3. Before you fly
The Basis and Basis RC must be assembled by a suitably qualified paragliding professional, for
example your instructor. In particular great care and attention must be paid to the fitting of the
rescue parachute into the harness. The pilot should then adjust the harness for comfort.
Assembly
Gin Gliders recommend that assembly be carried out in the order below. If there is any doubt
whatsoever about this procedure, please seek professional advice from your instructor, GIN
dealer or importer.
Back and Lateral Protection
When you receive the GINSOFT III it may be folded in two. Please let it lay open for several
hours before you install it in the harness. To install it, open the zipper in the back pocket and
slide the GINSOFT III back protection inside. It needs to slide into the space underneath the seat
plate and behind the back support. Do not put it underneath the cross straps in the back of the
harness. Attach the Velcro tape found inside the Basis or Basis RC to the back of the GINSOFT III
so that the back protection cannot move. The protection should be not compressed in normal
use and should not hamper the space of the rescue or move out of its correct position.
You can add lateral protection to the Basis RC by fitting a pair of GIN side impact plates into the
side pockets on the harness, either side of the back protection.
Speed system
The speed system is assembled from top to bottom. Pass the cord of the speed bar down
through the two pulleys on each side of the seat plate and route it out through the eyelet under
