Welcome to the world of light and high performance gear! The DELIGHT3 is a Cross-country lightenough to go hiking with. Its minimal weight and size make it a good choice to carry to takeoff with ease. The air mass is translated to the harness without parasitic interference and hence providing the right environment for refined and efficient piloting. It was designed with schooling and fun in mind to provide full comfort and a worry free learning curve.

The DELIGHT3 harness was certified EN 1651: 1999 and LTF Nfl II 91/09. Indicating that it meets European and German safety requirements.

After reading this manual, we suggest you to check your harness in static hang-posts to adjust it before your first flight.

Size choice

Choosing your harness’ size is important. You will find here below a height/weight table that will help you in your size choice. With its hammock architecture and its “lying flat” flying position, we advise you to try out the harness under a hanging device at one of our retailers in order to choose the correct size.

Connecting the wing to the harness

Without twisting the risers, connect them to the harness attachment loops using the self-locking carabiners. Check for the risers to be properly positioned and untwisted. The «A» risers must be located at the front and facing the flight direction (see diagram). Lastly, check for the main self-locking carabiners to be fully closed and locked in place.

Install the accelerator by following the instructions found on page 11. Connect it to the wing using the split hooks. Once the accelerator/speedbar is connected, adjust its length according to your measurements. For correct use, there must not be any tension at the split-hook level when the accelerator/speedbar line is fully relaxed.

Flight behavior

The DELIGHT3 is designed to long technical flights. Its behavior is predictable, precise and stable enough to be used with a precis high level reactive wing, not necessitating heavy weight shiftingor high performance modern wings reactive enough to necessitate heavy weight shifting. By removing the seatplate, the harness follows the pilot’s body contour around the hips, becomes more stable and less precise. When flying outside the wing’s recommended limitations without the seatplate, the glider demands greater pilote imput.

SUPAIR | DELIGHT3 | page 23

Harness User’s manual | DELIGHT3

• Fully close the chest strap buckles.

• Close the Speedbag closing buckle to the right side.

• Close the Speedbag closing buckle to the left side.

• Check that the harness and the carabiners are not damaged

• Make sure that the reserve parachute safety cables to ride through the closing tabs keeping the reserve rescue pocket flaps closed.

• Check that your personal settings haven’t changed.

• Check that all zippers and buckles are closed.

• Check that the speedbar is correctly connected and set up.

• Check that no rigging line or other object comes in contact with rescue parachute handle.

• Make sure that the self-locking carabiners are locked and connected to the paraglider.

Flight phases

During takeoff, maintain a standing posture and grab the Speedbag with one of your heels once far enough from the ridge. Using the foot-rest, push yourself inside the harness.. With help of the foot-rest, push yourself back into the harness. The Speedbag closes and the Cockpit positions itself automatically.

Do not release your hands from the brakes when you are close to terrain.

Pre-Flight control

Take-off

After a thorough weather conditions analysis, when the decision to fly has been taken, put your harness on and follow the next steps

SUPAIR | DELIGHT3 | page 24

Harness User’s manual | DELIGHT3

Please set the distance between the two carabiners according to aerology and to the wing manufacturer’s recommendations.

We recommend a cautious speed-bar use due to the increased risk of major partial or full frontal collapses.

Use the speed-bar/accelerator ( transitions ) only when far away from the ridge and in calm weather conditions as the wing becomes more sensitive to turbulence when accelerated. If you feel a loss of tension in the speed-bar/accelerator, stop pushing it and apply a light brake pressure on the toggles to prevent the glider from experiencing a potential frontal collapse.

To properly use the speed-bar, keep one foot at the foot-rest center space, and push with the second foot on the first speed-bar to obtain a symmetrical acceleration. Use one foot for the rst stage and the other for the second stage.

To decelerate, stop pushing and gradually release the accelerator/speedbar tension.

When making a landing approach, take your legs out of the Speedbag well in advance. Stand up inside the harness and adopt an upright position in order to run and dissipate the horizontal speed. Always be certain to have enough altitude to make a landing approach corresponding to the weather conditions of the moment and terrain. During the landing approach, never make hasty maneuvers. Always land upwind in a standing posture and be ready to run upon touchdown if necessary. During high wind speed landings, turnaround and face the wing as soon as ground contact is made and move toward the wing while braking symmetrically to deflate it.

Do not land in a seated position as it is dangerous.

Landing

SUPAIR | DELIGHT3 | page 25

Harness User’s manual | DELIGHT3

It is strongly recommended to frequently check your reserve parachute handle location while in flight. This exercise should be executed instinctively and will increase your chances of a successful parachute extraction in case of an emergency.

Estimate your AGL ( Altitude Above Ground Level ), which if high enough may make it worth trying to bring your wing back to a normal flying configuration. If in doubt, quickly deploy your emergency parachute.

Deploying a rescue parachute should be done only in an emergency.

With a strong, lateral and then vertical tug, pull the handle towards you and then throw the parachute away from you ( including the container and its handle ) toward a clear unobstructed area of the sky. As soon as the parachute deploys, bring as much of the glider as possible toward you by pulling as symmetrically as possible on the “C” or “D” risers or on the toggles/brakes. Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position, with knees together and legs slightly bent. Prepare to roll down with pivoting shoulders in a paragliding fall (PLF).

Using the reserve parachute

Towing

To takeoff under tow, you must be equipped with a quick release specially designed for the task. Connect the tow bridle to the wing riser loops with a Dyneema adaptor with a resistance greater or equal to 300kg. The tow bridle will then be fastened by using a lark’s head knot or an adapted metal link. To complete the installation, follow the tow bridle reales manufacturer’s recommendations.

Mandatory controls

- Ascertain parachute deployment functionality by pulling the handle to activate a clean POD extraction sequence

- Inspect the harness for wear and tear.

An annual deployment and repacking of the reserve parachute must be conducted by competent and certified personnel.

SUPAIR | DELIGHT3 | page 26

Harness User’s manual | DELIGHT3

Care

It is a good idea to clean your harness from time to time. We recommend using a brush and soft solvents only ( soap or mild cleaning agents ). Rinse thoroughly. Never use aggressive chemicals such as strong solvents which could be harmful to the harness’s fabric, webbings, stitching and weaken its integrity.

The zip fasteners should be lubricated from time to time, using a silicon spray. If you regularly use your harness in a dusty environment ( dirt, sand, etc... ), we advise you to regularly check and maintain your carabiners and buckles: clean them with a mild detergent, then blow dry them fully but DO NOT LUBRICATE! Prior to using them, conduct a thorough carabiners and buckles checkup to insure their full functionality. If you use your harness in a marine/sandy/salty environment, pay particular attention to your gear and follow a rigorous care/maintenance routine.

If your dorsal foam protector is more than 5 years old or has been subjected to 2 significant shocks, replace it by a new identical model.

BUMPAIR dorsal protector damage after substantial impact(s). It must be replaced by a new one after two (2) substantial impacts or five (5) years of use ( whichever comes first ). The threads and fabric used for the manufacturing of the DELIGHT3 were specifically selected for their quality and resilience levels. However, in particular instances such as long term UV exposure, abrasion, contact with damaging chemicals, general wear and tear, the harness will need to be inspected at a professional certified repair facility. Safety comes first!

The self-locking carabiners are NEVER to be used for any activities other than paragliding.

When not in use, your harness should be stored inside your paragliding backpack, in a dry, cool and clean place, protected from UV exposure. If your harness is wet, please dry it thoroughly before storing.

For transport, protect the harness from any mechanical or UV deterioration (use a bag). Please avoid long transports in wet conditions.

Once every two (2) years, a thorough harness inspection must be conducted :

• Webbing wear and tear (no excessive wear, no rip beginning, no unwanted folds)

• Buckles and carabiners ( functionality, wear and tear ).

• BUMPAIR dorsal protector damage after substantial impact(s). It must be replaced by a new one after three (3) substantial impacts or three (3) years of use ( whichever comes first ).

Independently of the pre-flight check-out, you have to open and unfold your rescue parachute once every year.
