7. Harness/paraglider connection

Soul harness is equipped with aluminium Dudek carabiners of 20 kN strength. Use them to connect the risers to the

harness. Another thing to connect before launch is the speedsystem lines of the harness with 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 tow line is a dedicated tow release. The Soul does not feature additional points to fix

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

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

out for the 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.

9.1 Shoulder straps

Thanks to adjustable shoulder straps the Soul can accommodate pilots of almost any height. They should stay on your

shoulders rather tight, with just a little play. Too short straps will make difficult comfortable seating after launch and

can limit your movement in flight. A clip on the shoulder traps will make sure they stay in place during launch and

flight. Additionally, there is an alarm whistle fixed to the clip.

9.2 Side straps

They determine the seat/backrest angle. Initial adjustment should be done before the first flight, with the harness

hanged from a ceiling. All settings are to be verified in first flight and can be further modified at any time. Bear in

mind that when the backrest is too much reclined, there is increased risk of getting a twist in case of big deflation.
