The linesystem:
The lines of the U Prime are made of strong and stretch resistant Liros PPSL, Teijin Aramid
and Liros DSL.
The lines of each level have specific
colors to help you to sort the lines and for better orientation
The risers (accelerated/ not accelerated):
The 4 level risers of the U Prime are adjusted on the same length -the zero position.This
allows an uncomplicated handling at start.

The brakeline is running through the pulleys on the D-risers to the brake handles. The brake
pulley is attached to a strap, to give the pilot the biggest freedom in choosing the best
position.
The final adjustment of the brakehandle-position depents on the harness, the pilots size an
the individual habits (check chapter adjustment possibilities).
Speedsystem:
The speed system increases the maximum speed by lowering the angle of attack with a
pulleyguided, foot-operated system.
It is important to have your accelerator system correctly routed through your harness and
attached to the risers with the supplied Brummel hooks. The length of the speed bar should
be initially adjusted while on the ground, sitting in the harness so that the legs are fully
extended at the point of full accelerator travel.
It is helpful to have an assistant hold the risers taut while making this adjustment.
Subsequent fine tuning can be done on the ground following the first flight with the speed
system. If in doubt about this procedure, consult your instructor or dealer.
At full travel of the speed system the A-riser is shortened 9 cm, the B-riser 7 cm and the C-
Riser 5 cm . The D-riser keeps the original length.
