SWING and the
environment
Protection of the environment, safety
and quality are the three core values of
SWING Flugsportgerte GmbH and
they have implications for everything
we do. We also believe that our
customers share our environmental
awareness.
Respect for nature and the
environment
You can easily play a part in protecting
the environment by practising the
sport of paragliding in such a way that
there is no damage to nature and the
areas in which we fly.
Keep to marked trails, take your
rubbish away with you, refrain from
making unnecessary noise and respect
the sensitive biological equilibrium of
nature. Consideration for nature is
required even at the launch site!
If you are a smoker, please do not leave
cigarette butts behind.
Paragliding is, of course, an outdoor
sport –protect and preserve our
planet’s resources.
Environmentally-friendly
recycling
SWING gives consideration to the
entire life cycle of its products, the final
stage of which is recycling in an
environmentally-friendly manner. The
synthetic materials used in our
products must be disposed of properly.
If you are not able to arrange
appropriate disposal, SWING will be
happy to recycle the product for you.
Send the glider with a short note to
this effect to the address given in the
Appendix.

Section 02
Safety
02 Safety
WARNING
The safety advice given below must
be followed in all circumstances.
Failure to do so renders invalid the
certification and/or results in loss of
insurance cover, and could lead to
serious injuries or even death.
Safety advice
All forms of aerial sport involve certain
risks. When compared with other types
of aerial sport, paragliding has the
lowest number of fatal accidents
measured according to the number of
licensed pilots.
However, few other sports demand
such a high level of individual
responsibility as paragliding. Prudence
and risk-awareness are basic
requirements for the safe practice of
the sport, for the very reason that it is
so easy to learn and practically anyone
can do so. Carelessness and
overestimating one’s own abilities can
quickly lead to critical situations. A
reliable assessment of conditions for
flying is particularly important.
Paragliders are not designed to be
flown in turbulent weather. Most
serious paraglider accidents are
caused by pilots misjudging the
weather conditions for flying.
Please bear in mind that any aerial
sport is potentially dangerous and that
ultimately you are responsible for your
own safety.
We therefore strongly encourage you
to fly in a conservative manner. This
applies both to the choice of
conditions in which you fly and also to
the safety margin which you allow
when carrying out the various flying
manoeuvres.
We recommend that you only fly using
paragliding equipment, harness,
reserve parachute and helmet that
have been tested and certified.
The CONNECT RACE LITE complies
with the airworthiness requirements
for hang gliders and paragliders at the
time of delivery.
The CONNECT RACE LITE leads the
way in development standards for
paraglider harnesses. It will remain
airworthy for many years if you look
after it properly.
This Manual must be passed on to any
new owner of the harness. It forms part
of the certification and belongs with
the harness.
Observe the other specific safety
advice in the various sections of this
Manual.
Safety notices
Safety notices are issued when defects
arise during use of equipment which
could possibly also affect other
examples of the same model.
The notices contain instructions on
how to inspect the equipment
concerned for possible faults
and the steps required to
rectify any faults.
SWING publishes on its
website any technical safety
notices and airworthiness instructions
which are issued in respect of SWING
products.
Services such as RSS are also available
which allow internet users to follow
various websites and any changes
made to them without having to
access them individually. This allows
much more information to be followed

Safety
Section 02

than was previously the case. You
should therefore visit the safety pages
of the certification agencies on a
regular basis and keep up-to-date with
new safety notices which cover any
products connected with paragliding
(refer to Appendix for addresses).
WARNING
The harness owner is responsible for
carrying out the action required by
the safety notice.

Diagram
What does the CONNECT RACE LITE look like?
CONNECT RACE LITEFig. 1
Concept
The CONNECT RACE LITE is the result
of many years of collaboration
between Woody Valley and Swing to
develop cross-country harnesses. It is
intended for all pilots who have high
demands when it comes to harness
weight, but who do not want to
sacrifice comfort, control and
aerodynamics.
The CONNECT RACE LITE is fitted with
a pocket for the optional Anti-G drogue
parachute.
Target group
The harness was designed for pilots
who also enjoy hiking, and it can be
used for hike & fly tours as well as
extended cross-country flights. It is
extremely comfortable, and this makes
it suitable for anyone looking for a
high-quality and lightweight pod
harness with practical features and
compact dimensions.
Intended use
The CONNECT RACE LITE was
developed as a lightweight pod
harness for everyday use, with the
maximum level of comfort.
It may only be used as a paraglider
harness in combination with
“lightweight aerial sports equipment”
with an unladen weight of less than
120kg.
Equipment
Safety features
Safety Lock system
The CONNECT RACE LITE uses the
proven Safety Lock system, to
minimise the risk of closing the cockpit
without doing up the chest strap.
Nevertheless, even this system cannot
protect against failure to fasten the leg
straps.

10
Section 03
Harness features
Safety Lock systemFig. 2
Protector
The CONNECT RACE LITE comes with
your choice of a 16cm foam protector
or an inflatable protector. Both types of
protector are LTF certified in
combination with the harness.
Using the inflatable protector reduces
the dimensions and weight of the
harness.
WARNING
The CONNECT RACE LITE has LTF
certification only in combination
with one of the two protector
options.
Installing the foam protector
To install the protector, open the zip for
the protector compartment located
beneath the seat plate. Place the
protector into the pocket and close the
zip.
Installing the foam protectorFig. 3
The inflation tube is fed outwards to
the right through the red loop, and
inwards behind the red carabiner. Do
up the zip for the protector
compartment to close it again.
Feeding through the tubeFig. 4
Lightshield
The CONNECT RACE LITE has back
protection that is TÜV/GS certified in
accordance with EU standard
89/686/EEC Category 2.
The Lightshield does not have any
bearing on the results of the
certification test, so it can be removed
by undoing a zip behind the back
support, which is between the base
and the large pocket, which reduces
harness weight further.
LightshieldFig. 5

Harness features
Section 03
11
Reserve compartment
The CONNECT RACE LITE has a rescue
chute compartment underneath the
seat, immediately behind the back
protection. The rescue chute must be
attached to the harness before it is
stowed in the integrated container.
The CONNECT RACE LITE is delivered
complete with a handle built into the
inner container.
No other inner container or handles
should be used.
Information on installing the rescue
system is in the section “Fitting the
Reserve System”.
Comfort features
Removable seat plate
The Connect Race Lite has a
removable seat plate. This provides
much higher lateral stability for the
harness.
With use, the seat plate develops
creases and moulds to suit the pilot’s
body shape, without losing any of its
lateral stability.
To remove the seat plate, take out the
protector and then pull the seat plate
out of the pocket.
Removing the seat plateFig. 6
Follow this procedure in reverse to
insert the seat plate. Make sure when
you are doing this that the leg straps
are correctly aligned and are
positioned again behind the seat plate
pocket in the back region.
ABS stability setting
The attached ABS strap allows you to
adjust the CONNECT RACE LITE to
make it more stable. The more tightly
the strap is pulled, the more stable and
therefore less agile the harness is. The
factory setting (indicated in red) makes
the harness slightly more stable.

12
Section 03
Harness features
ABS stability settingFig. 7
Urine tube
There is an opening on the left-hand
side of the harness in the orange
section through which a urine tube
can be fed.
Opening for urine tubeFig. 8
Mesh back
The back section has mesh spacer
fabric to maximise seating comfort.
This ensures optimum pressure
distribution for your back and good air
circulation.
Windshield
The optional windshield protects the
pilot against the wind and cold. It is
secured to the cockpit using the three
snap fasteners under the Lycra cover. It
should always be removed and stored
in its bag when you are not flying to
prevent any damage.
Windshield and bagFig. 9
Windshield when installedFig. 10
40 mm block pulleys
The CONNECT RACE LITE can be used
with the optional 40mm block pulleys
(AV006). To install this pulley, release
the bottom loop, pass it through the
lower loop on the strap and then
connect it again. Make sure that the
pulley is going in the correct direction,
as indicated by the arrow.

Pockets
Rear storage compartment
To reach the rear storage pocket, unzip
fully the aerodynamic rear section of
the harness. It can be folded down to
allow better access.
This pocket was specifically designed
and sized to hold an inner bag and
items of clothing or a sleeping bag if
necessary. Inside there are two
pockets, one to hold the Streamer
hydration system bladder and one to
hold trekking poles.
Rear storage compartmentFig. 14
Hydration system pocket
The CONNECT RACE LITE is
compatible with the Streamer
hydration system. Place the Streamer
in the pocket shown in the picture,
which is located in the rear storage
compartment. The drinking tube is fed
through the opening marked “H2O”,
then to the small red strap on the left-
hand side of the carabiner hang-point,
also marked “H2O”.

PLEASE NOTE
Packing too much in the rear pocket
could interfere with correct inflation
of the aerodynamic section of the
harness.
Arrange all items evenly in the rear
pocket to prevent the container
from becoming misshapen.
Do up fully all zips in the
aerodynamic rear section.
Trekking poles
There is a pocket for trekking poles in
the rear storage compartment, next to
the pocket for the hydration system.
Pocket for trekking polesFig. 17
Cockpit and side pockets
The CONNECT RACE LITE has several
pockets that are easy to reach while
you are flying. First, the CONNECT
RACE LITE has a generous pocket in
the cockpit.
Cockpit pocketFig. 18
Next to the cockpit there is a small
pocket on the speed bag with a safety
loop e.g. for a camera or radio.

The harness also has two very large
zippered side pockets with safety
loops.
Side pocketsFig. 20
Bottom pocket for tent or ballast
The CONNECT RACE LITE has a pocket
underneath the seat, which is ideal for
a small tent and an ultralight sleeping
mat. Alternatively this pocket can be
used to hold ballast.
Pocket underneath the seat plateFig. 21
Anti-G drogue parachute
The Anti-G drogue parachute is a
safety device that offers increased
safety during spiral dives by reducing
G-force in a spiral by up to 40%. The
system is easy to use and works with
any type of paraglider. The drogue
chute is stored in the cockpit pocket
just below the flight instruments.
The bridle for the drogue chute is
attached to the right carabiner of the
harness. To operate the drogue chute
correctly, simply open the zip, take out
the drogue chute and throw it in the
direction of the spiral.
It is possible to deactivate the drogue
chute after a spiral dive using the
handle and to land as normal with it
deployed but disabled. Alternatively, it
can be deactivated after exiting the
spiral dive and pulled in, storing it in
the cockpit once again.


PLEASE NOTE
To ensure correct use of the Anti-G
drogue chute, it is important that
you read and understand the
instruction manual before using it
during flight. The Anti-G drogue
chute is optional equipment that
can be purchased separately.

Adjusting the cockpit angle
Connect the cockpit strap to the chest
strap and shorten it as needed in order
to adjust the cockpit according to the
weight of the instruments used and
the desired angle.
Cockpit angle adjustmentFig. 25
Fitting the reserve system
Only an appropriately qualified person
should fit the reserve.
The steps to be followed are given
below.
WARNING
In addition, any sections of the
reserve parachute instruction
manual that are relevant to fitting
the reserve must be followed.
⚠
DANGER
If your harness should ever get wet
(e.g. because of a landing in water)
the reserve system must be dried
out and repacked before your next
flight.
Harness specific inner container
The CONNECT RACE LITE is delivered
complete with the handle built into
the inner container. Do not use any
other inner container or handle even if
they seem to be appropriate.
WARNING
Use only the original deployment
handle!
No reserve is mounted in the
delivery condition!
First of all, you pack the correctly
packed rescue, without the inner
container, into the inner container of
the CONNECT RACE LITE. Please also
refer to the packing and installation
instructions of the reserve and check
the approval of the reserve
manufacturer.

All SWING ESCAPE and ORANGE
CROSS rescue systems have been
tested by us for compatibility and can
be used with the CONNECT RACE LITE
inner container.
Inserting the reserve into the inner
container
The repacking of a reserve from the
associated inner container into the
CONNECT RACE LITE inner container is
shown below using the SWING
ORANGE CROSS as an example.
WARNING
In addition, it is essential that you
follow the relevant points in the
operating instructions for the
reserve.
Changing the inner container can
have a negative effect on the
opening behaviour of your reserve.
Fig. 2 Container with outer line bundles
Place the containers next to each
other, paying attention to the direction
of the closure loop.
If, as with the ORANGE CROSS, there
are bundles of lines on the outside of
the container, remove them and
combine them with rubber bands, but
do not change the length.

Close the container with a line bundle.
The eye of the line bundle should be
approx. 4cm large, so that nothing can
loop through and block the release
(eye too long), and so that the
container is securely closed and does
not open unintentionally (eye too
short).


PLEASE NOTE
Line bundles attached to the outside
of the rescue container are used to
first stretch part of the lines and
provide some distance to the pilot
before the container opens. This
order should be maintained when
repacking the rescue.
Fitting the bridle
There are three ways in which the
reserve chute can be connected with
the harness.

Harness features
Section 03
19
Loops
In the first method, the harness’s
connecting bridle is put through the
loop of the reserve’s bridle. The reserve
itself is passed through the large loop
in the reserve’s bridle, and this
connects the two. The connection loop
must be pulled as tight as possible so
as to avoid friction between the two
bridles during the shock caused when
the reserve opens. To ensure that the
connection loop between the two
remains tight, it should be held in
place by using a Neoprene sleeve.
Screw-lock links
The two lines are inserted into the
screw-lock links, which are tightened
by hand.
A neoprene sleeve is then placed over
the connection to hold it in place. This
prevents twisting and possible cross-
loading.
This method can absorb a higher
shock load than the previous one and
is therefore the method
recommended by SWING. The screw-
lock links and neoprene sleeve are
available from SWING.
Reserve with dual bridle
If a steerable reserve chute with dual
bridle or any other reserve with dual
bridle is used, the reserve is connected
using the loops of the harness bridle
which are located near the padded
shoulder straps. In this case, the
harness bridle is not needed and
should be folded up, fastened using
two rubber bands and then stored
away under the cover behind the
pilot’s neck.
For this attachment method, you need
two screw carabiners with a breaking
strength of at least 2400 daN. Make
sure that the bridle is long enough for
the reserve to be positioned in the
harness’s reserve container.
There must be enough line length to
ensure that, on activating the reserve
chute, the reserve stays in the reserve
container until it is thrown.

PLEASE NOTE
Check that the steering handles for
the steerable reserve parachute can
be reached during use.
Inserting the reserve
Place the packed container next to the
harness in the later installation
position.
The connection triangle between the
handle and the inner container (to the
parachute bag) must be positioned
upwards and outwards.
Then place the packed container
beside the harness in the position it
will ultimately be installed.
Undo the zip for the V-line channel so
that the V-line is not caught up. Then
connect the reserve to the V-line using
one of the methods described above.
Store the V-lines neatly in loops in the
outer container of the harness and
then place the reserve itself into the
container. Place the reserve into the
container for the harness in such a way
that the delta quick link between the
handle and the inner container is
positioned upwards and outwards and
the suspension line loops are behind
the reserve.

20
Section 03
Harness features
Inserting the reserveFig. 33
⚠
DANGER
It is essential to check that none of
the lines are knotted or twisted up in
the reserve.
Closing the container
Feed a flexible plastic tube (included
with SWING reserves) or a thin cord
(paraglider line) into the elastic loops
that later close the container. Close the
container by pulling the loops through
the eyelets using the cord.
Thread the cord into the upperFig. 34
loop
First secure the upper loop using the
short splint pin from the deployment
handle. Insert the end of the pin into
the opening behind the loops. Remove
the cord carefully without damaging
the loop.
