INTENDED USE: Lightweight air sports
equipment with a maximum weight of less than
100kg..
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.
The Yeti Xtrem harness is certified according to EN 1651 with a max load of 100kg. This harness is for
paragliding use only, extreme flight manoeuvres including SIV safety training are not recommended.

About Gin Gliders
Dream
In forming Gin Gliders, designer and competition pilot Gin Seok Song had one simple dream: to make
the best possible paragliding equipment that pilots all over the world would love to fly—whatever their
ambitions.
At Gin Gliders, we bring together consultant aerodynamists, world cup pilots, engineers and paragliding
school instructors, all dedicated to fulfilling this dream.
Touch
We’re a “hands-on” company that puts continuous innovation and development at the center of
everything we do.
At our purpose-built R&D workshop at head office in Korea, we are able to design, manufacture, test-fly
and modify prototypes all in a matter of hours. Our international R&D team is on hand both in Korea and
at locations worldwide. This guarantees that your equipment has been thoroughly tested to cope with the
toughest flying conditions.
Our own production facilities in East Asia ensure the quality of the finished product and also the well-
being of our production staff.
Believe
We believe that the product should speak for itself. Only by flying can the pilots understand their
equipment and develop trust and confidence in it. From this feeling comes safety, comfort, performance
and fun. The grin when you land should say it all!

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.
Setting up
Speed system assembly
The Yeti Xtrem 2 is fitted with a fully functional, easy to use and lightweight speed assembly. Careful
attention has gone into the precise position for maximum comfort. To assemble the speed system, first
pass the chord through the ceramic ring (1). Next, pass the chord through the metal ring at the bottom
edge of the seat (2). Connect the chord to the speedbar using a secure knot.
The black pastic stopper on the speed system should be placed above the ceramic ring during assembly
This can be used to hold the speed bar close to the harness during ground handling and take off. Once in
the air simply push the speed bar and the stopper will slide out of the way.

Main carabiner
Connecting the main carabiner on the Yeti Xtrem is made very
simple. The carabiner attachment points are colour coded to
match your GIN Glider. BLUE on the right and RED on the left.
It is important that the carabiner remains in the upright
position so the load is distributed lengthwise. Be sure to check
that your carabiner gates are securely closed before takeoff to
ensure they do not open or break during flight.
The chest strap is incorporated into the leg straps on this
harness. The connecting loops are colour coded to avoid incorrect
connection. The leg straps should be connected into the main
carabiners. Some pilots can leave the leg straps constantly
connected and opt to use the harnes as a “step-in” harness. Or,
you can disconnect the leg straps each time after landing, ensure
to reconnect before take-off.
CAUTION: Forgetting to connect the leg straps
will lead to a severe accident.
10
Connecting the front rescue
The Yeti Xtrem can be used with a front rescue container.
Connect the rescue risers to the main carabiner. Be sure that the
carabiner gate is facing the pilot to allow the reserve to freely
slide up the carabiner in the event of a rescue deployment.
The reserve risers must be connected to the carabiner before
the paraglider risers are attached so the reserve hangs freely in
the forward position.
CAUTION: Make sure that carabiner gate faces
the rear of the harness to allow the reserve
risers to move unimpeded.
