2. SET UP
2.1 Fitting the reserve
It is highly recommended that the initial installation of the
reserve parachute be carried out by a qualified professional.
Ask your paragliding equipment supplier or instructor to do it
for you and familiarise yourself with the process. The size of the
reserve pocket on the Gii 5 is suitable for most current reserve
systems. If it is not possible to connect the harness reserve
handle to the loops on the parachute deployment bag inside
the pocket, please consult your supplier who may be able to
supply an alternative deployment bag. Loops can be sewn at
an appropriate place on any deployment bag, but this must be
carried out by a qualified person only.
1) Connect the reserve bridle to the harness risers, secure with
the O rings.
2) Attach the handle to the center loop on the container. Slightly
crease the reserve in two and insert into the pocket.
3) Thread the leafs in sequence using the line provided from the
reserve packing & maintenance kit (located in the rear harness
pocket).

4) Locate the pins in their corresponding colour coded loops
and be sure to remove the packing line! Stretch the rubber
O-ring over the pin.
WARNING!
After installation of a reserve parachute in the harness, it is
absolutely essential to do a simulated deployment under
a static swing, ensuring that the parachute release system
operates correctly and the parachute comes out easily. The
elastic cords which close the reserve pocket must be checked
regularly. If the cord is worn, it must be replaced. Each time a
reserve parachute is installed, check that the cord is in good
order by applying a load of 10 kg. Before each flight, check that
the pins and handle are located correctly.
2.2 Adjusting the harness
1) Lumbar Adjustment
An excessively reclined position reduces stability and increases
the risk of risers twisting in the event of a spin.
2) Shoulder Strap Adjustment
For optimum comfort during take-off and ease of achieving
your preferred flying position the shoulder straps should not
be excessively tight. The straps may appear loose while in the
seated position but some play is required to avoid excessive
strap pressure in the standing position.
3) Main Chest Strap Adjustment
Tightening the chest strap increases the efficiency of the Auto
Balance System (ABS, i.e. stabilising system) but decreases
the roll response of the wing. With increased tightening, the
pilot may feel more stable in turbulent conditions and the wing
will be more stable in the event of an asymmetric collapse.
However, the wing may be less inclined to bank when turning.
The design of the integrated ABS allows for good stabalization
throughout the adjustment range.
RESERVE DEPLOYMENT
5) Complete the sequence by locating the pins and handle
under the neoprene flap and secure with the velcro flap.

WARNING!
The chest strap adjustment can be quite sensitive and it is best
to first test this under a static swing, and then in still air flight,
before trying to adjust it during a turbulent flight. Before taking
off, do not forget to pre-adjust your chest strap. This will result
in a more comfortable flight.
2.3 Fitting the speed kit
Speed System Adjustment
• The speed system should be adjusted to the correct length
using a harness simulator.
• The speed system line must not run through the reserve
handle!
• The Gii 5 has a passage on both sides of the harness behind
the side pockets where the speed system cord must pass.
