About ADVANCE

Easy to close and compact

The clever ZIP Light front container goes especially well with the

EASINESS light reversible harness, but is also very suitable for use

with other harnesses. Unique: After easily closing the four stretchy ne-

oprene container aps the container volume is compressed by closing

the convenient zip on the back.

Notable features of the ZIP Light Front

Container

The front container has an easy-to-pull reserve handle with the stand-

ard ADVANCE yellow plastic cables ( 3.7 kg release force ). There’s a

Velcro surface on the top for xing a small vario or other mini electron-

ics of your choice.

The ZIP Light front container is not suitable for steerable reserves.

The ZIP Light front container has a number of special features:

§3 sizes (S: 2,0–2,7 l, M: 2,5–3,5 l, L: 3,5–5,5 l)

§4 stretchy easy-to-close front container closure aps

§Zip fastener along the back to compress the container after the aps

have been closed

§Easy-to-pull reserve handle (release force 3.7 kg) with two yellow

ADVANCE plastic release cables

§Velcro surface to hold a small ight instrument

The ZIP Light Front Container

Safety advice

The ZIP Light front container is only to be used for paragliding.

It is important that the ends of the ZIP Light front container

Y-connections are hung in the harness carabiners before the paraglider

risers. In addition, the carabiner gates must face rearwards (opposite

the ight direction), so that, if the reserve is thrown, the reserve con-

nection does not cross the paraglider risers.

Correct installation of the reserve must be tested by means of a per-

sonal trial release (compatibility test).

General recommendations for paragliding

Paragliding requires suitable training and an adequate knowledge of

the equipment, as well as the necessary insurance and licence. A pilot

must be able to correctly assess the current weather conditions before

embarking on a ight. In addition the pilot’s ying skills must be ade-

quate for the demands of the paraglider and equipment to be used.

Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable footwear and clothing, and the

carriage of an emergency parachute are all essential. Before every

ight all parts of the equipment should be checked for damage and

airworthiness. A takeo check must be carried out before every ight.

Every pilot bears sole responsibility for his own paragliding risks, in-

cluding injury and death. Neither the manufacturer or seller of a para-

glider can guarantee the safety of a pilot, or be held responsible for it.

Delivery

Before delivery every ADVANCE product must be checked by the

dealer for completeness of the delivery package, and correct basic

settings.

Delivery package

The ZIP Light front container package contains:

§Front container with a four elastic container aps

§Reserve handle including two ADVANCE plastic release cables

§Reserve Y-connection

Setting up

Checking the reserve volume

The ZIP Light front container is available in three sizes S, M and L. Size

S holds a reserve of between 2.0 to 2.7 litres, size M from 2.5 to 3.5 li-

tres and size L from 3.5 to 5.5 litres. The volume of your reserve will ei-

ther be on a small label on the reserve (e.g. on the Companion SQR’s

certication placard) or in the reserve’s manual.

It is important that your inner container is the same longish shape as

the ZIP Light front container, in other words your reserve should be

folded to the same long shape.

Info: Apacked reserve’s volume also depends on packing style

and skill, and can therefore vary. The following formula gives

a very rough estimate of volume – based on reserve weight

(Reserve kgs x 2.7 = volume in litres). It could still be that a re-

serve which meets a container’s certied volume requirements,

according to the formula, does not achieve a problem-free

release.

Fitting the reserve handle Inner container

Fasten the reserve handle – supplied with the ZIP Light front container

– to the centre loop on your reserve inner container. It is important that

the reserve handle acts on the middle of the inner container. If your in-

ner container does not have a central loop it cannot be used with the

ZIP Light front container.

Caution: The connection between the reserve handle and the

inner container should never be under tension (not too short)

while the reserve is in place. There must be enough free travel

so that the reserve handle can pull the yellow cables free before

pulling on the inner container.

Connecting the reserve to the

ZIP Y-connection

Connect the reserve bridle to the ZIP Light front contain-

er Y-connection with a quicklink of at least 2400 daN working load.

Stabilise the webbings in position on the quicklink – for example with

rubber o-rings or Neoprene loops – so that they do not slip round the

quicklink when the reserve is thrown (this could both side load the

quicklink and cause heating by friction).

A direct loop to loop joining of the two connections may only be done

by the harness manufacturer or someone trained and authorised by

him. If this simple connection is not correctly done the webbing can

slip when the reserve opens and the resulting friction and heat can

melt the connection, causing failure.
