are at the correct setting position.
After the installation you should make a test.
The container's size takes to account the reserve size which would be normal
for the pilot's weight x harness size. There might be the case when large
reserves may not fit adequately in the smaller size harness.
Never throw the reserve in flight-direction.
Pay special attention to the
fact in which direction you must
pull your reserve in order to
throw it out.
12
Reserve compartment
The reserve parachute compartment on your
harness was designed for most of the parachutes in
the market. In any case, you must install, simulate
and perform all testing, so that you will not have any
surprises in case you need to activate it. Any
questions concerning its operation must be dealt
with during the installation and setting of the
harness before the first flight.
Attention
Never sit down in your harness for tests or other activities when it is
layed on the ground, this can damage the harness, the rescue container
and the whole rescue system
The reserve has to be packed and checked every year. This has to
be done by an authorized workshop. Pay attention to the references in the
owner's manual for your reserve. Each check is to be marked in the check
protocol of the reserve.
Reserve installation: After the first and each following installation has to be
made a test (for ex. 2-years-check) to secure that the applicated force to pull
the reserve lays between 2 and 5 daN. In case of a first combination between
harness and reserve there has to be made a test of compability. This test has to
me made from an authorized person or workshop!
Harness adjustment for flight
Before the first flight, we suggest the pilot simulate his/her flying position hanging the
harness on a harness tester, sitting on SSOOLL Harness and trying to find the best position
adjustment. This simulation becomes more realistic if the back pocket is filled with
objects the pilot would normally carry during flight.
After adjusting the back, the pilot must choose the best body inclination, respecting a
central vertical line. We don't advise a steep inclination, so that vision and access to
commands are not jeopardized.
The shoulder strap is adjustable, varying according to the pilots' height. For better
comfort, the shoulder straps support part of the dorsal weight. The pectoral strap
regulates the distance between the two carabiners, which varies depending on the
paraglider's size.
The legs' straps adjustment is very accommodating and allows for a wide range of
heights. SSOOLL Harness is equipped with leg locks, which works together with the
pectoral strap, making the connection of pilot and harness.
13
Flight position
Avoid a laying flying position, as this alters the paraglider's commands:
• Your command is shortened
• More vulnerable to a twist
Harness adjustment
Visualize the details of how to adjust the CCaalllliippllooxx RReevveerrssíívveell for flight:
Front adjustments
Attention
The leg setting cannot be too tight, to avoid jeopardizing good
movement.
Make sure the setting is symmetric.
14
Lateral adjustment
Shoulder adjustment
Cockpit
The harness allows for the attachment of a
special reservoir
( container )
, where the pilot
may carry his / her electronic instruments
during flight.
Attention
This reservoir cannot be used if the emergency parachute is mounted on
the frontal position. In this case, it is possible to acquire a container
which will fit the reserve parachute and the instruments.
15
Towing attack system installation
Your SSOOLL-Harness can be flown by tow, as long as it is
attached to the towing flight system (Towing Attack
System). In turn, this must be fitted on the same
carabiners that link the harness to the paraglider,
being activated by an elastic band conveniently
located, which when pulled, releases the equipment
for flight.
Please refer to the instructions concerning flight by
tow in your paraglider's manual.
Adjustment and use of the backpack
1. Take up the backpack and use
your knee as support. Put on
the shoulder straps.
2. Adjust the safety strap and
make sure the backpack fits on
the waist and helps to carry
the weight.
3. Adjust the shoulder straps till
your comfortable.
4. Use the upper straps to adjust
the weight distribution.
5. Adjust the chest strap in the
way that he doesn't disturb your
running,

How to pack
Final check
Before you begin flying with your new SSOOLL Harness, make sure to perform the
following inspection in detail:
• All pockets are closed?
• The reserve parachute handle is in the correct position?
• Each hook (chest / leg) is connected and closed?
• The carabiner opening is correct?
• Using the harness CCaalllliippllooxx RReevveerrssíívveell make sure that all
hooks are closed, pay attention to the audible "click".
Also pay attention that no dirt or ice is getting in the
mechanism. If necessary lubrificate with sewing-oil.

Water landing
Usually safety courses are taught over water, or a poorly calculated landing may force
you to land in the water. In this event, you must be careful since the protector at the
first moment will act as a floating device, therefore forcing your head into the water
and you could be in danger of drowning. The foam, already saturated with water will
get heavy and may naturally sink.
After a water landing you must take the column protector off, seat board, reserve
parachute, all lateral protectors and let them all dry under shade in a breezy area.

L-Harness with third party paragliders
SSOOL
L - Harness doesn't have any usage restriction when combined with other brands of
paragliders. Refer to your paraglider's manual.
Maintenance, repair and cleaning
Maintenance
We recommend that your SSOOLL Harness be sent to the manufacturer or an authorized
repair facility (licensed once every two years), in order that a professional inspection be
performed.
Avoid dragging your SSOOLL Harness on the ground, on rocks or on wet surfaces.
Prolonged exposure to UV light (sunlight), humidity and heat must be also avoided to
prevent early and unnecessary material deterioration.
Zipper
The zipper must open and close softly. If there is any
difficulty to move it you must apply paraffin or a spray
lubricant to diminish the attrition among the components.
You will notice the difference when
you move it.
It is possible most of the times you fix
by yourself the zipper. In case it does
not close any more just pull it until the beginning of the position
and with a pliers press both sides of the zipper.
18
Pulleys
It is important you keep pulleys lubricated because in case they do not work may
consume the speedy handle or axle, apply paraffin or lubricant spray, read carefully
about the lubricant to avoid spots and fabric consume. Do not apply on the sewing
lines.
Cleaning
Cleaning must be performed only when it is absolutely necessary. We recommend the
use of water only with a smooth sponge or cloth. Do not use any chemical product,
since it will damage the material permanently.
Recommendation for a long life
The harness fabric is made mainly out of Nylon, which like any other
synthetic material is sensitive to UV light radiation, causing it to
decompose and losing its mechanical resistance. For this reason, the
unnecessary exposure to sun light, which carries a high UV radiation
level in high altitudes must be avoided. It is highly recommended to
leave the harness stored away and well protected when it´s not being
used.
Avoid storing the harness for long periods in areas with high humidity or heat, this
causes premature aging of the materials. Keep away sand, stones or snow from
entering the harness cells because any weight on the trailing edge slows the canopy
down, possibly creating a stall, furthermore, sharp corners may cut the fabric.
In case of salt-water contact, the harness must be soaked and washed with fresh
water. Salt water might decrease the sewing resistance even if soaked with fresh
water.
Never dry the harness directly under the sun. This must be done in a shaded area.
After drying send the harness for inspection to the manufacturer or distributor.
After an accident or long time without using the paraglider must be checked.
Avoid storing the glider near fire and/or sharp objects. Any contact with acids should
be avoided. In case of any doubts ask your distributor.
19
Inspection and repairs
The first inspection check is mandatory completing 24 months or 100 flights,
whichever comes first. After the first inspection any harness has to be checked yearly
or at each 100 flights, whichever comes first.
In case of excessive use (permanent spirals and other extreme maneuvers) the period
of inspection has to be shorter.
It is of utmost importance to follow these guidelines. Without performing the
mandatory inspections, the harness loses its certification and the respective SSOOLL
warranty becomes null and void.
Always check your equipment after an incident or in case the harness has been stored
for a long time.
Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer, distributor or authorized
personnel. Minor repairs could be handled by yourself, although we recommend that
repairs should be performed by the manufacturer or authorized personnel. They have
the necessary materials and tools to maintain your harness. Replace materials only
with the originals. Using any other the harness will lose his certification.
Nature and environment
Please fly in accordance to preserve nature and environment.

Final words
Safety is the major theme of our sport. In order to fly safely, pilots must train, study,
practice and be alert to the dangers around us.
In order to achieve excellent safety levels, we must fly regularly as much as possible,
don't go beyond our limitations and avoid exposing ourselves to unnecessary dangers.
Learning to fly is a slow process and takes years, so don't pressure yourself. If
conditions are not favorable, keep your equipment stored away.
Don't overestimate your skills and be honest with yourself. Every year we see many
accidents which in most cases could be prevented with a minor adjustment.
We are a part of the community in which we live: friends, family and even people we
don't necessarily know worry about us. Our obligation towards this community is to
keep ourselves healthy and that at each landing we will be one landing happier than
before. We fly so that we can feel more alive.
We wish you good and safe flights with your CCaalllliippllooxx rreevveerrssíívveell.
