WARNING
Paragliding is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury including
bodily harm, paralysis and death.
Flying an Ozone paraglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that paragliding
involves risks.
As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility for all risks
associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equipment will
increase these risks.
Ozone paragliders are only suitable for qualified pilots or those under instruction.
Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufacturer,
distributor or dealers is excluded.
Make sure you complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of all of your
equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged equipment.
Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots, and always fly with a reserve
parachute.
YOUR ULTRALITE
The Ultralite is the lightest wing Ozone has ever made, it is the perfect mountain
descent wing, making the climb a pleasure and also giving enough performance to
thermal, ridge soar and even take you XC. It has been developed from the Element, a
safe, stable planform that has impeccable launching characteristics and added in-
flight comfort
Our aim whilst designing the Ultralite was to produce the lightest available wing on the
market whilst retaining Ozone's trademark handling and, safety. It has been certified at
DHV 1-2 and complies with the new CEN tests, so is suitable for a wide range of pilots.
If you are a keen mountaineer or hill climber and require the lightest possible glider,
then the Ultralite is for you.
Weight saving has been uncompromised; a simple, uncluttered wing design made
from 27gr Porcher Marine Skytex throughout except at critical, structural areas such
as the leading edge and cell walls where the heavier, but more durable 36g Skytex has
been used. You will notice the risers are completely different and the maillons have
been removed with the lines linked directly to the risers for added weight saving. The
new risers are made from strong, warp resistant Dyneema which are both long lasting
and light
All of this innovation makes the Ultralite 23 weigh in at a mere 2.85kgs!
Please note.The light weight materials will last very well, however they will not accept
the same level of abuse as a glider made from heavier cloth. Groundhandle to a
minimum and always ensure your glider is dry before packing.

Brake Lines
The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. We feel it is better to
have slightly long brake lines and to fly with a wrap (one turn of line around the hand).
However, if you do choose to adjust them, do so in a progressive manner to ensure
that they are not over-shortened.
IMPORTANT :
handle becoming detached, the glider can be flown by gently pulling the rear
risers (C-risers) for directional control.
Risers
To make the glider even lighter, we have designed the ULTRALITE with lightweight
Dyneema risers. The risers are independantly detachable in order to change damaged
lines.
The A risers have a red coloured tab to make them easier to identify.
Accelerator System
Ensure the speed system is connected properly.
To use the speed system, ensure your hands are high (so that no brake is applied) and
then extend the speed bar loop smoothly with your feet. Full speed is achieved when
the pulleys on the risers are touching. Once set up test the full range of the accelerator
in calm flying conditions; ensure that both risers are pulled evenly during operation.
Fine-tuning can be completed when you are back on the ground.
IMPORTANT :
make the glider more likely to collapse, therefore using the accelerator near
the ground should be avoided.
We would advise you not to use the accelerator when flying in turbulence.
Snow Tabs
The Ultralite comes supplied with snow tabs to assist with launching on steep snow
slopes. The tabs can be attached using a simple larks foot on the available loops
located on the top surface. The tabs should be removed when not necessary, to avoid
any wear or vibration in flight.
Harness
The chest strap should be set at 44, 46(between the centres of the risers) for sizes 23
and 25 respectively.
Total weight in flight
Each Ultralite has been certified for a defined weight range. We recommend that you
respect these weight ranges.
