2.Safety
Paragliding is a potentially hazardous sport. When flying a paraglider you have to
accept risks of injury and even death. Incompetent or improper use of the harness
may increase those risks. In case of any doubts please ask your dealer or
manufacturer. Aygunfly do not bear any responsibility for damages or injuries
resulting from paragliding activities.
3.Installing the back protector
The Maki has a 17,5cm back protector that is easily installed through the back
compartment. To install the back protector simply open the zipper at the bottom of
the back pocket. The back protector should slide easily into place and fit neatly inside
the back protector compartment.Finish by closing the zipper to the back protector
compartment.
4.Reserve parachute
The housing for the reserve parachute is below the seat in the front part of the
harness. The container is large enough for most reserve parachutes on the market
today. The reserve parachute has to be linked to the harness before it is inserted into
the built-in pocket.
5.Connecting the deployment handle to the deployment bag
The black loop attached to the handle itself should be passed into the loop on the
deployment bag, and then the entire handle should be passed through its own loop
and pulled tight. For easier extraction, the loop attached to the deployment bag
should be positioned laterally with respect to the centre of the reserve parachute. If
your deployment bag does not have this loop.

6.Connecting the reserve parachute to the harness
The reserve parachute bridle is passed through the loop at the end of the harness
reserve parachute bridle. The reserve parachute itself is then passed through the
large loop in the reserve parachute bridle. This connects the two bridles. The loops
should be pulled as tight as possible to avoid any chance of dangerous friction
developing between the two bridles during the shock caused when the reserve
parachute opens.
Alternatively, attachment of the connection belt with the harness.

7.Inserting the reserve parachute into the harness
Insert the reserve parachute into the pocket of the harness, so that the handle is
visible and facing outwards, and the loop connecting the handle to the deployment
bag is facing upwards.Thread a thin cord through each elastic loop. This will help
close the pocket. Thread the elastic loops into the smallest of the eyelets on the
pocket flaps. Close the flaps following the order shown in the photographs below.
Push the metal pins on the handle into the elastic loops and under the transparent
cover. It is essential to remove the cords after this operation. The cords should be
pulled out slowly in order not to damage the elastic loops by excessive friction. Lastly,
the handle should be positioned under the elastic cover.
Secure one of the pins with a thread which has a predetermined breaking point. This
thread ruptures at a load of 5 kg.
IMPORTANT:
Every new combination of reserve parachute and harness or the external container
assembled for the first time should be tested by an official harness or reserve
parachute dealer, or by a flying instructor. Deployment of the reserve parachute
should be perfectly feasible from the normal flying position.
