YOUR OZO²
3
Our lightest reversible harness, the OZO² provides an incredible amount of comfort & versatility for its 570 gram
total weight.
Ultralight yet supportive EVA foam provides structure and padding for the legs and a generous lumbar load
support and adjustable shoulder straps make this harness comfortable enough for soaring sessions and longer
hike & y descents. With three sizes available, the OZO² covers a wide range of pilot sizes with ideal t.
A lightweight speed bar is included and the detachable leg-straps allow easy gear-up on launch.
In backpack mode, the OZO² is designed for speedy and comfortable ascents. Inspired by trail-running packs,
the wide & breathable shoulder straps spread the load comfortably with solid support and allow carriage of two
easily accessible water bottles.
You’ll nd plenty of storage available - multiple exterior pockets and a removable helmet stow system allow you
to bring everything you need whether you’re going for a quick trail-run or on a longer hike & y mission.
The 30 Liter volume ts all sizes of the Ultralite and XXLite wings, and all similar wings in the class.
In accordance with our mission to increase the sustainability of all Ozone products, the OZO² is made with
certied Bluesign & OEKO-TEX ripstop fabric.

PREPARATION

Initial Set Up
Before you rst ight, we recommend you to set up the harness in the comfort of your own home so that you
become familiar with its functions and characteristics. You should hang the harness from a suitably strong
suspension point to ensure it is been set up correctly and suitable for a comfortable ight. First of all the harness
must be orientated correctly so that there are no twists to the structural webbing. Do not attempt to y the
harness inside out. Check that all straps are free from twists. Double check the shoulder straps around the hang
points as they can easily become tangled in this area.
Fitting
There are 2 ways to put the harness on;
Method 1:
Place the carabiners on the coloured lumbar support attachment points. Red for left, blue for right. Place the
shoulder straps on each shoulder as usual, then lift up the chest/leg straps from between your legs and join the
attachment points to the carabiner of the corresponding colour. Repeat for the other side.

6
Method 2:
Stepping through the leg/chest straps. If using X Lite Connects you may nd that leaving the harness attached to
your wing is more convenient. In which case, one at a time, step through the chest and leg straps before pulling the
shoulder straps into place. Make sure your legs go through the leg straps correctly and not through the sides of the
harness. The split leg supports should sit under your thighs.
It is not recommended to use the step through method if you are using crampons as you risk severely damaging the
harness. Instead use method 1 or remove the crampons before putting the harness on.
Once in the harness correctly, attach the shoulder strap retainer by passing the knot through the loop.
Adjustments
The length of the shoulder straps can be modied using the adjustments. 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. To tighten the shoulder straps pull the red toggles downwards. To loosen,
pull the red loops in the same direction.

7
Speed bar
To t the supplied accelerator system, rst remove the Brummel hooks and route the lines
though the ring located on the side of the leg supports, then through the pulleys on the side
of the harness. Make sure the lines pass to the outside of all straps and adjustments. Replace
the Brummel hooks or make a suitable knot in the ends of the lines and attach it to the riser’s
speed system using a larks foot.
Ensure the speed bar lines are of equal length, double check that they are not too short as
this may inadvertently activate the speed system when under tension in the air. Double check
on the ground before ying.The speed bar can be secured in the loop between the legs.
Reserve Parachute
The OZO² does not have an integrated reserve parachute container. To t a reserve
parachute you must use a front-mounted container (not supplied). The reserve bridles
should be attached to the main carabineers, please refer to the container’s instruction
manual for the correct mounting proceedure.
Use only suitable metal carabineers when connecting the bridles to the main hang points.
DO NOT use X-Lite connects, they have not been designed or tested to cope with the
potentially high shock loads associated with a parachute deployment.
The Ozone Ultralite rescue container is a perfect lightweight option.
WARNING:X-Lite connects are only suitable for connecting paraglider risers to the harness. They
MUST NOT be used to attach reserve parachutes. Hard dynamic shock loads may cause complete failure
resulting in serious injury or death.

8
IMPORTANT: There are no other suitable attachment points to attach the risers to
the harness.
CONNECTION TO THE WING
The harness should be attached to the risers using a suitable carabiner. For the lightest option
we recommend the X-Lite connects. Whatever the type of connection used, ensure that both
the leg strap and lumbar support loops pass through the connector. Each side is colour coded.

REVERSING THE HARNESS
To reverse the harness into the backpack, it is not necessary to rst disconnect the wing from the carabiners.

Ensure all the buckles, carabiners, risers and structural straps are placed on the inside of the harness structure. It
is recommended to place the folded wing within the harness.
Undo completely the zip of the rear pocket and turn it inside out, it can now be done up again to completely enclose
the harness and wing.
HARNESS MODE
To convert from backpack mode to harness mode, reverse this procedure.
HELMET ATTACHMENT
The helmet can be attached to the rear of the harness with the elasticated
mesh.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
10
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
Before take o it is important to carry out a thorough pre-ight check:
• Visual check of structural webbing looking for any obvious damage or twists
• Visual check of the X-Lite connects/carabiners for any signs of wear or fatigue
• Risers connected correctly without twists
• If using a speed system ensure it is attached correctly and not tangled around the webbing
• Leg / Chest strap done up correctly
• Shoulder strap retainers fastened correctly
• If using a front mounted reserve container, ensure the parachute pins are correctly in place and that the
bridles are correctly mounted on the carabiners
•Double check your leg straps/hang point connection
CARE
The OZO² will last many years and many ights if looked after correctly, however it is a light product that is not
designed for misuse or hard treatment. Take extra special care and treat it gently. To keep your harness clean
and airworthy, please note the following:
• Avoid excessive exposure to UV, heat and humidity
• Pack the harness dry and store in a cool dry place, take care to not damage the carbon bars
• Never drag or skim your harness along the ground
• Keep you harness clean of dirt, oils and any corrosive substance
Use water and a cloth to clean if necessary.

11
INSPECTION
For safety, routine inspection of all of your equipment is vitally important. Ozone recommends a service interval
of 6 months in addition to the usual thorough pre-ight checks.
For inspection, visually check the stitching, webbing and all structurally important areas. Pay particular attention
to the webbing around the hang point area and the carbon bars as this is where abrasion/damage is most likely.
If you nd any damage or if you are in any doubt make sure the harness checked by a professional. Other than
replacing damaged carbon bars, the harness is not serviceable in any other way. If your F*Lite² is damaged then
it should be replaced. Do not attempt to make repairs yourself and do not attempt to y with a damaged harness.
If using a front mounted reserve parachute, the entire system should be checked every 6 months and the
parachute repacked according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
DISPOSAL
When the harness comes to the end of its useful life, remove all the metal parts and dispose the rest in an
environmentally friendly manner.
LIMITATIONS
The OZO² is a lightweight design intended specically for hike and y foot launching. Although EN load tested, it
is NOT suitable for towing; speed riding; aerobatics or excessive high G manoeuvres. Exposure to high G should
be limited to emergency situations only.

Summary
Safety is paramount in our sport. To be safe, we must be trained, practised and alert to the dangers around us.
To achieve this we must y as regularly as we can, ground handle as much as possible and take a continuous
interest in the weather. If you are lacking in any of these areas you will be exposing yourself to more danger than
is necessary.
Take very special care of your OZO², it is delicate and must be treated as such. When landing do not skim across
the ground or you will damage the harness, always get your legs down and do your upmost to preserve the OZO².
Respect the environment and look after your ying sites.
If you need to dispose of the OZO², do so in an environmentally responsible manner. Do not dispose of it with
the normal household waste.
Finally, RESPECT the weather, it has more power than you can ever imagine. Understand what conditions are right
for your level and equipment and stay within that window.
Happy ying & enjoy your OZO².
