1. Leg strap adjustment GET UP SYSTEM The high position of the leg attachment typical of the Get Up system provides ample movement for the pilot s legs Normally the adjustment set by the manufacturer should be suitable In the event that it is difficult to get into the harness after the take off run we recommend checking the seating angle of inclination with the No 2 adjustment described in point 2 2 1 If the problem persists shorten the length of the leg straps by adjusting the two double window buckles located under the central chest strap T LOCK SYSTEM The same principles described for the Get Up system apply but in this case you will have to adjust the double window buckles located on the leg strap closing buckles we Woody Valley 15 2 2 5 Stabilizer This small but important adjustment makes it possible to stabilize the harness when you exert pressure on the speed bar preventing excessive tilt of the back Its mode of operation is very simple when you push the speed bar this small plastic buckle blocks the shoulder Straps at the point at which they slide in the chest strap making the entire strap system more rigid and improving overall harness stability This adjustment Is correctly set by the manufacturer ATTENTION Every adjustment must be made symmetrically on both sides ww Woody Valley 16 3 FLYING WITH WANI 3 1 Preflight checks For maximum safety use a complete and consistent system of pre flight check2. a safety course 2 1 4 Suitable reserves Reserve compartment volume In general comparatively bulky old style reserves are more difficult to release from modern compact harnesses Certified volume ranges for the WANi are a function of harness size as follows M harness 3 to 6 Litres L harness 3 to 6 5 Litres XL harness 3 to 7 Litres 2 1 5 Extracting the reserve parachute It is vital to feel periodically for the position of the reserve parachute deployment handle during normal flight so that the action of reaching for the reserve parachute handle becomes instinctive in an emergency In emergency situations the deployment procedure is as follows Look for the reserve parachute handle and grasp it firmly with one hand Pull the handle outwards in order to extract the reserve parachute from the harness container Look for a clear area and in a continuous motion throw the reserve parachute away from yourself and the paraglider On landing adopt an upright body position and ensure that you perform a PLF Parachute Landing Fall to minimize the risk of injury Woody Valley 10 2 2 Harness adjustments WAN harness provides a number of methods of adjustment so that the pilot can fly in the ideal position A little time has to be invested in finding the optimum position but this effort will be rewarded by exceptional comfort in flight WANI is supplied already adjusted to a standard ergonomic setting apart from adjustments requi
