INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on purchasing an excellent piece of Hang Gliding equipment...the
Rotor Harness! Your new harness ensures greater comfort and better performance
in flying. Please read these instructions carefully, noting the many important
details that will improve the way you use you harness. |

Philosophy:
Rotor's committment is to the total satisfaction of the pilot. Rotor Harnesses
are constantly improving. Your new Rotor is a design innovation, that's
why when you fly in the Rotor equipment you know that you are flying the
best equipment which has gone through a big evolution of performance, comfort
and safety. Please note: Your Rotor Harness has gone through several
small design changes...and will continue to change for the better. Your
harness may be slightly different (i.e. zippers, buckles, etc) than is
depicted here. |

Parachute Installation:
The parachute has to be installed on the right side of the pilot. The internal
parachute compartment rests just above the pilots thighs. (Pic#1 ) |

| Open the container and put the lines of the parachute in
first and then put the parachute with the handle on the outside.Very
important, the handle must be upside down resting against the mylar inside
the container. (Pic#2) |
 |
|
|

| With the parachute inside the compartment it's time to
put the bridle under the flap and up to the carabiner as seen in the picture.
It is Very important that when running the bridle up to the
carabiner that you leave some slack so that the bridle can move with the
CG slider. (Pic#3) |

| For less drag, be sure to put any remaining bridle into
the parachute container. Do not leave excess hang out. Keep the bridle
flush with the harness. (Pic#4) |
 |

| There is a sheath covering the main. You need to feed the
bridle up through the sheath to cover the main. The best way to do this
is by using some type of hook. Feed the hook down through the covering
from the carabiner, hook it on the bridle loop and pull it back through
the covering. (Pic#5) |

| To complete the parachute process you will put the safety
bungees from the inside out, then close the flaps and over the flaps you
put the Velcro parts for more safety and for faster deployment we recommend
you use the Rotor handle that comes with the harness. (Pic#6) |

CG Adjustments:
The back place has six holes which you are going to be able to adjust with
three adjustable points. Then find a place to hang from, not the glider,
and see if it is adjusted properly. In case you need to change the CG follow
the instructions below. (Pic#7) |

| There are two sides to the back plate. Turn backplate to
the white side and you will find all the slider, hardware and the rope.

| If your position is excessively head down you must move
the rope forward. You must be sure to leave the width of three finger between
the back plate and the center of the rope. (Pic#9) If your position is
too head up you should move the rope back. Again make sure you leave a
three finger width between the back plate and the center of the rope. |

ATTENTION!
Make sure you tighten the bolts and tie at knot at the end rope so it
cannot slide back through. (Pic#10) |

LEG STRAP ADJUSTMENTS:
In order to adjust the leg loops you should put the harness on (with the
Ieg loops attached) and hang it to simulate your landing position. Adjust
the sliding buckles accordingly. (Pic#11) |
 |
|
|

SHOULDER STRAP ADJUSTMENTS:
Hang in the harness and simulate your flying position and adjust the shoulder
buckles to your comfort and secure with the Velcro. (Pic#12) |

AEROTOW LOOPS:
The Rotor Hamess comes standard with aerotow loops. However, if you are
not aerotowing, the loops fit snugly back inside of the loop pockets. (Pic#13) |
 |
|
|

SAFETY SYSTEM:
The internal safety system in the Rotor Harness has continuous webbing
inside from the carabiner, wrapping down through the hamess which creates
a lifevest-type system that will Support 2000 kilos. (Pic#14) |
