ThankyouforchoosingOzone.
TheOzium2isanincrediblylightweightXCpodharnessdesignedforadventureying.TheOziumconcepthasbeenwellprovenduringsev-
eralyearsofintensevol-bivyingandtwoeditionsoftheRedBullX-Alps,thetoughestandmostbrutaladventureraceintheworld.Wetook
theX-Alpsprototypesandaddedabitmoredurabilityanduser-friendliness,makingitanexcellentchoiceforpilotsseekingalightweightpod
systemthatiscomfortableandfeaturesaverylowpackvolume.TheOzium2buildsonthesuccessofitspredecessorwithaddedfeatures,
renedgeometry,andimprovedadjustmentsystems.Inaddition,itisevenlighter.Pilotscannowchoosefromarangeofpodoptions-the
interchangeablepodsallowacustomisedlevelofdurabilityandwarmthintheair,andeasyreplacement.
Asateamoffreeyingenthusiasts,competitorsandadventurers,Ozone’smissionistoproduceparaglidingequipmentofthehighestqual-
ityusingcuttingedgedesignsandthebesttechnicalmaterialsavailable.OurdevelopmentteamisbasedinthesouthofFrance.Thisarea,

thedevelopmentoftheOzonerange.Weknowthatqualityandvalueformoneyareessentialconsiderationswhenchoosingequipment,so
tokeepcostslowandqualityhighwebuildallourwingsandharnessesinourownproductionfacility.DuringproductionallOzoneproducts
undergonumerousrigorousqualitycontrolchecks.Thiswaywecanguaranteethatourequipmentmeetsthesamehighstandardsthatwe
expectourselves.

UNDER-SEAT MOUSSE
TheOzium2comesasstandardwithanLTF/CEcertiedfoambackprotector.Cleverlydesigned,itoffersexcellentimpactabsorptionproperties
despiteitslowweightandvolume.Availableasanoptionisthe‘FullMousse’protection,alsocertiedtotheLTF/CEstandards,itoffershigher
levelsofcomfortandprotectionbutwithahigherweightandvolume.
Anoptionalrigidplateisavailableforthestandardbackprotector,howeveritisnotcompatiblewiththeFullMousseversion.Theplateimproves
theoverallcomfortandprotectionlevelsoftheharnesswhilsttheaddedrigiditygivesamoredirect,responsivefeeltoweightshiftandtotheair.
Upondeliverytheunderseatmoussemusttobeplacedintothestructureoftheharness.
Insertthemousseintothesecond,rearmostzippedpocketlocatedundertheseat.Donottrytoforceitinto
thesmallerfrontballastpocket.Themousseismarkedtopandfront,ensurethatitisinsertedcorrectly,the
narrowendshouldbefacingforwards.
Itshouldbeasnugtbutyoushouldbeabletoclosethepocketwithoutforcingthezip.
Theoptionalrigidplateislocatedinthebackprotectorpocketandsitsbetweentheseatandtheprotector.Slidetheplate

SPEED SYSTEM
Alightweightintegratedspeed-lineisincludedasstandard.AwebbingForzaacceleratorspeedbarisavailable
asanoption.Thespeedsystemisalreadyinstalledbythefactorybutifyoueverneedtochangeit,forexample
whenupgradingtotheForzaspeedbarfollowthesesteps.
Firstuntiethebarfromthelines.Routethefreeendofoneofthelinesdownthroughthesmallreinforcedslit
foundonthesidepaneloftheharness.
ThenpassthelinethroughtheRonstanpulley,ensuringthatthepulleyisnot
twistedbeforeroutingthelinethroughthesmallgapintothepodcompart-
ment.
Ensurethat the linesrun cleanly between thepulleys and passon the outsideof all structuralwebbingstraps. Double-check thelines have not
inadvertentlywrappedaroundanyofthestructuralwebbingstraps.Attachthespeedbartothefootplatewiththebungeeandthentothespeedbar
linesusingabowlineknot.Repeattheprocedureontheotherside.Onceintheair,andwhenitissafetodoso,checkthatyoucanplaceyourfoot
onthebareasilyandthatthesystemoperatessmoothlyallthewaytofullspeed.
IMPORTANT: The speed bar lines must be of equal length, ensure they are not too short as this will inadvertently
activate the speed system when under tension in the air. Always double-check lengths and symmetry whilst on the
ground before ying.
RESERVE PARACHUTE INSTALLATION
The Ozium 2 has an integral reserve parachute container with its own specic parachute deployment bag. The reserve pocket is certied for
parachuteswithavolumeofbetween3and6ltr,itwillacceptmostmodernrescueparachutesincludingtheAngel140andsteerableRogallotypes.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use the deployment bag supplied with the harness.
WARNING: Ozone strongly recommends that the reserve parachute system is installed by a qualied professional.
Always seek experienced advice if you have any doubts.
Makesureyouperformapracticethrowfromastatichangpoint.Notonlydoesthisensurethecorrectfunctioningofyourdeploymentsystemitalso
allowsyoutobecomemorefamiliarwiththeinstallationprocess.
Please note, the parachute can only be deployed with the right hand.
To install a reserve parachute you should rst pack the parachute so that it matches the shape and
dimensionofthesupplieddeploymentbag.
Inserttheparachuteintothe deployment bag and securethedeploymentbagwiththelines
inthenormalway.Dependingonthesizeofyourparachuteyoucanuseeithereyeletforthe
bestt.

Attachtheharnessbridlestotheparachute’sbridleusingasuitableconnector(notsupplied).
Please note, the Ozium 2 is only suitable for reserve parachutes with a short bridle.
Open the reserve parachute container on the rear of the
harnessbyopeningthezips.Placethedeploymentbaginthe
space provided with white arrow on the deployment handle
facinguppermost sothat itmatches the white arrow on the
harness, the parachute lines should be underneath and the
handlepositionedcorrectlyasshown.
Payattentiontothebridles.Donotallowthemtobecomeentangled,theyshouldremainneatlyinplace
tothelefthandsideoftheparachutewheninserting.
The container can be closed by running both zips
forwardtowardsthereserveparachuteopening,allthe
waytotheeyelets,andthenbackagainunderneaththe
harnesstosecurethezips
Gentlypulltheparachutehandleandtopapoutofthewaysotheyareclearofthebottomaps

Finallytheendsofthenylonpinscanbeneatenedintotheavailabletunnelasshown.
Beforeyourrstight,werecommendtosuspendtheharnessfromasuitablystrongpointtocheckthat
ittsyoucorrectlyandtobecomefamiliarwiththefeaturesandadjustments.Youcansettheshoulder
adjustment-strapstondthebestt,andadjustthelumbersupportsothattheyleaveyouinacomfortably
reclinedposition.
To put the harness on rst place the shoulder straps over your
shouldersandbringtheleg/cheststrapthroughyourlegs.
Fastentheleg/cheststrapbyplacingthemalebuckles throughthefemale

SHOULDER STRAPS
ThelengthoftheShoulderstrapscanbemodiedusingtheadjustmentstraps.Adjusttheshoulderswhilst
standingupwiththeharnessonsothattheyarecomfortablysnug.Whilstsuspendedintheseatedposition
ensurethestrapsarecomfortableandsupportive,theyshouldnotbetootightnortooloose.
LUMBER SUPPORT
TheLumbersupportshouldbeadjustedforacomfortableyingposition.Preciseadjustmentscanbemadeintheair
sothatyourlowerbackiscompletelysupportedandthereisnotensioninyourstomachmuscles.Besuretoadjustthe

LEG STRAPS/CHEST STRAP
The length of the leg straps and chest strap affects the overall stability of the harness. For maximum
weightshiftthecheststrapandlegstrapsshouldbeleftintheirlongestposition.Forgreaterrollstabilitythe
strapscanbetightened.Itisimportanttotestyandadjusttondthepositionthatisbestforyourstyleof

FINE TUNING OF THE POD
Theharnesshasbeensetupsothatitwillsuitethemajorityofpilotsandfurtheradjustmentsshouldnotbenecessary,howeverifyouwishtomake
changesitispossibletodoso.Thismustbedoneonthegroundandisnotpossibleintheair.Thefootplateattheendofthepodissupportedby4
lines(purple),thesecontroltheoveralllengthofthepodandtheangleofthefootplate.
Minoradjustmentstotheoveralllengthofthepodcanbemadebymovingthepositionoftheknotsonthe
upperanti-forgetlines(grey)andthelower(purple)knots.
Theangleofthefootplatecanalso bechangedbymovingthe
positionoftheknotsonthebottom(purple)lines.
IMPORTANT: If any adjustments are made, make sure that the lines are symmetrical. If you do choose to make a
change, take your time to nd the position that suites you best, only make small adjustments each time.
