NOTE: The standard or neutral position of the risers is when the trimmers are pulled down to the
slowest position. In this position the maillons on the risers are level.
IMPORTANT
This wing has passed the
criteria required by the
DGAC and has been load
tested to the EN 926.1
standard. In addition to our
own extensive testing, the
24, 26 and 28 sizes have
also been independently
ight tested to the EN
926.2 standard with the
trimmers set to the slow
position. Releasing the
trimmers, or ying outside
of the EN certied weight
range invalidates any EN
ight certication.
RISERS
*Sizes24,26and28
IMPORTANT
In order to be able to use
the trimmers and access
the full speed range of the
wing, the trimmer locking
maillons must be removed
before ight.
IMPORTANT
If you adjust the brake
handle height, you
MUST re-lengthen
the brake lines
accordingly.

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
The Mojo PWR 2 24, 26
& 28 are certied EN A
with the accelerator,
but with the trimmers
set to the slow
position. Releasing
the trimmers, or
ying outside of the

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 conditions
should be avoided.

IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at

Ozone strongly recommend to NOT perform Spiral Dives with Big Ears engaged.
NEVER induce Big

to a major deation.
Always pull the Big

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.
