ACCELERATION SYSTEM
The skywalk TONIC can be equipped with a foot-operated speed system. The Speed Sys-
tem works on the A- and B-riser. Exact specifications can be found on the riser illustra-
tion.
Installing the accelerator equipment:
Most standard harnesses have pulleys attached
for the speed system. The Speed system lines run
from the front through the pulleys on the harness
upwards and are knotted to the brummel hooks
at the appropriate length.
A correct adjustment of the acceleration lines
will assure that the foot bar can be reached easi-
ly with angled legs during flight. The entire speed
range can be accessed by stretching out the legs.
Prior to launch, the brummel hooks of the foot-
operated accelerator and the speed system have
to be connected to the riser. Check that the speed system line runs freely.
Function: The pilot pushes on the speed system, thereby shortening the A- and
B- risers. Illustration of accelerated risers - page 54.
The TONIC-Riser comes with a safety stitch on the trimmer loop.
To activate the trimmer, this seam must be removed including the additional black band.
It is important to make sure that the red trimmer loop or other parts of the
harness are not damaged.
With unremoved safety stitch the LTF / EN certification is also given in not hung
condition of the trimmer loop.
The trimmer loop can be hung in the main carabiners, so the pilot is within the DHV weight
limits in the LTF / EN approved area.
If the trimmer loop is “not” hung in the main carabiners with removed safety stitching,
the TONIC is not authorized by LTF / EN.
