Pre-delivery Inspection
The Tribe is delivered with speed system, rucksack, inner bag, compression strap, repair tape and
this manual. Your instructor or dealer should have made a test inflation followed by a test flight
before delivery.
Speed System
The speed system increases the maximum speed by lowering the angle of attack with a pulley-
guided, foot-operated system. Approx. 14 to 16 km/h gain in speed can be realized with the
accelerator at full travel.
It is important to have your accelerator system correctly routed through your harness and attached
to the risers with the supplied Brummel hooks. The length of the speed bar should be initially
adjusted while on the ground, sitting in the harness so that the legs are fully extended at the point
of full accelerator travel. It is helpful to have an assistant hold the risers taut while making this
adjustment. Subsequent fine tuning can be done on the ground following the first flight with the
speed system. If in doubt about this procedure, consult your instructor or dealer.
