6.1 Attachment to Frame
The SLT LOW MKII is designed to attach to almost all frames designed for use with low attachment hang points.
The Harness is equipped with multiple attachment points. Due to the large variety of Frames and attachment methods available today, we recommend following the
specific frame manufacturer’s instructions for correct fitting and adjustment of the harness to the frame, or have your dealer assist.
6.2 Adjustment
Once the harness is correctly attached to the frame, do a thorough hang check, checking the frame / thrust angle with the tank at least half full, and wearing
approximately what you wear while flying to ensure perfect balance. Make sure that the hang angle is not just optimised for thrust, but also that the brake handles
are not too close to the frame. Practice getting into and out of the seated position, make sure the transition is easy both ways, and adjust before flight if needed.
6.3 Reserve Container Installation
The SLT LOW MKII is compatible with the Zipped-on Emergency parachute container (Code: 80029).
It can be installed on the left or the right-hand side of the harness, or even one on each side of so desired.
It is recommended to have this done by a professional – consult your dealer. Consider your preferred side for the reserve
carefully, taking into consideration your dominant hand, and which side your throttle is installed etc.
Installation Instructions:
Install the Reserve into the container according to the container instruction manual, making sure that the bridle comes
out of the container from the correct position, according to which side the reserve will be installed on the harness.
Install the pair of light universal bridles (Code: 42025) onto the shoulder reserve attachment points on the harness with
larks head knots, using the bridle ends with the smaller loops. Close the Velcro scuff guards over the attachment points,
and route the bridles through the Velcro bridle guides on the desired side of the harness.
Attach the reserve to the pair of bridles using a larks head knot by passing the two large loops of the bridles through the
small loop of the parachute bridle, and then passing the reserve container through the two large loops. Ensure that the
knot is neat and centred on the loops.
Zip the Container onto the harness and close the overlapping Velcro’s at the ends of the zip.
Now stow the excess bridle and knot in the bridle inside the reserve container.
Do a hang check and logical inspection of the system, ensure that the bridles are not routed under any straps, speed bar lines or swing arms, so that once
deployed, the bridles will be free to suspend the pilot directly from the shoulders.
Deployment Instructions:
The reserve is deployed by hand and should be done in the following sequence:
Look, Grab, Pull, Throw. The reserve handle is attached to the reserve deployment bag, and the handle must be released when throwing the reserve.
If running, cut the engine! Once the reserve parachute is inflated, it is recommended to disable the glider, ideally, if there is enough time, by pulling it in so that you
are holding the entire canopy in your arms. It here is not enough time, try to stall the wing by wrapping the brakes and pulling as much as possible, or by locating
the B-Risers and pulling them down. This will stabilize the decent by preventing the reserve and the main from opposing each other – aka down planning, which
increases the sink rate significantly.
Repack Interval:
The reserve parachute should be repacked according to the reserve manufacturers recommendations, all other parts, such as the reserve bridles should be
inspected regularly, and replaced if looking worn, or older than five years.
