1. Safety
Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport. When flying a paraglider you ha e to accept risks of injury and/or e en
death. Incompetent or improper use of the harness may add to those risks. In case of any doubts please ask your
dealer or manufacturer.
Dudek Paragliders do not bear any responsibility for damages or injuries resulting from paragliding
activities.
2. Description
Techno is a light harness with a pod. Due to light and durable materials of best quality it weighs just 3,5 kg in M size.
It is a perfect proposition for cross-country and bi ouac pilots. Small weight and dimensions make long treks on foot
easier. Reduced, elastic seat plate used in Techno harness is an intermediate solution between a "hammock" and
traditional, rigid seat plate harnesses. Comfortable back support and new, ergonomic seating present you with
maximum snugness during long flight hours. Large adjustment range make sure e ery single pilot will be able to find
his optimum. Redesigned strap scheme brings great stability and significantly reduces danger of launching with
unclipped leg/chest straps. Certified, 15 cm thick airfoam impact pad offers ery good protection of the pilot's spine.
The pod Integrated rescue chute container is located on the back, behind the impact pad. Release handle is fixed in
easily accessible area on the right side of the harness. There is an additional cache under seat plate. The Disco
features features easily replaceable, ball-bearing Duroll pulleys in order to impro e the speedsystem operation. The
Disco is capable of flying with a footrest, a ailable as option. Its four-point adjustment of its length allows for any
footrest inclination as well. The rescue chute is located in a frontcontainer. When the rescue chute is acti ated, the
pod opens automatically too. There is a ballast pocket under the seat plate. The harness features easily replaceable,
ball-bearing Duroll pulleys for better speedsystem operation.
3. Speedbar
Speedbar lines must be led through the pulleys (under the seatplate and on the back support). Then put it through the
slits in the pod and fix a stoper, accompanied by speedsystem clip. Connect the speedbar to the footrest with a rubber
band. Find the best length of the rubber, so that speedbar will be easily accessible in flight. In order to adjust the
whole system you ha e to sit in the harness while it is hanged by the paraglider’s risers. At full speedbar the pulleys
on the risers should touch. When necessary, adjust the lines later according to your experience in flight.
!
Do not adjust the speedsystem lines while in flight.

4. Rescue chute installation
The Techno harness has a frontcontainer to hold the rescue chute.
It is fixed to the chest strap with a central, well- isible release handle.
Short -strap is integrated with the chest-strap and together clipped into
the main carabiners.
Connect the -strap to the rescue chute riser. Tighten up the connection and co er it with a neoprene part attached to
the frontcontainer.
! !
If the rescue chute riser is finished with a big loop, make sure that the connection is placed exactly in the
middle of the loop. fter tightening the loop must be evenly loaded, and the connection place must not
move.

If you are installing the rescue chute for the first time, it is necessary to run a test opening, to make sure the
container was correctly closed and to get familiar with required release force. In order to do that hang the harness, sit
in it, grab the release handle and pull it igorously away from the frontcontainer. When running this exercise it is not
recommended to throw the rescue away, as it will result in opening the canopy bag. Pack the chute into the
frontcontainer again.
The rescue chute must be periodically aired and repacked according to its manual. Recommended equipment for the
Techno harness are the Globe 120 or Globe 90 rescue chute, manufactured by Dudek Paragliders. Installation of
many other parachutes (including steered reser es) is possible, as long as they fit in the container.
! !
To avoid accidental opening of the rescue system, pins closing the container must be checked before each
flight!
The frontcontainer has a Velcro strap on its top to hold the instruments. If the instruments are placed at an
uncon enient angle, you can use an additional instrument panel (included). The panel has an elastic cache on the
underside (you can place e.g. auxiliary powerpack in it) and another pouch for a safety knife on the front.
