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 BIPRO 3 greatly contributes to safety, correct function and comfort in flight. No protector can offer complete protection against injury. The BIPRO 3 foam protector dampens...

Preparing the product Delivery Before delivery every ADVANCE product has to be checked by the dealer for delivery package contents and correct initial settings. A completed warranty form makes sure that deficiencies of the product, attributable to the manufacturer, are covered by the ADVANCE warranty (see under “Warranty” in the section” Service”). §§ Three spreader versions to go perfectly with the BIPRO 3: Hard Hybrid (with removable carbon rod), Soft, and Soft Trim. All include the quicklink (Maillon Rapide 5 mm) that must be used to connect the spreaders to the BIPRO 3. We ask you to complete...

Closing the harness The BIPRO 3 has the well-known ADVANCE Get-Up closure system, now for the first time featuring two Edelrid Triple-Lock buckles. This very effective buckle replaces the previous problematic Click-Lock buckles. They close under load. Three deliberate consecutive actions are necessary (hence triple lock) to open it. This makes an unintended opening impossible. ADVANCE is the first manufacturer to include the Edelrid Triple-Lock buckles in its harnesses. To close the buckle, put the open end , at a 90 degree angle, over the hook with the yellow safety catch . Then pull the harness...

Adjusting the harness The BIPRO 3 is very easy to set up. Put the harness on, close the Getup System and hang the BIPRO 3 in a harness stand. Caution: Always check correct clip in for the Edelrid Triple Lock buckles. Tip: The passenger harness can have a significant effect on the pilot’s sitting position. We recommend that adjustment is made with a passenger harness available and both harnesses hung up with spreaders. The shoulder, side and seat angle buckles have neoprene covers. The adjustment straps can be set to any position, so that the sitting attitude can be set quickly and easily in flight....

Info: Info: To achieve satisfactory settings the back compartment should be packed with the things you will take when flying. For a realistic flying position the reserve should also be installed. 1 Upper body recline angle Upper body angle is varied using the back straps. Pull them in until you are sitting reasonably upright and feel comfortable. These straps lie relatively high at the sides, and this not only gives good back support but also takes unnecessary pressure from the shoulders. Fully pulled in back straps result in an upright position. Completely released back straps allow for an almost...
