Safety information Like all commercially available reserve parachutes, paraglider harnesses are never suitable for free fall parachuting because their design and construction details do not allow such a thing. Neither the reserve parachute nor its attachments to the harness can withstand the loadings involved in an abrupt opening. All harness adjustments should be made before the harness is flown. Correct adjustment of the SUCCESS 5 greatly contributes to safety, correct function and comfort in flight. No protector can offer complete protection against injury. The SUCCESS 5...

Adjusting the harness The SUCCESS 5 is easy to adjust. Put the harness on, close the chest strap and leg straps (2-buckle system) and hang the SUCCESS 5 up by its carabiners in a harness stand. Neoprene covers protect the shoulder, back and chest strap buckles. Their straps are smoothly adjustable over their full lengths, so the sitting position can be quickly and easily adjusted in flight. The development team have defined the basic settings, and these are indicated as standard by grey sewing on the shoulder, back and leg straps. Pictures in this manual show the various adjustment...

1 Adjusting the upper body angle Upper body attitude is altered by the adjustable back straps. Pull them in to a reasonably upright back position at which you feel comfortable. These straps are mounted relatively high at the sides to give good back support, and take weight off your shoulders. Pulling in the back straps results in an upright back – loosening them completely will put the pilot in something approaching a lying position. ADVANCE recommend the basic setting. 2 Setting the shoulder straps The SUCCESS 5 shoulder straps can be adjusted to suit the pilot’s height and desired sitting...

6 Adjusting the speed system The speed system should be adjusted to a length where the full travel of the paraglider speed system can be used. Make sure that the speedlines are not set too short – the wing must not be permanently accelerated in flight. 7 Mounting the foot stirrup and a cockpit The optional foot stirrup can be attached to the two tape loops u nderneath the chest strap. These loops can also be used to additionally fasten a cockpit or front container using softlinks. Both of these additional items can also be attached to the carabiners. Replacing parts The SUCCESS 5 comes with...
