ACRO 4

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The ACRO4 harness is designed for aerobatic paragliding, targeting experienced pilots. It is an evolution of the ACRO-3 model, certified to meet European and German safety standards. The manual emphasizes the importance of adjusting the harness using static hang-posts before the first flight.
Technical Specifications
The harness is available in three sizes (S, M, L) with specific dimensions and weight limits. It includes features like a Bumpair impact damping system, compatibility with quick-out carabiners, and options for under-seat and dorsal reserve parachute pockets.
Size Choice
A height/weight table is provided to assist in selecting the correct harness size. It is recommended to test the harness under a hanging device at a retailer.
Components List
The harness includes various components such as POIA4B handles, BUMPAIR 17, wooden Acro seat-plate, Dyneema® riser sets, and self-locking carabiners.
Accessories Assembly
Instructions are provided for assembling accessories like the seat-plate, BUMPAIR, foot-rest, and speed-bar system. The BUMPAIR should be inspected every two years or after significant impacts.
Reserve Parachute Installation
Detailed procedures for installing reserve parachutes under the seat and dorsally are included. The manual stresses the importance of professional installation and regular extraction tests to ensure functionality.
Adjustments and Flight Phases
Guidance is provided on adjusting the harness for comfort and safety. The manual outlines pre-flight checks, take-off, in-flight behavior, speed-bar use, and landing procedures.
Maintenance
Recommendations for cleaning, storage, and longevity of the harness are provided. The manual advises on repairs and recycling of materials.
Warranty and Disclaimer
The document includes warranty information and a disclaimer regarding the use of the harness.
Pilot's Gear and Service Book
Additional sections cover pilot gear recommendations and a service book for maintenance records.
Specifications and Safety Warnings
The document emphasizes that no shock absorber can guarantee complete protection against injuries, particularly to the spine and pelvis. It is crucial to inspect and repair any damaged AIRBAG at a qualified facility. Modifications or improper use can dangerously affect the equipment's performance.
Pre-Flight Checklist
1. Ensure the correct shape and inflation of the AIRBAG/shock absorber.
2. Inspect the AIRBAG seams and fabric condition for any damage such as holes or tears.
The protection has a lifespan of five years under normal conditions, but should be discarded after a major hard landing.
Compliance and Maintenance
The equipment conforms to EPI requirements, and test results along with the EU declaration of conformity are available at www.supair.com.
Service Book
This section is for recording scheduled maintenance of the ACRO4 harness, including purchase date, owner's name, and workshop details for care and resale.
