Also the main suspension loop, on the bottom of the riser, is covered red.
Here the main carabiner has to be hooked in, which is connecting the risers
with the harness.
The line connections are made to triangular Maillon rapides (quick links) fitted
with a rubber ”o- ring” (normally used as a seal) in the form of a ”figure eight”
which prevents any slipping of the lines on the quick link.
The NOVA TRITON is equipped with 3 risers per side. The A-lines are attached
to the A-risers. The B-lines and the stabilizer lines are attached to the B-riser.
The C-lines to the C-riser.
See line plan for details.
Speed system:
The NOVA TRITON can be equipped with a stirrup operated speed system.
The riser of the TRITON does not have a fixable trimmer.
The speed system affects the A-, B- risers. In normal flight all risers have an
overall length of 54.8cm.
When the stirrup is pushed out the A-risers are shortened by up to 18.2cm, the
B-risers by up to max. 14.1cm, the C-risers retain their original length.
This measurements influence the certification!
An incorrectly fitted speed system causes a loss of certification!
How is the speedsystem fitted?
Most modern harnesses have pulleys attached for speed system fitting. In
case not, it is important to attach pulleys (sewn on tabs) in such a way that
allows the pilot to maximize the power vector of his / her legs without ”pushing
back” in the harness.
The NOVA speed system, including ”Brummel-hooks” supplied, must be
assembled as per instructions.
The speed system cord is firmly attached (use bowline or other nonslip knot)
to the foot stirrup (webbing or alloy bar). The other end of the cord is run
through a pulley on the harness and then in an upward direction to be then
firmly attached to the ”Brummel-hooks”!
The length of the cord leading to the stirrup should be adjusted so that it is
easy to put your feet into the stirrup in flight but still short enough to allow full
speed system travel. (Use of 2 stirrups in a ladder fashion can enable you to
reach the full range if your legs are not long enough.)
