GIN Genie Race 3 - Manual (Page 36)

Lateral Straps- two straps (1)
The lateral straps adjust the angle between the thighs and the back. Lengthening the straps
increases the angle and vice-versa. The easiest way to adjust them correctly is during a flight in
calm air. Remember that flying in the supine position (i.e. leaning back), reduces the stability of
the harness and increases the risk of riser twists after a deflation. Make adjustments to the metal
Edelrid buckle and then match the adjustment on the upper plastic buckle.
Seat Straps (2)
The seat straps change the depth of the seat. Adjust to find a comfortable position. In the
sitting position, lengthen the straps to their maximum at first and then use the plastic buckles to
shorten the straps to find a comfortable position with good back support. Lengthening the straps
also helps you to slide easily into the harness at take off, while shortening the straps helps you to
be in the standing position for landing.
Side Straps (3)
The seat adjustment straps allow you to adjust the angle of the front of the seat. To get the
optimum setting you can loosen these straps to the maximum in the sitting position and start
pulling the straps until you get the comfort from the leg support depending on the flying style of
the pilot.
Speed Bar
Hanging in the simulator, adjust the length of the speed bar cord so that the bar hangs at least
15cm below the front of the harness. Making the cord too short could result in the speed system
being constantly or unintentionally engaged during flight. It is safer to start with the speed bar a
little long and shorten it following your first flights. Test the speed bar in flight only after you are
comfortable with your new harness, and always do so in calm conditions with ample clearance
above the ground.
