have been caught on a sharp object or even have been damaged whilst in its bag.
2. Check that the lines are not twisted or knotted. Divide the suspension lines into groups, each group coming
from one riser. By starting from the harness and running towards the canopy remove any tangles or twists in
the lines. Partially inating the canopy in the wind will help to sort out the lines.
3. It is particularly important that the brakes are clear and free to move. Check the knot which attaches the
brake handles to the brake lines. Avoid having too many knots, as there is a risk the knots could become stuck
in the brake pulleys. Both brakes should be the same length and this can be checked by asking an assistant to
hold the upper end of the brake lines together whilst the pilot holds the brake handles. The brake lines should
be just slack with the wing inated when the brakes are not applied. After checking the brake lines lay them
on the ground.
4. Always check the riser maillons and the attachment points to the paramotor frame or buggy. It is strongly
recommended to use a safety strap. Before getting into the harness you should be wearing a good crash
helmet. Put on the harness ensuring all the buckles are secure and properly adjusted for comfort.
5. Ensure the trimmers are fully closed and maillons at the same height – the position recommended for take-off.
