3.Operatinglimits
Maximumspeedforusage:115km/h(32m/s)
Interval for repacking: 12 month, then the rescue system has to be repacked and this repacking has to be recorded in the
“Repackandinspectionlogbook”.
Duetotheeffectofwater,sand,saltorotherenvironmentalinfluencesmayreducetherepackinterval.
Interval of inspection: 24 month, then a complete inspection of the rescue system is necessary. The inspection has to be
recordedinthe“Repackandinspectionlogbook”.
Operational lifespan of parachute: 10 years. The lifespan can be extended for 2 more years if the rescue parachute is
inspectedyearlyduringthislasttwoyearsatthemanufacturer.Sothetotalmax.possiblelifespanis12years.

5.Modeofoperation
During an emergency situation while flying the pilot pulls at the release handle with a firm tug. Thereby the outer container
opensandthedeploymentbagisreleased.Afterthattherescueparachutepackage(whichisstillpackedinit´sdeployment
bag)have tobethrownwithadynamicmove intothefree airspace.That meanstherelease handlehavetobethrown away
togetherwiththedeploymentbag!!!
The deployment bag and the bridle are designed in a way which releases the lines and canopy of the parachute not before
theparachutepackageisthrownaway.
Thispreventsanunintentionalortooearlyopeningoftherescueparachute.Thisisminimizingthedangeroftanglingupwith
the paraglider / hang glider / pilot or the reason which maybe causal for the emergency case (e.g. collision with another
paraglider).
Moreover the maximum throwing speed of the deployment bag should be reached when the deployment bag leaves the
pilothand.
Ingeneral:Thefastertherescuesystempackageisthrownaway,thequickerthesystemwillopen.
After the throw the deployment bag opens and releases lines and canopy. The powerful throw and/or the airstream

Whentherescueparachuteisopenedcompletely,youfirsthavetocheckthealtitudeaboveground.
If you have still enough height you should try to make the paraglider unable to fly according to the doctrine to avoid an V-
positionoftheparagliderandtherescuesystem.

6.Usageofsteeringlines

altitudemustbepresent.Inaddition,theparaglidermustbeinastable,incapableflyingposition(bestis,iftheparaglidergot
disconnectedbyaquickoutrelease).
If these conditions are all met, the pre-braked steering lines can be unlocked by pulling both control handles symmetrically
down.Therescuesystempicksupforwardspeedbydecreasingtheuseofthebrake.
Thecontrol handlesare attachedtothe rightandleftofthe bridle,rightabove thesuspension point.The steeringisworking

The behaviour of the Trigon with non-activated steering lines is comparable with a conventional, not steerable
rescuesystem.

The use of a front container is possible, but the bridle of the rescue system must be extended for the use on the main
carabiners.Otherwisethecontrolhandlesaremountedtoolowandasteeringisnotguaranteed.Theextensionisavailable

harness.
Attention:
If the parachute is mounted to a harness or a front/outer container you have to check the compatibility. This check is only
allowed to be done by therefore authorizied persons. The compatibility check have to be noticed in the “Repack and
inspectionlogbook”.
Beside some other points you have to take care particularly that the connection length of the release handle to the
deployment bag is minimized. Therefore different loops are at the deployment bag where the release handle can be
attached.You shouldalways trytouse theshortest possibleconnection to ensurethat therescue parachute canbe thrown
as good as possible. But you also have to take care that the release of the container is not blocked in any way. (take care
thatthereleasepindoesnotblock!!!). Readthemanualoftheharnessinanyway.

19. Mounting / integration to a harness
Theadaption oftheTrigononthe harnessis possible atthe attachmentpointsfor rescuesystems in theshoulder areaorin
themainsuspension.
It must be ensured with every assembly that the risers of the Trigon are mounted in the right direction and side. For this
purpose,therisersaremarkedwith„R“forrightand„L“forleft,aswellas„front“forfront.
The conection of rescue systems must always be carried out with suitable connecting links that have at in sum least a
strenghtof2400daNforbothsides.
When mounting in the main suspension of the harness (for example with a separate front container), the risers have to be
extendedinordertoenablesteeringwiththecontrolhandles(alsoseethemanualforthefrontcontainer!!!)
When attaching to the shoulder straps, check that the harness has separate attachment points directly on the shoulder
straps.Whethertheseareavailableandsuitablecanbeseeninthemanualoftheharness.Theusewithanexistingbridleof

The riseres of the Trigon is normally long enough to be routed to the harness´s rescue system container. If this is not the
