TheLitespeedisatrulyversatileminiwing,equallycomfortableinlightorstrongwindconditions,itis
idealforhikeandyadventuresaswellashigherwindsoaringandthermalling.Thisadvancedminiwing
designhasbeenmorethantwoyearsinthemakingandisanevolutionfotheZeroconceptusingUltral-
iteconstructiontechniques.Thetrimming,sailtensionandarchavebeenoptimisedforimprovedination
characteristicsandanevenmorecompact,agilefeelintheair.
Whilespeedwasamajorconcernforusduringthedevelopment,ourprimaryfocuswasoncreatinga
stableandusablespeedrangeandkeepingweightandpackingvolumedowntoaminimum.Ozone’s
researchintolight-wingconstructionbeganbackin2001withtheintroductionofthePeak.Development
continuedwithOzonewingsappearingineveryX-Alpsracesincetherstin2003.TheLitespeedincor-
poratesalloftheknow-howandexperiencegainedinthelast13yearsoflightweightR&D.
TheLitespeedfeaturesthepatentedOzoneSharkNosetechnology.TheSharkNose,asproveninour
highestlevelcompetitionwingsandnowtheMantraandDeltaseries,providesenhancedstabilityat
lowanglesofattack(acceleratedight)andalsohighanglesofattack(slowspeedight,thermalling).In
addition,itprovidesahighlevelofspin-resistance,generallyimprovedhandling,andincreasedspeed
andglideperformance.Inshort,theSharkNosehassignicantlyimprovedeveryaspectofightinthe
Litespeed’sdesignplatform,makingitauniquehigh-performancemini-wingwhichremainsaccessible
andeasytouse.
TheLitespeedisequippedwithbothtrimmersandaspeedsystem,whichmaybeusedindividuallyor
together.Wedonotrecommendyinganyhighly-loadedwinginacceleratedcongurationsinturbulent
conditions.Knowyourlimits,andonlyytheLitespeedinconditionsandatyingsitesthataresuitable
toyourskilllevel.
TheLitespeedwillnotonlyincreasetherangeofyableconditionsforyouasapilot,butalsoenhance
yourenjoymentofthesimplestdescentights.
Rucksack
Yourwingissuppliedwithaspeciallydesignedbagthatislightinweightandcomfortable.Itfeatures
apaddedhipbelt,adjustableergonomicshoulderstrapsandextrapocketstostorekeys,accessories
andallthoseextrabits.Itslargevolumeallowsyoutostoreallofyourequipmentwhilstdistributingthe
weightforcomfortablehiking.
Brake Lines
Thebrakelinelengthshavebeensetcarefullyduringtesting.Wefeelitisbettertohaveslightlylong
brakelinesandtoywithawrap(oneturnoflinearoundthehand).However,ifyoudochoosetoadjust
theirlengthpleasekeepinmindthefollowing:
•Ensurebothmainbrakelinesareofequallength.
•Ifabrakehandlehasbeenremoved,checkthatitslineisroutedthroughthepulleywhenitisreplaced.
•Whenthebrakesarefullyreleasedinight,thebrakelinesshouldbeslack.Theremustbea
substantialbowinthemtoguaranteenodeformationofthetrailingedgewhenaccelerated.
•Theremustbeaminimumof10cmoffreeplaybeforethebrakesbegintodeformthetrailingedge.
Thispreventsthetrailingedgefrombeingdeformedwhenusingthespeedsystem.
Risers
TheLitespeedhasbeendesignedwith4risersperside.TheAriseriscoveredwithcolouredwebbing,
toallowforeasyidentication.
Therisersfeatureanacceleratorsystemandtrimmers.Thetrimmersystemcanbeusedtoaidination
andincreaseordecreaseyourangleofattack.Werecommendbecomingveryfamiliarwithyourwing
beforeusingthetrimmersystem.
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 (D-risers) for
directional control.
WARNING
Never y with your
trimmers released in
turbulent conditions.

Limitations
TheLitespeedhasbeendesignedasasolominiwingandisnotintendedfortandemightsoraerobatic
manoeuvres.
Mini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ava-
lanche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protec-
tion,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!
IMPORTANT
Using the accelerator
decreases the angle
of attack and makes
the wing more
prone to collapse,
therefore using the
accelerator near the
ground or in turbulent
conditionsshould be
avoided.
NOTE
It is recommended
to pilot the wing with
the rear risers during
accelerated ight.
Accelerator System
Tosetuptheacceleratorsystem,rstroutethelinessuppliedwiththespeedsystemthroughthe
harness.Makesurethisisdonecorrectlyandthatthelinespassthroughallofthepulleys(checkyour
harnessmanualforinstructions).Attachthespeedsystemlinestotheacceleratorsystemontherisers
withtheBrummelhooks.
Abasicset-upcanbeperformedontheground:askafriendtopulltheriserstightintotheirin-ight
positionwhilstyousitintheharnessontheground.Nowadjustthelengthsofthelinessothatthe
mainbarsitsjustbeneathyourseat.Youshouldbeabletohookyourheelintothelowerloopofthe
accelerator.
Theremustbeenoughslackinthespeedbartoensurethefrontrisersarenotpulleddowninnormal
trimspeedight,butnotsolongthatitisimpossibletousethefullspeedrangeoftheglider.Fully
extendingthelowerloopwillacceleratethewingtoapproximatelyhalfitsacceleratedspeedrange.
Forfullspeed,hookyourheelsontotheupperbarandsmoothlyextendyourlegs,maximumspeedis
whenthepulleysontheriserstouch.Oncesetup,testthefullrangeoftheacceleratorincalmying
conditionsandensurethatbothrisersarepulledevenlyduringoperation.Fine-tuningcanbecompleted
whenyouarebackontheground.
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.
Wing
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,pullalllinesclear.
Repeatwiththestabilo,D(uppers),C,BandAlines,layingthecheckedlinesontopofthepreviousset,
andmakingsurenolinesaretangled,knottedorsnagged.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.Ifyou
haveanydoubtspleasegetadvicefromexperiencedpilotsoryourlocaldealerorinstructor.

BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES

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.TheLitespeedshowsnounusual
yingcharacteristics,consequentlyitissuitableforaverywiderangeofpilot.Turnsaresmoothand
co-ordinated,whilstonglideitremainssolidandwellpressuredthroughouttheacceleratedspeedrange
asithasaveryhighresistancetobothcollapsesandstalls.Howeveritisasmallwinganditcanbe
dynamicsoyitwithduerespect,withhighsafetymarginsandalwaysbeprogressive.
Take-off checklist:
1.Checkreserveparachute-pinisinandhandlesecure
2.Helmetonandfastened
3.Allharnessbucklesclosed-checkleg-loopsagain
4.Karabinersandmaillonstight
5.Acceleratorsystemconnected
6.HoldingtheArisersandyourbrakehandlescorrectly
7.Leadingedgeopen
8.Alignedinthemiddleofthewinganddirectlyintowind
9.Airspaceandvisibilityclear
IMPORTANT
Never take off with
a glider that is not
fully inated or if you
are not in control of
the pitch/roll of your
wing.
Launching
YourLitespeedwilllaunchwitheithertheforwardorreversetechnique.Thewingshouldbelaidoutin
apronouncedarc,withthecentreofthewinghigherthanthetips.Itisrecommendedtoreleasethe
trimmersapproximately2cmtotheredstitchinglinetoaidtheinationbehaviour.
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Litespeed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Litespeed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.
Practicegroundhandlingasmuchaspossible!Notonlyisitgreatfun,butitwillgiveyouamuchbetter
feelforyourwing’sightcharacteristics.Itwillalsoimproveyouroverallenjoymentofyingbygiving
youthefeelingofcontrolandmakingyourlauncheseasierandlessstressful.
Speed to Fly
Flyingattrimspeed(hands-up,trimmersinslowposition),theLitespeedwillachieveits‘bestglide’
speedforstillair.Youshouldyatthisspeedwhenglidingdownwindorwhentheairisnotexcessively
sinking.Forbetterpenetrationinheadwindsandimprovedglideperformanceinsinkingair,crosswinds

orheadwinds,youshouldyfasterthantrimspeedbyusingtheacceleratorsystem.Usinguptohalf
bardoesnotdegradetheglideangleorstabilitysignicantlyandwillimproveyouryingperformance.
Youwillreachthenextthermalfasterandhigher.AtfullspeedtheLitespeedisstable;howeverwe
recommendthatyoudonotyatfullspeedclosetothegroundorinturbulentair.
Byapplyingthebrakesapproximately30cm,theLitespeedwillachieveitsMinimum-Sinkrate;thisisthe
speedforbestclimbandisthespeedtouseforthermallingandridgesoaring.
Turning
TofamiliarizeyourselfwiththeLitespeedyourrstturnsshouldbegradualandprogressive.Tomake
efcientandcoordinatedturnswiththeLitespeedrstlookinthedirectionyouwanttogo,thenlean
intoit.Yourrstinputfordirectionalchangeshouldbeweight-shift,followedbythesmoothapplication
ofthebrakeuntilthedesiredbankangleisachieved.Toregulatethespeedandradiusoftheturn,
coordinateyourweightshiftandusetheouterbrake.
Active Flying
Tominimizethelikelihoodofsufferingcollapsesin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.
Thesemovementscanbesymmetricorasymmetric;youmayhavetoapplybothbrakesorjustone.
Thesesubtleadjustmentswillkeeptheglideryingsmoothlyanddirectlyaboveyouanddramatically
reducethechancesofacollapse.Ifthegliderpitchesinfrontofyou,usethebrakestoslowitdown.
Equally,ifthegliderdropsbehindyou,releasethebrakestoallowittospeedup.Thegoalistoalways
keepthewingdirectlyoverhead.
IMPORTANT
Always keep hold of
your brakes. Do not y
in turbulent conditions
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.Alwaysbeawareofyouraltitudeanddonotover-react.Westronglyadviseyoutoalwayskeep
holdofyourbrakes.Donotyinturbulentconditions.
Landing
TheLitespeedshowsnounusuallandingcharacteristicsbutasareminder,herearesometips:
•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).
•Allowtheglidertoyathandsup(trim)speedforyournaldescentuntilyouarearound1metre
abovetheground(inwindyorturbulentconditionsyoumustytheglideractivelyalltheway).Apply
thebrakesslowlyandprogressivelytoslowthegliderdownuntilgroundspeedhasbeenreducedtoa
minimumandyouareabletostepontotheground.
•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low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.
•Ifthegliderdoesbegintoclimb,easeoffthebrakes(10-20cm)-donotputyourhandsupalltheway
-thenareagain,butmoregentlythistime.Keepthebrakesatmidspeed,standup,bereadytorun
andmakesureyoubrakefullyasyouarriveontheground.
•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.Once
facingthewingpullsmoothlyandsymmetricallydownonthebrakestostallthewing.Ifthegliderpulls
you,runtowardit.
•Ifthewindisverystrong,andyoufeelyoumightbedragged,orliftedagain,stallthegliderwiththeC
risers.Thisstallsthewinginaveryquickandcontrollablewayandwilldragyoulessthanifyouuse
thebrakes.
•Alwayslandheadingintowind!
IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at
minimum speed (i.e.
with full brakes on) as
you could risk entering
a spin.

Ozonewouldliketoremindyouthatthefollowingmanoeuvresshouldbelearntunderthesupervisionof
aqualiedinstructorandalwaysusedwithcaution.Neverforgetthatproperlyanalysingtheconditions
beforelaunchwillhelpavoidtheneedtousethesetechniques.
Big Ears
Foldinginthewingtipsincreasesthesinkratewithoutradicallychangingtheairspeed.Thisisusefulfor
stayingoutofcloudordescendingquicklythroughtheliftbandofthehill,forexamplewhentoplanding.
Topullbigears,keepholdofyourbrakehandlesandtaketheoutermostA-lineoneachside,thenpull
outanddown(preferablyoneatatime)untilthewingtipsfoldunder.TheOuterAlineisattachedtothe
BabyAriser,makingidenticationanduseofthebigearsystemeasier.Thesizeofthebigearscanbe
adjustedbypullingmoreline,orreachinghigheruptheline.FordirectionalcontrolwhileusingtheBig
Ears,youshoulduseweightshift.Toreopentheears,releasebothAlinesatthesametime.Tohelp
reination,brakegentlyonesideatatimeuntiltipsregainpressure.Avoiddeepsymmetricapplications
ofthebrakeasthiscouldaccidentlyinduceparachutalorfullstalls.
YoumayuseBigearsforthenallandingapproachbuttheyshouldbereleasedbeforemakingthenal
are.Ozoneadvisetonotusethistechniqueinturbulentorwindyconditionsduetothereducedability
toyactivelyandtheriskofaninadvertentstallwhilstdescendingthroughthewindgradient.
Oncethebigearsareengagedyoucanfurtherincreasethesinkratebypushingontheacceleratorbar,
howeverNEVERtrytopulltheBigEarsiniftheacceleratorisalreadypushed.Thelowerangleofattack
andtheactofdeatingthetipscanleadtoamajordeation.AlwaysmaketheBigEarsrstandthen
applythespeedbar.
WhilstitispossibletoenteraspiraldivewhilstholdinginBigEars,thehighforcesappliedtothelower
linescouldexceedthebreakingstrainofthelinesleadingtoequipmentfailure!
Ozone strongly recommend to NOT perform Spiral Dives with Big Ears engaged.
IMPORTANT
Induce Big ears one
side at a time
NEVER induce Big
Ears in accelerated
ight, this can lead
to a major deation.
Always pull the Big
Ears rst and then
apply the speed bar.
DO NOT perform spiral
dives with Big Ears
engaged.
B-Line Stall
B-stallisforfastdescentsinemergencysituationsonly.Itisfasterandsafertolosealtitudewithaspiral
divethanaB-stall.
ToinitiatetheB-stall,keepthebrakesinyourhandandtakeholdofboththeBrisers,orplaceyour
ngersbetweenthelinesabovethemaillons.AsyoupulltheB-linesdowntheairowoverthewingis
brokenandthegliderlosesitsforwardspeedbutremainsopenwithareducedcord.Youcandescend
ataround6m/s.
ToexittheB-stalltheB-risersshouldbereleasedsymmetricallyandinonesmooth,progressivemotion.
Thegliderwillresumenormalforwardightwithoutfurtherinput.Checkyouhaveforwardightagain
beforeusingthebrakes.
IfyoupulltoomuchB-linetheglidermayhorseshoeandmovearoundalot.Ifthisoccurs,slowlyrelease
theBlinesuntilthewingstabilisesorsimplyexittheBlinestallbyimmediatelyreleasetheBrisers.Do
notattempttomaintainaBlinestallthatisnotstable.
Spiral Dives
Ifyouturnyourgliderinaseriesoftightening360’sitwillenteraspiraldive.Thiswillresultinrapid
heightloss.Toinitiateaspiral,lookandleanintothedirectionyouwanttogo,thensmoothlypulldown
ontheinsidebrake.TheLitespeedwillrstturnalmost360degreesbeforeitdropsintothespiral.Once
inthespiralyoushouldre-centreyourweightshiftandapplyalittleoutsidebraketokeeptheouterwing
tippressuredandinated.
Safedescentratesofmorethan8m/s(1600ft/minapprox.)arepossibleinaspiraldive,butatthese
ratestheassociatedhighspeedsandG-forcescanbedisorientating.Alwayspayparticularattentionto
youraltitude.Toexitthespiraldive,ensureyourweightshiftisinacentredpositionandthensmoothly
releasetheinsidebrake.AstheLitespeeddeceleratesallowittocontinuetoturnuntilenoughenergyis
lostforittoreturntolevelightwithoutanexcessiveclimbandsurge.
I
MPORTANT
The pitching movement
on exiting the B stall is
small but necessary.
We recommend you do
not brake the glider
until you are sure that
the glider is ying
properly again.
IMPORTANT
Always be prepared
to pilot the wing out
of a spiral dive. Use
opposite weight shift
and apply enough
outside brake to
stop the wing from
spiralling.

INCIDENTS IN FLIGHT
EN

14
TheLitespeedshowslittletendencytoremainstableinaspiraldive;howeversomeparameterscould
interferewithitsbehaviour.Thesemightinclude:wrongcheststrapsettings,totalweightinightoutside
ofthecertiedweightrange,orbeinginaverydeepspiralataveryhighsinkrate>14m/s.Youshould
alwaysbepreparedtopilotthewingoutofsuchaspiraldive.Todoso,smoothlyuseoppositeweight
shiftandapplyenoughoutsidebraketostopthewingfromspiralling,thegliderwillthenstarttoresume
normalight.Neverattempttorecoverfromaspiralwithhardorquickoppositeinputsasthiswillresult
inanaggressiveclimbandsurge.
WARNING
Uncoordinated
wingovers can lead
to large asymmetric
collapses and cravats,
therefore they should
never be executed
near the ground.
Deflations
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.
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
willspeedtheprocess.Afterasymmetriccollapsealwaysconsideryourairspeed.Makesuretheglider
isnotinparachutalstallbeforemakinganyfurtherinputs.
IfyourLitespeedcollapsesinacceleratedight,immediatelyreleasetheaccelerator,returnthetrimmers
totheslowpositionandmanagethecollapseusingthesamemethodsdescribedabove.
IMPORTANT
Never apply the brakes
whilst using the speed
system - it makes the
wing more prone to
collapse.

Cravats
Ifthetipofyourwinggetsstuckinthelines,thisiscalleda‘cravat’.Thiscanmakeyourglidergointo
aspiral,whichisdifculttocontrol.Therstsolutiontogetoutofthissituationistostabilisetheglider
intonormalight,i.egetcontrolofyourdirectionandthenpulldownthestabiloline(CR4-outsideline
ontheCriser)untilthewingtipclears.Youmustbecarefulwithanybrakeinputsoryoumaystallthe
oppositewing.Youcanalsousestrongdeeppumpsofthebrakeonthecravatedside,whendoingsoit
isimportanttoleanawayfromthecravatotherwiseyouriskspinningordeepeningthespiral.Theaimis
toemptytheairoutofthewingtip,butwithoutspinning.Correctlydone,thisactionwillclearthecravat.
Ifitisaverylargecravatandtheaboveoptionshavenotworkedthenafullstallisanotheroption.This
shouldnotbeattemptedunlessyouhavebeentaughthowtodoitandcanonlybedonewithalarge
amountofaltitude.Rememberiftherotationisacceleratingandyouareunabletocontrolit,youshould
throwyourreserveparachutewhilstyoustillhaveenoughaltitude.
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dosoyourrstreactionshouldbetofully
raisebothhands.Thisnormallyallowstheglidertoreturntonormalightbut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orBigEars.Findasafeareatoland
andusingthespeedbar,maintainagoodairspeedatalltimes.
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!
Step 1.Laymushroomedwing
ontheground.Itisbesttostart
fromthemushroomedposition
asthisreducesthedragging
oftheleadingedgeacrossthe
ground. Step 2.GroupLEreinforcements
withtheAtabsaligned,make
suretheplasticreinforcements
laysidebyside.
Step 3.LaywingonitssideandStrap
LE...NotethegliderisNOTfolded
inhalf;itisfoldedwithacomplete
concertinafromtiptotip.Itisreally
importanttonotstressthemiddlecellor
bendtheplastictootightly.
Packing
Toprolongthelifeofyourwingandtokeeptheplasticreinforcementsinthebestpossibleconditionitisveryimportanttopackthewing
carefully.
Ozonerecommendstousetheconcertinapackingmethodexactlyasshownsothatallofthecellsrestalongsideeachotherandthe
plastic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.
IMPORTANT
A bad preparation
on launch, aerobatic
ying, ying a wing of
too high a level or in
conditions too strong
for your ability, are
the main causes of
cravats.
IMPORTANT
Never y in the rain or
with a wet glider

EN
19
18
If using a Saucisse pack go to Step 8.
Step 7.Nowplacethefoldedwingintothestuffsack.
Step 4.Grouptogetherthemiddle/trailing
edgeofthewingbysortingthefoldsnear
theB,CandDtabs.
Step 6.Foldthewingwith3or4foldswhilstbeing
carefultonotcrushtheLE.
Step 5.OncetheLEandrearofthewinghave
beensorted,turnthewholewingonitsside.
Step 8.IfusingtheSaucissePack,carefully
zipitupwithouttrappinganymaterial.
Step 9.TurntheSaucisseonitssideandmaketherst
foldjustaftertheLEreinforcements.Donotfoldtheplastic
reinforcements,use3or4foldsaroundtheLE.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing
at on the ground before packing the
glider, this will cause abrasion damage
to the top surface as you pull the glider
towards the middle. ALWAYS pack from
a mushroom or lift the wing off the
ground when gathering the wing and
grouping the leading edge.
IMPORTANT: Do not fold the glider in the centre, you
will bend the plastics, instead pack the wing with a full
concertina method from tip to tip before packing into the
stuff sac.

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.
Bytwistingthelinebecomeshorterandyoucanendupwithaconstanttensiononthetrailingedge
(whichcanleadtoproblemonlaunch,stalling,glidernotyingsymmetrically,...)
•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.
•YourOzonewinghasanopeningclosedusingvelcroonthetrailingedgeofthetipcalledthe‘Butt
hole’.Thishasbeendesignedtoeasilyemptyallthethingswhichhavebeenaccumulatinginyour
wing(sand,leaves,rocks,mobilephonesetc).
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.

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.

YoucanndmoreinformationaboutrepairingyourwingontheOzonewebsite,includingstepbystep
instructionswithpictures.
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.
Maintenance Checks
Yourwing,likeacar,shouldbetechnicallycheckedtoensureproperairworthiness.Yourwingshould
becheckedbyaqualiedprofessionalforthersttimeafter24months,orafter100hours.However,
ifyouareafrequentyer(morethan100hrsperyear),thenwerecommend,thatyougetyourglider
checkedannually.Thecheckershouldinformyouabouttheconditionofyourgliderandifsomeparts
willneedtobecheckedorchangedbeforethenextnormalservicecheckperiod.
Thesailandthelinesdonotageinthesamewayoratthesamerate;itispossiblethatyoumay
havetochangepartorallofthelinesduringthewing’slife.Forthisreasonitisimportanttodo
regularinspectionssothatyouknowtheexactconditionofallofthecomponentsofyourglider.We
recommendthatinspectionsarecarriedoutbyaqualiedprofessional.
Youaloneareresponsibleforyouryingkitandyoursafetydependsonit.Takecareofyourequipment
andhaveitregularlyinspected.Changesinination/groundhandling/yingbehaviourindicatesthe
glidersaging,ifyounoticeanychangesyoushouldhavethewingcheckedbeforeyingagain.These
arethebasicelementsofthecheckup(fulldetailsandpermissiblegurescanbefoundonourwebsite):
Porosityismeasuredwithaporositymeter,thetimetakenbyacertainvolumeofairtogothrougha
certainsurfaceofthecloth.Thetimeinsecondsistheresult.Ameasurementisdoneinaseveralplaces
onthetopsurfacealongthespanofthegliderbehindtheleadingedge.
Thetearingresistanceofthecloth-Anon-destructivetestfollowingtheTS-108standardwhich
speciesminimumtearstrengthforskydivingcanopiesshouldbemadeusingaBettsometer.(B.M.A.A.
ApprovedPatentNo.GB2270768CliveBettsSails)
Strengthofthelines-Anupper,middleandlowerAline,alongwithalowerBandalowerC(and
lowerDifapplicable)lineshouldbetestedforstrength.Eachlineistestedtobreakingpointandthe
valuerecorded.Theminimumvalueis8GforalllowerA+Blinesand6Gforalllowerremaininglines,
calculatedfromthemaximumcertiedyingweightoftheglider.Theaddedminimumstrengthfor
themiddlelinesandforthetoplinesshouldbethesame.Ifthebreakingstrengthistooclosetothe
minimumvaluecalculated,theprofessionalshouldgiveaperiodafterwhichyouwillhavetotestthe
strengthofthelinesagain.
Lengthsofthelines-Theoveralllength(riserlines+midlines+upperlines)hastobecheckedunder
5Kgsoftension.Thedifferencebetweenthemeasuredlengthandtheoriginallengthshouldnotexceed
+/-10mm.ThechangesthatcouldappearareaslightshrinkontheCorDsand/oraslightstretchon
theA,B.Theconsequencesofthesechangescanincludeaslowertrimspeed,difcultinationetc.
Risers-Visualinspectionforsignsofwearorabrasion.Differencestomanuallengthsshouldnotexceed
+/-5mm.
Canopycheck-Afullvisualcheckshouldbecarriedout:Allthecomponentsofthewing(stitching,ribs,
diagonals,lines,tabs,...)shouldbecheckedforsignsofdeterioration.
Finally,aighttesttoconrmthatthewingbehavesnormallyshouldbecarriedoutbyaprofessional.
