If you are installing the rescue chute for the first time, it is necessary to run a test opening in order to make sure the

container was correctly closed and to get familiar with release force required. In order to do that hang the harness, sit

in it, grab the release handle and pull it vigorously away from the harness, perpendicular to the flight direction. When

running this exercise it is not recommended to throw the rescue away, as it will result in opening the canopy bag. Pack

the chute into the container again.

To avoid accidental opening of the rescue system, pins closing the container must be checked before each

flight!

The rescue chute must be periodically aired and repacked, according to its manual. Proven equipment for the Disco

harness is the Globe 120 or Globe 90 rescue chute, manufactured by Dudek Paragliders. Installation of many other

parachutes (including steered reserves) is possible, as long as they fit in the container.

6. Harness/paraglider connection

The Disco harness is equipped with aluminium carabiners Dudek 20 kN strength.

Use them to connect the harness to the risers. Another thing to connect before

launch are the speedsystem lines of the harness to the speedsystem of the risers.

It is recommended to replace main carabiners with new ones after 300 hrs airtime.

Before launch check if the carabiners are locked and guarded against accidental opening.

The only safe way of attaching the tow line is a dedicated tow release. The Disco does not feature any dditional points

to fix the tow release, therefore it is to be mounted directly on the harness carabiners or the canopy risers.

8. Harness straps adjustment

Before adjusting the straps please install rescue chute and fill the back pocket as for normal flight. Watch

out for symmetry – left and right side should be adjusted the same. First, test flight should be done in

easy weather conditions, with necessary corrections applied afterwards.

Do not adjust the harness while flying.
