COMPATIBILITY VERIFICATION
After packing the combination of harness and rescue should be tested under close, to real life scenario, settings and
circumstances. The harness is fixed at the main suspension and the pilot takes his usual flying position. That is the
only way to check if the rescue system can be used without complications in case of emergency in his flying position.
Especially the length of the arm is significant to release the rescue parachute without delay or problems in case of
emergency. Please also carefully follow the instructions in the booklet or manual of the harness manufacturer.
Pay close attention that the connection line between rescue release handle and rescue container is not adjusted too
long and not too short. The rescue release handle should be able to be released without major resistance and needs
to be tested through the compatability verification.
PLEASE NOTE_
The trial release needs to be performed after every re-packing. The opening force
has to be between 4 and 8 daN. The volume of the packed rescue parachute depends on the quality of the packing
and the possible compression by the harness.

OPERATION LIMITS
The rescue system is not designed as a regular flying parachute, the maximum permitted speed at which it may be
released is 115 km/ h - 32m/ s. The Xfusion has an
operation time limit of 10 years.
Requirement for that is the
compliance with the regular, authorised check intervals and the verifiable, recorded packing in the booklet. It is a
mandatory requirement by law to replace the rescue system after this period of time, even if it hasn’t been activated
or used.

CLOSING WORDS - HANDLING
The Xfusion is based on the latest development, technologies and know-how and therefore stands for the maximum
of safety standards in rescue systems. Nevertheless, we would like to ask you to always perform aviation with the
required caution and respect. That also includes the flight preparation and analysis of the meteorological
circumstances and correct assessment of the weather situation. Operate defensively, because the fun factor rises
considerably, once the risk factor sinks.
Obviously the regular and proper inspection of your flight equipment is part of serious flight preparation. To have the
rescue system ready in case of emergency, we want to encourage you to check and re-pack your Xfusion within the
recommended intervals and by professionals in order to guarantee lasting performance and quality. The durability
and operation safety of the equipment depends very much of the pilot’s caution, treat and maintain your Xfusion with
care. We recommend to check your rescue parachute regularly for damages and signs of wear and tear.
PLEASE NOTE_
TIP_ A quick reach for the rescue release-handle at every flight automatizes the
movement and position for a case of emergency. If possible, we also recommend dry-throwing training to train the
release under stress-free circumstances, mindful and repeatedly.
