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.
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 XXLLiigghhttis 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 XLight.

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 back protector and the reserve before you make the adjustments
of the SSOOLL-Harness.
Your safety is assured by straps integrated in the harness, by tablet beneath the
seat, to avoid perforation and by the back protector.
Never carry instruments that may perforate the harness backing in case of impact!
Back protector installation
Attention
The back protector has to been installed through the back pocket! You have to use the back protector from SSOOLL for XXLLiigghhtt. With the use of other
protectors the harness looses his certification.
It´s very important to fix the protector against movements. After a hard landing on the protector, the harness and the protector has to be
examined for damage.
A damaged protector could not further be used, cause probably he doesn´t match any more the test results. The certification expired. A change is necessary – it´s also in your interest an safety. Please let all parts of the harness be examined. The activator for the reserve has to function 100%, also the mechanism of the carbiners.
If necessary, you should ask for professional help to make sure it is properly function.

Carabiners´installation
A
Attention
Carabiners: Pay attention at each installed carabiner of the permission and/or
other references of the producer. You have to look out regularly for thin fissures and/or mal-function. The carabiner has to close always 100%.
If you choose to change the carabiners (even made of steel) at least each 5 years
or after 250 flight hours you are making a wise decision.
Accelerator installation
All necessary buckles to adjust the speed system are found on the harness' body. Follow the instruction in the image.
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. If necessary, you should ask for professional help to make sure it is properly installed.
11
Attention
Image 6 and 10: Pull the bridles firmly to stop an involuntary opening, this avoids a dangerous friction in the event of a reserve opening.
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 18), 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!
Installation of a external reserve compartment
If you use en external or extra reserve (for example in the cockpit) make sure
that this reserve is fixed well to the bridles of the harness. Pay extra attention that the bridles are free and are not in any way an obstacle for you or parts of the harness in case of the activation.
If necessary, you should ask for professional help to make sure it is properly function.
13
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.
Flight position
Avoid a laying flying position, as this alters the paraglider's commands:
Your command is shortened
More vulnerable to a twist

Attention
The leg setting cannot be too tight, to avoid jeopardizing good movement. Make sure the setting is symmetric.
Shoulder adjustment
Attention
The adjustable chest strap is fixed on the shoulder strap. This is for your comfort and safety. They better be aligned with the shoulders. In the lock is integrated an emergency whistle
16
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:
S 40cm M 42cm L 44cm XL 46cm
We have included a tape with your harness to help you set the exact measurement of distance between the carabiners.

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 XXLLiigghhtt 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 se wing-oil.
The cover could avoid to see the leg locks. Make sure that the locks are closed before you close the cover.
Tandem flight
Your SSOOLL XXLLiigghhtt harness is not designed for tandem flights.
23
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. In case of water landing open as fast as you can the locks and get out off the harness.
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.

Maintenance, repair and cleaning
Storing the equipment
Maintenance
Your SSOOLL Harness has to be sent regularly to the manufacturer or an authorized repair facility, in order that a professional inspection be performed.
A new licensed harness has to be sent for inspection after two years. All other inspections have to be made once a year.
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.
25
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.
26
Lagerung
Das Gurtzeug sollte nicht lange im Kofferraum des Autos oder unter extremer Sonne liegen, da zu große Hitze sich auf die Materialien und/oder Funktionssicherheit auswirken kann. Sonneneinwirkung respektive die ultraviolette Strahlung zerstört zudem die Molekularstruktur des Materials.
Eine Lagerung nahe Feuer und/oder scharfkantiger Gegenstände solltest Du vermeiden. Weiter sollte jeder Kontakt mit säurehaltigen Flüssigkeiten vermieden werden. Im Zweifelsfall, nach Kontakt, frage Deinen SSOOLL-Händler.
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.
Out of use
If your glider gets out of use remember it cannot be recycled. Please give it to your distributor or your flying-school, they should know how handle it.

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.
