Speed system
The speed system is assembled from top to bottom. Pass the cord of the speed bar through the
pair of pulleys near the side pocket and route it out through the eyelet near the front corners at
each side of the seat. Attach the elastic cord to the speed bar to prevent tangling in case of a
parachute deployment.
Rescue Installation
The Gingo II is compatible with GIN rescue parachutes. Other manufacturer’s rescues may be
used as well, but as already mentioned earlier in this manual:
Every first installation of a rescue system into the harness (that means every new combination
of harness and rescue system) must be checked by a qualified paragliding professional. 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 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 rubber bands, tape or plastic heat shrink tube. Webbing
to webbing connections are not recommended, due to the danger of getting the knot the wrong
way round, which significantly weakens the connection and also difficult to disconnect the
rescue parachute when you landed on the trees.
