SIV and Collapse lines
TheZeno wascertied withthe use ofcollapse lines,therefore ifyou wishto induce collapsesduring
SIV training collapse lines must rst be installed correctly. Ozone would like to remind you that SIV
manoeuvresshouldbelearntunderthesupervisionofaqualiedinstructorandalwaysusedwithcaution.
Westronglyrecommendexperttuitionoverwaterwithallthenecessarysafetyprecautionsinplace.Only
attemptSIVwiththiswingifyouhavepreviousSIVexperiencewithahighaspectratiowing,suchasthe
M6.EnsurethatyoufullyunderstandthecorrectandsafeuseofthisequipmentbeforeattemptingSIV.
Collapse lines are available as an optional extra and should be added to the wing before inducing
collapses. Be sure to attach to both sidesof the canopyfor symmetric deations.Please consult the
riggingdiagramonpage26.
Step1 Collapse Risers
Attachtheriserlinetotheloopoftheuppermostspeed-systempulleylocatedontheArisers.Thenattach
themaillontotheotherendofthecollapseriser.Repeatonotherside.
Step2 Upper Lines
Attachtheuppercollapselinestotheircorrespondingtabs.Thetabscanbefoundatthebottomofthe
openingsalongtheleadingedge.Linesshouldrstberoutedthroughthesmallholesonthelowersurface
andthenattachedtothetabusingalarksfoot.Z1attachestothetabinfrontofA1aandZ2tothetab
infrontofA2aetc.Please note Z12 does not have its own dedicated tab; it needs to be
attached to the A12 tab.
Step3 Mid Lines
Attachthemidlines:ZM1joinswithZ1&Z2only;ZM2joinswithZ3&Z4etc...
Step4 Lower Lines
Attachthelowerlinestothemidlines:ZR1joinswithZM1&ZM2;ZR2joinswithZM3&ZM4;andZR3
joinswithZM5&ZM6.JoinZR1,2&3toZRL1
Step5 Lines to Maillon
AttachZRL1tothemaillononthecollapserisers.Usetherubberbandsoralternativelysomestickytape
tosecurethemailloninplacetopreventitorthelinefromrotating.
Step 1. Lay the mushroomed
wing on the ground or on the
Saucisse pack if you are using
one. It is best to start from the
mushroomed position as this
reduces the dragging of the
leadingedgeacrosstheground.
Step 2. Group leadingedge (LE)
plasticreinforcementswith the A
tabs roughly aligned. Make sure
the plastic reinforcements lay
side by side. Note the glider is
NOTfoldedinhalf;itisfoldedas
acompleteconcertinafromwing
tiptowingtip.
Step 3. Group together
themiddleandthetrailing
edge(TE) ofthe wing by
sorting the concertina
folds near the B and C
tabs.
Packing
Toprolongthelifeofyourwingandtokeeptheplasticreinforcementsinthebestpossibleconditionitisveryimportanttopackthewing
carefully.
Ozonerecommendstousetheconcertinapackingmethodexactlyasshownsothatallofthecellsrestalongsideeachotherandthe
plasticreinforcementsarenotunnecessarilybent.ItisalsogoodpracticetousethesuppliedfoamFoldingPillow,thisreducestheangle
oftheleadingedgefoldandhelpspreservetheplasticreinforcements.Thefoldingpillowcanbecompressedwiththestrapandcarriedin
yourharness.Also,usingtheOzoneSaucissepackwillhelppreservethelifeofthewingandaidwiththespeedandeaseofpacking.
IMPORTANT
Only attempt SIV
with this wing if you
have previous SIV
experience with a high
aspect ratio wing,
such as the M6.
