the front corner of the seat. Attach the elastic cord to the speed bar to prevent tangling in case
of a parachute deployment.
Rescue Installation
The Basis (when combined with a suitable outer reserve container, like the GIN Reserve outer
container or the GIN Yeti outer reserve container) and the Basis RC are compatible with any GIN
rescue parachute such as ONE G and Yeti rescue. Other manufacturer’s rescues may be also be
used, but as already mentioned earlier in this manual:
Every first installation of any rescue system into the harness (that means every new
combination of harness and rescue system) must be checked by a qualified paragliding
professional for compatibility and to make sure that it functions correctly. Prior to the
installation, you should also ensure that you have the necessary materials to complete the
procedure, for example, suitable maillons and thread.
Rescue parachutes should be repacked at least every 150 days; so installing your rescue in a
new harness may also provide a good opportunity for a repack. Check your rescue manual for
further details.
To attach the rescue bridle to the harness webbing
A Mailion Rapide type connector is recommended. The breaking strength of the connector should
be rated at least 9 times the maximum weight, for example, a 6mm stainless connector – 2730
Kg.
The Maillon should be held in place with a GIN neoprene reserve maillon cover, rubber bands,
tape or plastic heat shrink tube may also be suitable. Webbing to webbing connections are not
recommended, due to the danger melting, or of getting the knot the wrong way round, which
significantly weakens the connection and is also difficult to disconnect the rescue parachute if
you land in the trees or other inaccessible situation.
Attaching rescue deployment bag to the harness deployment handle
The rescue container of the Basis RC comes with its own deployment handle. This handle and its
strap must be connected to the deployment bag of the parachute. Connect it with the loop at the
side of the deployment bag when installing it into the Basis RC. If your parachute’s deployment
bag does not have the proper loop, please contact your parachute dealer or a qualified
professional to attach the deployment handle by sewing or to add a new loop in the correct
position on the deployment bag.
