______________________________________________________________________________Speed systemIt is important that the speed system isconnected correctly, and the lengthchecked, to ensure smooth operation inflight.The link between the foot stirrup and therisers consists of two cords and twobrummel hooks. The speed stirrup itself iscomposed of a foot bar and webbing withloops sewn on either end to attach thecords. These cords should be run upthrough the eyelets and pulleys on theharness to connect with the pulley systemon the front of the risers (see Illustration).This illustration refers to the UP harness,but many harnesses are similar. If in anydoubt, please ask the harnessdealer/manufacturer.The length of the cords should be set sothat, at full leg extension, the pulleys onthe risers are just touching each other.Any shorter and the stirrup will be difficultto reach; longer and the top of the speedrange will be unavailable.During take off it is advisable to fix theaccelerator stirrup underneath theharness to avoid any danger of trippingover it.Suitable harnessesAny harness with hang points nearchest height is suitable for use with theUP Ascent 2. The lower the hang pointof the harness, the better the pilot cansteer by weight shift. A LTF or ENcertified harness is recommended.The harness design should alsoguarantee that it’s possible toaccelerate the UP Ascent 2 up to themaximum speed.Note that the height of the hang pointalso affects the brake line length. Ifyou have a question about yourUP harness, contact your dealer orUP International.Brummel hook forcombination betweenfoot bar and riserRope of speed systemPulley rollerFoot bar with2 stepsIllustration 7:Components of thefoot accelerator21
