Pre-delivery Inspection
The Bolero 4 is delivered with speed system, rucksack, inner bag, riser cover, compression strap,
repair tape and this manual. Your instructor or dealer should have made a test inflation followed by a
test flight before delivery. Each Bolero 4 is checked for conformity with the EN and LTF tested
specimen before it leaves the factory.
Speed System
The speed system increases the maximum speed by lowering the angle of attack with a pulley-guided,
foot-operated system. Approx. 10 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.
