DESCRIPTION
POWERSEAT LIGHT
When designing this harness, we took into
a ount suggestions of our test pilots, as
well as those of paramotor manufa turers
and regular users. The goal of this proje t
was to reate a very light PPG harness. We
su eeded in a hieving a weight of 2,35 kg
in M size, whi h was possible due to
extensive use of light and strong materials,
like arbon fibre or Dyneema.
Powerseat Light is manufa tured in three
sizes: S, M and L. The harness is equipped
as standard with ball-bearing Dudek Smart
Pulleys. Optionally, Ronstan 20 and
Ronstan 30 pulleys an be used instead.
The harness has two po kets: one on the
side and one under the seat plate. The
res ue para hute is pla ed in the side
ontainer. The ontainer and the side
po ket are inter hangeable.
Powerseat Light is meant for paramotors
with movable bars and low hangpoints. It
an be used with and PPG-dedi ated
anopy unless its produ er says otherwise.
The adjustment range of the harness will fit
all pilots. The harness straps system allows
for effe tive ontrol and full use of the
paraglider's apabilities.
Warning: Due to the use of lightweight
materials in the onstru tion of the
harness, it is more prone to damage and is
not re ommended for ompetition flights.

ASSEMBLY
Harness angpoint
Conne t to the paramotor bars as
des ribed by its manufa turer. Usually,
metal sha kles of proper strength are used.
Upper frame angpoint
Conne t to the upper part of the frame as
des ribed by its manufa turer.
Lower frame angpoint
Conne t to the verti al parts of the frame,
taking are that the onne tion is not too
short.
Note: too short onne tion here an lead to
damaging the harness.
Connecting t e lower end of t e
s oulder straps
Conne t them to the frame verti al parts in
the lower area of the frame. Ideally, use
dedi ated points, given that the paramotor
manufa turer provided them.
Carabiner loops
Put the arabiner loop on the frame bar
and lo k it with a rubber. Then you have a
ready hangpoint to onne t the harness to
the paramotor.

Safety straps

Before installing the res ue hute in a side
ontainer, atta h the V-riser to a
onne tion strap. Use the o-rings to keep
the straps in pla e on the metal qui klinks
(Maillon Rapide C6 or C7). Tighten the
qui klink with a wren h, so that it will not
get loose. Finally, se ure the onne tion by
putting on a neoprene over.
Install the release handle on the res ue
hute bag.
Note: Use the entral loop of the bag. Do
not fix the handle to side loops.
