6. to the harness bridle First system Use a screw lock karabiner with a breaking strength of at least 2 000 kg In this case the bridles should be held in position within the karabiner using elastic bands to prevent the karabiner from rotating and taking the strain laterally instead of vertically The karabiner s screw lock should be tightly screwed shut to avoid any possibility of it opening accidentally This type of connection can absorb a higher opening shock than the second system and for this reason this is without doubt the recommended system ww Woody Valley Second system The reserve parachute bridle is passed through the loop at the end of the harness reserve parachute bridle The reserve parachute itself is then passed through the large loop in the reserve parachute bridle This connects the two bridles The loops should be pulled as tight as possible to avoid any chance of dangerous friction developing between the two bridles during the shock caused when the reserve parachute opens To ensure that the link between the two bridles remains tight remember to fasten the knot using the Velcro strip on the harness reserve parachute bridle Third system If you are using a reserve parachute with directional control and dual bridle or if your reserve parachute in any case has a double riser bridle it can be connected to the harness using the two loops positioned at the base of the harness bridle near the padded shoulder straps In t
7. 2 Pockets EXENSE EXENSE AIRBAG has a large dorsal storage space and small lateral pockets designed so their contents cannot fall out during flight even it the pockets are open The pockets are placed on the sides of the harness The left hand pocket has a special radio compartment with an elastic safety strap 3 3 Dual flying The EXENSE harness can be used for dual flying while the EXENSE AIRBAG harness is best not used for flying dual because a passenger in front of the pilot would obstruct the inflation valve preventing the airbag from reaching its optimum protective capacity 3 4 Flying above water It is inadvisable to use the EXENSE EXENSE AIRBAG harness on flights over water In the event of the pilot being forced to land on the water the foam dorsal protection or the airbag which are filled with air may force the harness into a position that holds the pilot underwater Woody Valley recommends the use of a Suitable lifejacket when flying over water ww Woody Valley 3 5 Tow bridle connection The EXENSE EXENSE AIRBAG harness can be used for towed launches The tow bridle release should be hooked directly to the main karabiners ensuring that the karabiners are positioned with the opening bar facing the rear For further details refer to the documentation provided with your tow release or ask a qualified towing instructor at your flying site 3 6 Landing with the EXENSE and EXENSE AIRBAG Before landing slide yo

9. Woody Valley exense Please read this manual before flying with the EXENSE and EXENSE AIRBAG for the first time WoodyValley THANK YOU We would like to thank you for having chosen one of our products and we invite you to read this important document the User Manual for the harness Please pay Special attention to the two most important paragraphs regarding Insertion of the reserve parachute The reserve parachute is a piece of equipment that may save your life It must be treated so that it works correctly when it is required whether this happens in two days time or two years from now Adjusting the harness The harness forms the connection between the pilot and the paraglider and it is an essential component in optimizing performance and the pleasure of flying A bad harness that is well adjusted may enable you to fly well but a good harness that is badly adjusted may put you off flying altogether We are confident that this harness will give you greater comfort control performance and enjoyment in flight We are conscious of the fact that reading an instruction manual is not an exciting experience However please remember that the respective product is not a citrus juicer or a mobile phone and that correct use of the harness helps reduce the risk of flying accidents This manual contains all the information necessary to assemble adjust fly and store your harness Thorough knowledge of y

11. by an official harness or reserve parachute dealer or by a flying instructor Deployment of the reserve parachute should be perfectly feasible from the normal flying position ww Woody Valley 2 2 5 Reserve parachute deployment 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 After the reserve parachute has opened avoid entanglement by pulling in the paraglider gripping at least one D line or the brake lines in order to collapse the glider On landing adopt an upright body position and ensure that you perform a PLF Parachute Landing Fall to minimize the risk of injury 2 3 Harness adjustments The EXENSE EXENSE AIRBAG 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 Before making any adjustments the reserve parachute must be in position To
12. d bar the bar must be at a distance no greater than 10 cm below the front of the harness If the speed bar cord is too short it could cause a constant force on the bar during flight so that the accelerator is unintentionally engaged at all times in flight It is safest to take off with the speed bar a little too long progressively shortening it during the next flights Remember that all adjustments have to be performed symmetrically on both sides ww Woody Valley 4 2 Cockpit and front ballast assembly On all our harnesses a special front container can be fitted complete with ballast map case and instrument panel The only exceptions are harnesses with a front mounted reserve parachute or in which the cockpit has been integrated into the structure of the harness itself The cockpit and front ballast container is fixed using the webbing loops which are hooked into the main karabiners The karabiners should be opened and passed through the red loops of the support strap with the opening bar facing the rear A webbing triangle is sewn to both sides of the container with a fastening buckle that can also be used for adjustment By modifying the position of the fastening buckle and the length of the strap the height and inclination of the instrument panel can be varied as required 4 3 Relax bar A relax bar can be fitted to all our harnesses except for those already incorporating this accessory The relax bar is used to keep the legs
