ThemissionoftheFazer seriesistoofferthemostversatilespeedwingpossiblewithperformanceand
easeofuseforbothfootlaunchandskilaunchying.TheFazer3’squickandpreciselaunchcharacteristics
areidealforsummerfootlaunching.Theredesignedtrimmersystemoffersanewmodeofsteepightwith
reducedefciencyandincreasedstabilityforwinterspeed-riding.Ataveragewingloadingsfootlaunching
isattainableevenforintermediatelevelpilots,andwithtrimmersreleasedthewing’sglideperformanceis
reducedtothepointthatcarvingterrainonskisorslowingthewingdownforfully-unweightedskiturns
becomesmanageable.
Thankstoitslowaspectratioandreducedsailweight,theFazer3staysstableoverheadandtrackswith
theskiereffortlesslywhenweightistransferredawayfromthewingtotheslope.Whiletheavailabletrim
adjustmentis signicant, there is alsoplenty of glide range availableusing brakes only. This extended
brakerangeisusefulinsituationswheresinkratemustbereduced,forinstancewhendynamicsoaringin
wind.Therangeisprogressiveandgivesplentyofwarningbeforestall.
Duringtheination,likeitspredecessorthewingsnapsupimmediatelyandsymmetrically.Theproleis
reinforcedateverycell,ensuringanopenleadingedgeforquickination.Withnotendencytoovershoot,
theFazer3settlesoverheadandisreadyforclifflaunches,steepskilines,orarunningstart.Youcantailor
thelaunchbehaviortoyourneedsbyadjustingthetrimmerstotaste.
InightthecompactfeelingoftheFazer2remainshowevertheFazer3ismoredynamic.Rollbehavior
hasbeenincreasedslightly,butremainsverymanageable.Barrelrollsarequickerandthewingcontinues
through the roll with less input needed. The stability makes for an extremely precise, smooth, and
condence-inspiringrideforpilotswhoareshavingterrain.
Wemaintained the swoopabledesign and are power ofthe Fazer 2,but improved speedin the dive.
Transitioningoutofthediveonbrakesishighlyeffectiveandthelargeamountofenergyretentioninthe
wingmakesit easytoshaveoffthe altitudeintinyincrementsduring yournalturn.Riserscan alsobe
used,butgentleparagliding-styleinputsareneeded.TheFazer3isnotaparachute.
TheFazer3isidealforexperienced speedyingpilotswhen heavilyloaded,butisstillverysuitablefor
newerpilotsatlighterwingloadings.ChooseyoursizecarefullywiththeadviceofyourOZONEdealeror
instructor.
The Pack
TheMountainPackislargeenoughtocarryastandardharnessandspeedwing.Itisalsoequippedwith
externalstrapsthatcanbeusedtocarryskisorsnowboardsandotherequipment.Werecommendalways
usingappropriatesafetyandrescueequipmentwhentravelinginthebackcountryinsnowconditions.
The Atak Harness (Optional)
The Atak is a special harness developed for speed wing ying. The hang-points, structure, and pilot
positioning are all specically engineered for speed-ying pilots. Your Atak harness is adjustable for
uprightandsemi-reclinedying,althoughmostexperiencedspeedyingpilotsprefertobeinanupright
positioninordertomovefromseatedtoskiingquicklyandeasily.
Brake Lines
Thebrakeline lengthshavebeensetcarefully duringtesting.Itshouldnotbe necessarytochangethe
lengths.However,ifyoudochoosetoadjustthem,dosoinaprogressivemannertoensurethattheyare
notover-shortened.
Risers
Yourwinghas3risersperside.TheAriseriscoveredwithcolouredwebbing,whichmakesthemeasy
toidentify.
Trimmers
Thetrimmersystemcanbeusedtoincreaseordecreaseyourangleofattack.Werecommendbecoming
veryfamiliarwithyourwingbeforeusingthetrimmersystem.
Total weight in Flight
Thewinghasbeensuccessfullyloadtested,withoutdestructiontoabove6gwithaloadof120kgs.Donot
exceed120kgsinight.Choosethesizesuitableforyourusualsiteandexperience,donotythesmaller
sizesunlessyouareaveryexperiencedspeedyingpilot.
IMPORTANT
In the unlikely
event of a brake line
snapping in ight, or
a handle becoming
detached, the glider
can be own by
gently pulling the rear
risers (C-risers) for
directional control.
IMPORTANT
Never y with your
trimmers released in
turbulent conditions.

SpeedWingyingisstillarelativelynewsport.Becauseofthis,youareanambassadorandrepresentative
andweask thatyoupleasesetapositive exampletoensurethesuccessfulfuture ofthesport.Please
be responsible, and practice safe conduct. Never practice ying on populated ski slopes or pistes! It
is expressly forbidden to y in populated areas. When on snow, always carry with you all necessary
avalanchesafetyandrescueequipment.
Neverattempttoyunlessyouhavereceivedinstructionfromacompetentspeed-yinginstructor.
Youmustbe responsible when youynear any ski area. Contacttheski resort safety servicepriorto
yingnearorataskiarea.Taketimetoexplainthesportandbeclearthatthesportisneverpracticed
onpistesornearotherskiers.Aclearpresentationwithphotos,video,andadetailedsafetyexplanation
isnecessary.
Alwayscarrytheavalanchesafetyandrescueequipmentnecessaryforbackcountryskiing.Inanyalpine
environmentthefollowingequipmentisnecessary:avalanchetransceiver,shovel,probe,backprotection,
andhelmet.Itisabsolutelyessentialtochecktheweatherforecastandsnowconditions.Takeanyadvice
fromqualiedresortsafetyexpertsorhighmountainguides.
Youmustbeacompetentskierandparagliderpilotbeforeyouattempttoyonsnow.
Donot y byyourself. Always usethe buddy system and be aware of the location and safetyof your
partners!
Acro Flying
SpeedWingpilotingisdangerous.Acroyinggreatlyincreasesthedangerandthereforeshouldnotbe
attempted.Yourwingisstableinightandloadtestedto6Gs,butwedonotrecommendyingacro.
Pilot Health
Flying exerts very high stresses on the human body. Pilots must ensure that they are physically and
mentallytenoughtocopewiththesestresses.Knowyourlimits.
Topreparethewing,layitoutonthetopsurfaceandperformathoroughdailycheck.Youshouldinspect
thetopandbottomsurfacesforanyripsandtearsoranyotherobvioussignsofdamage.Layoutthelines
onesideatatime,holduptherisersandstartingwiththebrakelines,thestabilo,C,BandAlinespullall
thelinesclear.Makesuretherearenoknotsortanglesandlaythecheckedlinesontopoftheprevious
set.Mirrortheprocessontheothersideandtheninspectthelinesforanyvisualdamage.Theninspect
therisersforanysignsofobviousdamage.
Tofamiliariseyourselfwiththeglideritisagoodideatoperformpracticeinationsandsmallightsona
traininghill.Thiswillenableyoutosetupyourequipmentcorrectly.
Take-off checklist:
1.Helmetonandfastened
2.Allharnessbucklesclosed-checkleg-loopsagain
3.Karabinersandmaillonstight
4.HoldingtheArisersandyourbrakehandlescorrectly
5.Leadingedgeopen
6.Alignedinthemiddleofthewinganddirectlyintowind
7.Airspaceandvisibilityclear
Harness
Itisimportanttosetupyourharnesscorrectlybeforeyingthewing.Makesuretospendtimeadjusting
your harness’s different settings until you are completely comfortable. The chest strap should be set
between42cmand48cm(betweenthecentreofthehangpoints).

BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
EN
09
08
Launching
Afteryourdaily inspection and pre-ight check,yourwing may be launched witheitherthe forward or
reversetechniques.
Forward Launch - Nil to Light winds
Whenthewindisfavourable,whilstgentlyholdingtheArisers,moveforwardpositively.Yourlinesshould
becometightwithinoneortwostepsandthewingwillimmediatelystarttoinate.Youshouldmaintain
aconstantpressureontherisersuntilthewingisoverhead.Donotpulldownorpushtherisersforward
excessively,ortheleadingedgewilldeformandpossiblycollapsemakingtaking-offmoredifcult and
potentiallydangerous.
Movesmoothlythroughouttheentirelaunch, there is no needtorushorsnatchatit.Youshouldhave
plentyoftimetolookupandcheckyourcanopybeforecommittingyourself.Onceyouarehappythatthe
wingisinatedcorrectly,acceleratesmoothlyoffthelaunch.
Reverse Launch - Light to Strong Winds
Layoutyourwing asyouwouldfortheforwardlaunch.However, thistimeturntofaceit,passing one
entiresetofrisersoveryourheadasyouturn.Nowyoucaninatethegliderwithyourbodyweightand
theA-risers.Oncethewingisoverhead,releasetherisers,brakegentlyifnecessary,turnandlaunch.
Instrongerwinds,bepreparedtotakeafewstepstowardsthegliderasitinates.Thiswilltakesomeof
theenergyoutoftheglideranditwillbelesslikelytooveryyou.Thisreverse-launchtechniquecanbe
usedinsurprisinglylightwindstoo.
Towing
DonottowlaunchyourFazer3.
Turning
To familiarize yourself with the wing, your rst turns should be gradual and progressive. To make
coordinatedturns,rstlookinthedirectionyouwanttogo,thensmoothlyapplythebrake.Itisasmall
dynamicwing,so take it easy tobeginwithand learn the responseofthewing before steepening the
turns.Toregulatethespeedandradiusofaturn,coordinatewithweightshiftandusetheouterbrakeif
necessary.
Active Flying
Tominimizethelikelihoodofsufferingcollapsesinveryturbulentconditions,itisessentialtouseactive
ying.Theseareskillsthatarebestlearntbyplayingwiththegliderontheground.Flyingwithasmall
amountofbrakeapplied(approx.20cm)willallowyoutofeelthefeedbackfromthewing.Inturbulent
conditionstheinternalpressureofthewingisconstantlychangingandonlybyusingasmallamountof
brakewillyoufeelthesechanges.Theaimofactiveyingistomaintainaconstantpressurethroughthe
brakes,Ifyoufeelareductionorlossofpressureapplythebrakesuntilyoufeelnormalpressureagain.
Onceyouhavenormalpressure,raisethehandsquicklybacktotheoriginalposition.Avoidyingwith
continuousamountsofdeepbrakeinroughairasyoucouldinadvertentlystallthewing.Alwaysconsider
yourairspeed.
Nopilotandnogliderareimmunetocollapses.However,activeyingwillvirtuallyeliminateanytendency
tocollapse.Whentheconditionsareturbulent,bemoreactiveandanticipatethemovementsofyour
wing,returnthetrimmerstotheslowposition,alwaysbeawareofyouraltitudeanddonotoverreact.We
stronglyadviseyoutoalwayskeepholdofyourbrakesandnottoyinturbulentconditions.
Landing
Choosealandingareathatissmoothandfreeofobstacles.Theapproachspeedcanbeveryfastand
requiresan accurate are. Flarethe wing byapplying both brakes atthe appropriate moment. Doing
thiswilldecreaseyoursinkratetoalmostzeroandallowyoutotouchdowneasily.Nevermaketurnsor
aggressivemaneuversclosetothegroundoronyourlandingapproach.
•Alwayssetupforyourlandingearly,giveyourselfplentyofoptionsandasafemarginforerror.
•Oncebelow30metresavoidturningtightlyasthegliderwillhavetodivetoacceleratebacktonormal
ight. If you are at low altitude, or if you hit sink, this could mean you hit the ground harder than
necessary.
•Leanforwardoutofyourharnessbeforetheactuallanding(especiallyifit’sturbulent),withyourweight
leaning forward against the chest strap, and make sure your legs are ready for the landing and a
possiblePLF(parachutelandingfall).
NOTE
The Fazer 3 will launch
and inate easily with
or without A riser
input if you pull it
evenly from the hips.
IMPORTANT
Never take off with
a wing that is not
fully inated or if you
are not in complete
control of your wing.
IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at
minimum speed (i.e.
with full brakes on) as
you could risk entering
a spin.
IMPORTANT
Always keep hold of
your brakes. Do not y
in turbulent conditions

• In light winds/zero wind, you need a strong, long and progressive are to bleed off all your excess
groundspeed.Instrongwindsyourforwardspeedisalreadyreduced,soyouarearingonlytosoften
thelanding.Astrongaremayresultinthegliderclimbingupwardsandbackwardsquickly,leavingyou
inavulnerableposition.
•Choosetheappropriateapproachstyleinfunctionofthelandingareaandtheconditions.
•Instrongwindsyouneedtoturntowardsthegliderthesecondyourfeettouchtheground.
Rapid Descent Techniques
Donotattempt paragliding rapid descenttechniquessuch as Big Ears, B-Stalls,orSpirals. Your wing
hasahighsinkrateandyoushouldalwaysavoidyinginconditionswhichmightrequiretheuseofrapid
descenttechniques.
Deflations
OzoneSpeedwingsareverystableandareresistanttodeationsorcollapses.
Duetotheexibleformofaparaglider,turbulencemaycauseaportionofthewingsuddenlytocollapse.
Thiscanbeanythingfromasmall30%(asymmetric)collapsetoacomplete(symmetric)collapse.
Ifyouhaveacollapse,therstthingtodoistocontrolyourdirection.Youshouldyawayfromtheground
orobstaclesandotherpilots.Asymmetric collapses should be controlled byweightshiftingawayfrom
thecollapseandapplyingenoughbraketocontrolyourdirection.Thisactionalonewillbeenoughfora
fullrecoveryofthewingmostofthetime.Returningthetrimmerstotheneutralpositionwillaidrecovery.
Onceagliderisdeateditiseffectivelyasmallerwing,sothewingloadingandstallspeedarehigher.This
meansthegliderwillspinorstallwithlessbrakeinputthannormal.Inyoureffortstostopthegliderturning
towardsthecollapsedsideofthewingyoumustbeverycarefulnottostallthesideofthewingthatisstill
ying.Ifyouareunabletostopthegliderturningwithoutexceedingthestallpointthenallowthegliderto
turnwhilstyoureinatethecollapse.
Ifyouhaveadeation which doesnotspontaneouslyreinate,makealongsmoothprogressive pump
onthedeatedside.Thispumpingactionshouldtakeabout1-2secondsperpump.Pumpingtooshort
andfastwillnotreinatethewingandpumpingtooslowmighttaketheglidercloseto,orbeyond,the
stallpoint.
Symmetricalcollapsesreinatewithoutpilotinput.However,15to20cmofbrakeappliedsymmetrically
andrapidlywillspeeduptheprocess.Afterasymmetriccollapse,alwaysconsideryourairspeed.Make
surethegliderisnotinparachutalstallbeforemakinganyfurtherinputs.
Deep Stall / Parachutal Stall
It is possible for gliders to enter a state of parachutal stall. This can be caused by several situations
including:avery slow release fromaB-line stall, ying thegliderwhen wet, or afterafront/symmetric
deation.Theglideroftenlooksasthoughithasrecoveredproperlybutcarriesondescendingvertically
withoutfullforwardmotion.Thissituationiscalled‘deepstall’or‘parachutalstall’.
ItisunlikelytohappenonanyOzoneglider,butshouldit,yourrstreactionshouldbetofullyraiseboth
hands.Thisnormallyallowstheglidertoreturntonormalight.Ifnothinghappensafterafewseconds,
reachupandpushtheA-risersforwardsorapplythespeedbartoencouragethewingtoregainnormal
ight.Ensure the glider has returnedto normal ight (check yourairspeed) before you use thebrakes
again.
Donotyinrain.Doingsosignicantlyincreasesthelikelihoodofparachutalstallsoccurring.Toreduce
thechanceofstallinginrain,avoidusingdeepbrakemovementsFinda safeareatoland,andusethe
trimmerstomaintainagoodairspeedatalltimes.
IMPORTANT
Always be prepared
to pilot the wing out
of a spiral dive if you
choose to perform
one. Use opposite
weight shift and apply
enough outside brake
to stop the wing from
spiralling.
IMPORTANT
Only a few cms of
input from your
brakes can maintain
your wing in the stall.
Always release your
wraps if you have
taken them!
IMPORTANT
Never y in the rain or
with a wet glider

.Caring Tips
Carelessgroundhandlingdamagesmanyparagliders.Herearesomethingstoavoidinordertoprolong
thelifeofyouraircraft:
•DONOTdragyourwingalongthegroundtoanothertake-offposition-thisdamagesthesailcloth.Lift
itupandcarryit.
•DONOTtrytoopenyourwinginstrongwindswithoutuntanglingthelinesrst-thisputsunnecessary
strainonthelines.
•DONOTwalkonthewingorlines.
•DONOTrepeatedlyinatethegliderandthenallowittocrashbackdown.Trytokeepthismovement
assmoothaspossiblebymovingtowardsthegliderasitcomesdown.
•DONOTslamyourgliderdownonthegroundleadingedgerst!Thisimpactputsgreatstrainonthe
wingandstitchingandcanevenexplodecells.
•FLYINGin salty air, inareas with abrasive surfaces(sand, rocks etc.) andgroundhandling in strong
windswillacceleratetheagingprocess.
•DONOTyintherainorexposethewingtomoisture.
•DONOTexposethewingtounnecessaryUV.Packawayonceyouhavenishedying.Donotleaveit
sittinginthesun.
•Ifyouywithawrap,youshouldregularlyundothetwistingthatappearsonthemainbrakelines.When
thelineistwisteditbecomesshorter,whichmayapplyconstanttensiononthetrailingedge(whichcan
leadtoproblemonlaunch,spinning,stalling,glidernotyingsymmetricallyetc.
•Changeyourmainbrakelinesiftheyaredamaged.
•BeCarefulwhengroundhandlingtonotsawthebrakelinesagainsttherisersormainlines.Theabrasion
causedbyasawingmotioncandamagethemainlinesandleadtoprematureageingoftherisers.Ifyou
noticeanysignsofabrasion,especiallytothelines,makesureyougetthewingprofessionallyserviced
andimportantlymodifyyourgroundhandlingtechniquetostopanyfurtherdamage.
•ItisrecommendedthatyouregularlyCHECKyourwing,especiallyafteraheavyperiodofuse,afteran
incidentorafteralongperiodofstorage.
Storage and Transport
Alwaysstoreallyouryingequipmentinadryroom,protectedfromdirectheat.Yourwingshouldbedry
beforebeingpackedaway.Moisture,heatandhumidityaretheworstelementsfordamagingyourglider.
Storingadampgliderinyourcarunderthesunwouldbeterribleforexample.
Ifyoulandinsaltwater,youmustrstrinseitthoroughlywithcleanfreshwater.Drythewingcompletely,
preferablyoutofthesun,inthewind.Neveruseahairdryer,etc.
Takecarethatnoinsectsgetpackedawaywiththewing.Theymayeattheclothandmakeholesinabid
toescape.Theycanalsoleaveacidicdepositsiftheydieanddecompose.
Transportthewinginthesuppliedbagsandkeepawayfromoils,paints,chemicals,detergentsetc.
Cleaning
Anykindofwiping/scratchingcandamagethecoatingofthecloth.Werecommendtonotcleanthewing,
butifyoudohaveto,useasoftclothdampenedwithasmallamountofwaterandusegentlemovements
littlebylittleacrossthesurface.
Wing Repairs
Always let a registered dealer, professional repair centre or the manufacturer carry out any major or
complexrepairs,especiallythosenearseammargins.
If you damage the sail:
Iftheripissmallandinthemiddleofapanelhoweveryoucanxityourself.You’llndallthematerials
intherepairkityouneed.Thefabriccanbesimplymendedwiththestickyripstop/spinnakertape.When
cuttingoutthepatchesallowampleoverlapofthetearandmakesurebothsidesaredifferentsizes.Make
suretoroundoffeachcornerofthepatches.
Youcannd moreinformationaboutrepairingyourwing ontheOzonewebsite,includingstep bystep
instructionswithpictures.
IMPORTANT
Never pack away or
store your glider wet.
IMPORTANT
Never use detergent or
chemical cleaners.

IMPORTANT
Take care of your
wing and make sure
to have it checked and
serviced according to
the schedule.

If you damage a line:
AnylinethatisvisuallydamagedMUSTbereplaced.Useareputableparaglidingservicecentretomake
thereplacementlines.AlternativelyyoucanorderthemfromyourlocalOzonedealerordirectlyfromour
websitehttp://www.yozone.com/paragliders/en/shop/lines.php
It is important that replacement lines are made from the correct materials and diameters. You should
checklengthsagainsttheircounterpartontheothersideofthewingtomakeensuresymmetry.Oncethe
linehasbeenreplaced,inateandcheckthegliderbeforeying.
Packing
Toprolongthelifeofyourwingandtokeepitinthebestpossiblecondition,itisveryimportanttopack
thewingcarefully.
Ozonerecommends to usethe concertina packingmethod so that all of the cells rest alongside each
other.Thishelpstoensuretheleadingedgereinforcementsarenotunnecessarilybent.UsinganOzone
SaucisseorSaucisse lightpackwillhelppreservethelifeofthe wingandaidwiththe speedandease
ofpacking.Alternatively,youcansimplyfoldthewingusingthetraditionalmethod-inhalfandthenhalf
again.
Maintenance Checks
Itisvitallyimportantthatyourwingbecheckedregularly.Yourwingshouldbecheckedby a qualied
professionalforthersttimeafter1yearor80hours,whichevercomesrstandthereafterannually.You
areresponsible for your ying equipmentand your safety depends on it. Takecare of it and regularly
inspectallofitscomponents.Changesinawing’slaunchingoryingbehaviourareindicatorsoftheglider
aging.Ifyounoticeanychangesyoushouldhavethewingcheckedbeforeyingagain.
Modifications
Yourwingwasdesignedandtrimmedtogivetheoptimumbalanceofperformance,handlingandsafety.
Anymodication willprobablymaketheglidermoredifculttoyand lesssafe.Forthesereasons,we
stronglyrecommendthatyoudonotmodifyitinanyway.
AtOzone,wetake the qualityofourproductsveryseriously.Allof our glidersaremadetothehighest
standards,inourownmanufacturingfacility. Everyglidermanufacturedgoesthroughastringentseries
ofqualitycontrolproceduresandallthecomponentsusedtobuildyourglideraretraceable.Wealways
welcomecustomerfeedbackandarecommittedtocustomerservice.Wewillalwaysxproblemsthatare
notcausedbynormalwearandtearorinappropriateuse.Ifyouhaveaproblemwithyourglider,please
contactyourdealer/distributor.Theywillbeabletodecidethemostappropriateaction.Ifyouareunable
tocontactyourdealer,thenyoucancontactusdirectlyatinfo@yozone.com.
