1. Without strap tension, rst adjust the backrest incline at the desired angle.
>> Tightening will bring the backrest at a more vertical angle ( recommended posture for beginners ).
>> Loosening the backrest will tilt the back support rearward.
3. Adjust the shoulder straps length using the trimmers.
e pressure on the shoulder straps contributes to general comfort in ight. It must be precise: not too tight
nor too loose. e upper area of the straps must oer enough support to maintain your torso in a comfortable
position. tighten cord.

2. Adjusting the chest strap.
e distance to consider corresponds to the length between the middle points at the bottom of each carabiner.
e ideal distance varies between paragliding wing models. Adjust your harness’s chest strap according to the wing manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
tighten ( cord ).loosen ( tube cord ).
Tightening the chest-strap provides more stability but less piloting eciency while increasing the risk of riser twisting.
On the contrary loosening the strap provides more eciency but can be dangerous in turbulent aerology (increased risk of falling towards the col-
lapsed side of your glider).
