THE RISERS
For the Universal we have chosen four-way risers equipped with:
=
ELR (Easy Launch Riser) system. This is an
specially marked A riser (yellow ribbon),
=
speed-system affecting A, B and C risers when
engaged, featuring ball-beared pulleys and special
line;
=
trimmers of red tape with right scale , designed for
quick and easy replacement in case of deterioration;
=
various levels of the pulleys, to be used depending
on the hangpoint level;
=
ALC+ allows for effective turns even at high speed,
without distorting reflex profile too much. Steering is
done with dedicated handle with red balls, fixed on
the risers with a magnetic clip (prior to the start).
=
TEA -Torque Effect Adjuster – allowing for
eliminating the effect of engine torque, tending to
turn the paraglider in the direction opposite to the
propeller's rotation. The system can be adjusted to match your specific
combination of paramotor/propeller.
For quick and easy recognition in emergency, some of the risers are
distinguished with coloured band as follows:
A - yellow (used for launching)
A' - blue (used for big ears)
B - red (used for B-stall)
D - grey (needed to keep the glider down in strong wind – aborted
launch).
Main A row suspension lines connect to an A riser (yellow) and A' (blue). B
row and stabiliser lines go to B riser (red), C lines go to C riser (black
neoprene) and D lines to D riser (grey), as well as steering lines (through
their pulleys).
Brake handles are attached to the steering lines at optimal point,
guaranteeing safe and effective operation. On the main brake line there are
three points marked, high, low and middle, to be used depending on the
harness hangpoint level.
On adjusting the steering lines see chapter 3.1.
Our newest brake handle used in Universal besides its attractive, light
design, features:
= a swivel – preventing possible twisting of the
steering line,
= TCT (Triple Comfort Toggle) system,
= EK (Easy Keeper) system – see further pages
