Pre-delivery Inspection

The Tribe is delivered with speed system, rucksack, inner bag, compression strap, repair tape and

this manual. Your instructor or dealer should have made a test inflation followed by a test flight

before delivery.

Speed System

The speed system increases the maximum speed by lowering the angle of attack with a pulley-
guided, foot-operated system. Approx. 14 to 16 km/h gain in speed can be realized with the

accelerator at full travel.
It is important to have your accelerator system correctly routed through your harness and attached
to the risers with the supplied Brummel hooks. The length of the speed bar should be initially

adjusted while on the ground, sitting in the harness so that the legs are fully extended at the point

of full accelerator travel. It is helpful to have an assistant hold the risers taut while making this
adjustment. Subsequent fine tuning can be done on the ground following the first flight with the

speed system. If in doubt about this procedure, consult your instructor or dealer.
