Pre-delivery Inspection
The Vantage is delivered with speed system, rucksack (reversible with fast packing bag), inner
bag, compression strap, repair tape and USB Memory stick for 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. 30% 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 system
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.

IMPORTANT: Using the accelerator and trimmer should be avoided near the ground or in
turbulence. The use of the accelerator and trimmer decreases the angle of attack, which can
cause a more aggressive recovery after a collapse.
