PRO GUIDE // BREEZE2
ALWAYS RUN THE SPEED BAR LINE BETWEEN THE V-LINES AND THE HARNESS,
OTHERWISE DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT RESERVE COULD BE IMPEDED.
STEERABLE RESCUE PARACHUTES
The BREEZE2 can also be used with steerable reserve parachutes, provided that the
specified volumes are observed. To assemble the rescue system, two screw carabiners
with a total tensile strength of at least 2.400daN are directly connected to the color-
coded suspension points in the upper part of the V-line channel.
The control handles of the rescue system can be stored in the small compartment in
the upper part of the V-line channel. The straps are routed from the V-line channel
into the rescue compartment. The unused serial V-line can remain in the upper part
of the V-line channel.
During assembly, make sure that the control handles of the rescue parachute fit in the
upper part of the V-line channel and do not come into contact with the inner container.
COMPATIBILITY TEST
The correct installation of the reserve chute should now be verified with a test deploy-
ment. To do this, put on the harness, close the leg straps and hang the main carabiners
in a harness simulator. Then pull out the reserve chute by the handle.
For this test, it is not enough to deploy the reserve chute without sitting in the harness.
It must be possible for you to reach and pull the handle with no problem from the flying
position, in accordance with the instructions of this manual. The deployment force must
not be below 2 daN and must not exceed 7daN. In case of uncertainties you should con-
sult a specialist or contact your competent skywalk dealer.
The reserve chute must be deployed with the correct throwing technique, with a con-
tinuous and steady pull in a sideward movement away from the harness. Otherwise, de-
ployment may be difficult.
BEFORE EACH FLIGHT, CHECK TO SEE IF THE RESCUE HANDLE IS IN THE
RIGHT POSITION AND WHETHER THE SPLINTS OF THE HANDLE ARE SITTING
CORRECTLY. REACHING FOR THE RELEASE HANDLE TO TEST ITS POSITION
EVERY FLIGHT CAN HELP YOU MEMORIZE THE POSITION SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

3. After the rescue is correctly placed in
the harness, it must be closed by
means of the cotter pins on the res-
cue handle. To do this you need two
short auxiliary lines (due to the low
friction we recommend unsheathed,
not too thin paraglider lines), which
you thread into the two loops on
the outer container. Pull the two loops
through the two eyelets with the help
of the auxiliary lines.
4. Secure the two loops with the cotter
pins on the rescue handle.
5. Insert the ends of the cotter pins into
the neoprene pockets.
6. Secure the handle in the neoprene
pockets, making sure that the handle
is not twisted and that the Velcro is
in the correct position.
7. Pull off the auxiliary lines carefully
and slowly. Moving too quickly could damage the loops.
8. The sliders of the zippers must still touch the stoppers, guide them back into
position in case they have slipped. Close the zippers completely, making sure
they disappear completely into the zipper garages.
9. Check that the cotter pins take up the tension on the zippers by holding the
harness above and below the rescue compartment and pulling it apart.
MOUNTING THE FRONT CONTAINER
To connect the front container statically with the harness, the front container should
be attached to the harness at least three places. You can read about how to pack the
reserve chute in the front container in the operating instructions of the front reserve
container. When installing the V-lines, the following points should be noted:
1. The V-lines are installed under a piece of Velcro at the height of the shoulder straps.
Open this Velcro and guide the V-lines through the small opening at the bottom of
the Velcro.
2. Close the Velcro again.
3. Open the piece of Velcro on the right and guide the V-lines through the channel.
4. Guide the V-lines in a circular arc with a radius of about 7 cm around the righthand
carabiner into the front container.
