Adjustments can be made to the shoulder straps leading trough the flat buckles to your
shoulders.
When correctly adjusted you feel only light pressure on both back and shoulder. If
shoulder straps are too loose you will feel pressure on your back from the lateral straps.
By pulling on them you change the position. If you feel pressure on your shoulders

The chest strap is secured with automatic Cobra buckle. The click must be audible ! By
adjustment of the chest strap the pilot determines the sensitivity of the harness.
Adjustment of the distance between the main carabineers is made by pulling loops on
chest strap. The harness is most sensitive to weight-shift when the chest strap is
released. The shorter the distance between the main carabineers the less sensitive the
harness becomes to weight shift and the effect of the special ABS-system is increased.
By pulling the loop on chest buckle the chest strap can be released. The special ABS-
narrower straps are leading from front of seat plate to the chest strap. By adjustment of
ABS straps the pilot determines sensitivity of the harness specially by use of speed

and during take off. If the leg straps are too tight your upright position in the harness is
limited and not comfortable. If they are too slack you can have trouble sitting in the
