Advance LIGHTNESS 3/4 WEIGHTLESS Speed System

One size of speed system for all sizes of LIGHTNESS 3/4 harness.

Includes the parts seen in the product image.

Setting up the speed system

The speed system is already pre-assembled. You only need to adjust it to the appropriate length according to your needs. The easiest way to do this is to hang up the harness for adjustment.

1. Connect the speed lines of the LIGHTNESS 3/4 to your paraglider using Brummel hooks or anchor hitches.
2. Position the knots on the speed lines inside the speedbag to the correct position and pull the anchor hitches to the same position each side.
3. The speed bar is held in position by an elastic line attached to the carbon footplate. This elastic line is looped in the middle of the footplate as standard. If preferred, it can also be attached in one of the loops on the sides of the footplate.

• The speed system is correctly set when you can reach the full range of the acceleration system with the second rung of the speed loop.
• Make absolutely sure that the speed lines are not adjusted so short that the wing would be permanently accelerated in normal flight.

Handling

Symmetrical acceleration

The two rungs of the LIGHTNESS 4 speed loop are reinforced in the middle. This not only increases comfort when pushing the accelerator, but also makes it easier to center the feet in the accelerator and thus accelerate symmetrically.

Changing to the second step

Use only one foot to accelerate with the first rung, and leave the other on the footboard. The second foot takes over the load when stepping into the second rung. Be careful not to press the heels into the speedbag fabric. Heels should not be lower than the bottom of the footboard. Low heels can spoil the clean speedbag airflow (more drag), and could overstretch and damage the material.

• Warning: Make sure the speed system is always connected to the wing in flight, even when you do not intend to use it. A loose speed line could prevent a successful reserve deployment.
