ACRO 3 manual Introduction

Advice Caution ! Danger !!

If you are reading those lines, it is because you are eager to enter and seat inside

your new toy to defy gravity with series of spectacular daring maneuvers or sim-

ply to escape the daily routine.

Before heading out, take the time to install your reserve parachute, and properly

adjust your harness. These steps are of vital importance. Follow them before

ﬂying and for peace of mind.

After reading this manual, we suggest you check your harness by hanging in it

before ﬂying.

N.B : Three important icons will help you when reading this manual
