INTENDED USE: Lightweight air sports equipment

with a maximum mass of less than 120kg, operated in the

paragliding division.

WARNING

Like any extreme sport, paragliding involves unpredictable risks which may lead to injury or death. By

choosing to ﬂy, you assume the sole responsibility for those risks. You can minimize the risks by having the

appropriate attitude, training and experience and by properly understanding, using and maintaining your

equipment. Always seek to expand your knowledge and to develop self-reliance. If there is anything you do

not understand, consult with your local dealer as a ﬁrst point of contact, with the GIN importer in your country

or with Gin Gliders directly.

Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that can occur while paragliding, this

manual makes no representation about the safe use of the paragliding equipment under all conditions.

Neither Gin Gliders nor the seller of GIN equipment can guarantee, or be held responsible for, the safety of

yourself or anyone else.

Many countries have speciﬁc regulations or laws regarding paragliding activity. It’s your responsibility to know

and observe the regulations of the region where you ﬂy.

FEATURES...

As usual safety is a priority for Gin Gliders. The Switch 2 has achieved a very good drop test result of ????g,

with less airbag volume than the Switch 1 this is a big step forward for our design team. The under-seat re-

serve with shoulder attachment points oers the best safety during a rescue deployment. The rescue contain-

er has been redesigned to aid a more ecient opening and closing sequence especially in higher G situa-

tions. The T-lock get up safety system heps decrease the risk of pilots forgetting to connect the leg straps.

Choosing only the best quality materials, buckles, zippers and state of the art fabrics. You will notice the dif-

ference.

The new rucksack layout has greatly improved the comfort and load distribution while carrying the harness. In

ﬂight the Switch 2 is a comfortable sit up harness designed for leisure pilots. The Switch 2 comes without seat

plate. The Switch 2 is one of our most versatile harness, suitable for pilots from the training hill to hike and

ﬂy even for the ﬁrst cross country ﬂights. The new geometry oers improved stability in the turn while also

dampening out turbulence to give the pilot a more comfortable feeling. This new geometry allows only one

size ﬁtting a wide range of pilots.

QUALITY

CAUTION: Make sure that the speed system is not

too short. The front risers of your paraglider must not be

pulled down in normal (unaccelerated) ﬂight.

BEFORE YOU FLY

Make sure your dealer has checked the harness for

completeness and basic settings. Your harness must

be assembled by a suitably qualiﬁed paragliding

professional, for example, your instructor.

Gin Gliders recommends that assembly be carried

out in the following order. If you are in any doubt

whatsoever about this procedure, please seek

professional advice from your instructor, GIN dealer

or importer.

INSTALLING THE SPEED SYSTEM

Assemble the speed system from top to bottom.

Pass the chord along the inside of the harness

and route it through the Speed pulley (1). From the

pulley, route the chord through the metal ring at the

bottom edge of the seat (2). From the metal ring,

to the plastic opening (3). Connect the chord to the

speedbar using a secure knot (4).

CONNECTING THE RISER CARABINER

The riser carabiner connection has 2 harness straps that must be attached, however the 2 webbings are

connected together for convenience. Follow the image to the RIGHT to properly connect the riser carabiner

to the harness webbing. The RIGHT side of harness has BLUE webbing connection, the LEFT side of the

harness has a RED webbing connection to match GIN Glider risers for a safe and easy connection.

QUICK-OUT Carabiners are not compatible with the Switch 2.

WARNING: Forgetting to close the leg straps may

place the pilot at risk of falling out of the harness

BLUE webbing indicates the RIGHT side of the harness.

WARNING: The back protection does not

eliminate the chance of injury as a result of a crash.

AIRBAG BAG PROTECTION

The advantage of the airbag back protection is the increased safety rating compared to other technologies

once fully inﬂated. Also the packing volume is reduced and the harness is lighter compared to a conventional

foam protector.

The airbag inlet is located between the legs of the pilot just below the seat plate. On takeothe harness will

be mostly inﬂated before the pilot is airborne thanks to the designed pre-inﬂation which is aided by Titanium

wire a thin foam layer. After takeothe harness is normally fully inﬂated in a matter of seconds.

In the event of an incident the inﬂated back protection will help to dissipate the force of the impact. However,

the back protection cannot completely eliminate the risk of injury to the pilot.

WARNING: If the harness is subjected to

temperatures exceeding 70 degrees Celsius the integrity

of the back protection may be compromised.

NOTICE: The back protection is EN / LTF certiﬁed.

WARNING: After any strong impact the back

protection should be professionally inspected for external

or internal damage. Any damage can decrease the

eectiveness of the back protection.
