...and fix it immediately with one of the pins.
Then remove the frontal packing cord!!
Now close the last flap...
Put in the flaps a) and b). Therefore fold flap a)
down. Attach the release-handle to the small velcro
and put it into the therefore assigned openings.
Finally secure the handle with a special thread at the
white loops of the handle. (see next point!)
Now close the frontal flap of the container with a
second packing cord as you can see in the picture...

...remove the packing cord and close the container
with the second pin. Please check again that the
connection of the handle is not hindered in any way
and is still long enough, so that you can be sure that
the pull is coming first on the closing-pins and not on
the connection to the inner container.

How to secure the pin
To avoid an unintentional opening the DHV prescribe to use a
special thread to secure the handle. This defines a minium
opening force. This special thread must be put through the
loop at the harness and the loop at the handle, and have to be
fixed by a knot.
To secure the pin it is only allowed to use certified material
because if the strength of this material is too high the save
operation of the rescue system is not guaranteed.
This thread is supplied by Fly market GmbH & Co. KG! Do not
use other threads which may look the same!
Attention:
After every installation of a rescue-system in a harness there must be a test if the opening force is between 2 and 5
daN. If harness and rescue parachute are combined the first time a compatibility check have to be done by a
authorized person!
After the built-in of the rescue-system you have to take care that all maybe used packing-cords and so on have
been removed again!
Built-in of the back-protector:
It´s just allowed to use the therefore assigned back-protector P2. To build it in and take it out you have to open the
zippers inside of the rescue-system container and the storage-pocket at the back-part of the Duo harness. You
have to take care that the P2 is fixed against sliding around in it´s bag.
Therefore you have to put the P2 into the Nylon-cover which is between the two zippers. Furthermore you have to
put the protector under the belts in the upper back-part of the harness. After you build in the P2 or taking it out, you
have to close the zippers at the rescue-container and inside the storage-pocket at the back-part again!
Towing:
Mounting the towing-device: If you fly tandem at the winch, the towing-device is generally mounted to the
passenger´s harness. So please pay attention to the manual of the passenger´s harness.
Note: The used connecting links must stand at least 150kp per side! If you are not sure about the mounting, an
authorized person or the manufacturer should be consulted.
Life span, replacing time of construction units, repair hints:
The harness Duo was built for high loads and strong use. Accordingly, for the choice of the materials particularly
high criteria were set. However the life span depends also on the treatment of the harness by the pilot, so we
recommend to check the harness from time to time, if there are faulty or damaged parts, which should be replaced
or repaired then.
Especially take care of defective seams, which should be immediately repaired by an authorized workshop.
Further you have the possiblity to send us the harness for checking.
In order to prevent problems with the harness we recommend:
- avoid handling with fire and sharp edged articles near your harness.
- avoid unnecessarily long sun effect, because ultraviolet radiation destroys the molecular structure of the material
- avoid the contact with seawater or acid liquids.
Maintenance and control:
The harness Duo is more or less maintenance-free. But regular control in short periods gives you the guarantee of
an unrestricted function of your belt system. Take particularly care that the Click-Lock-buckles stay free of dirt. If
needed you can oil the Click- Locks a little bit.
Close the container with packing cords. First the
rear flaps have to be closed in the right order
(1,2,3,4). The connection of the handle runs
between the flaps 2) und 4). You have to take care
that the connection of the handle is not hindered in
any way!
