For up-to-date information on additional accessories, visit www.macpara.com or contact your local MAC PARA dealer or the distributor in your country.

In particular great care and attention must be paid to the fitting of the rescue parachute in the harness. -
Page 8: Assembly & Installing The Reserve
Assembly & Installing the reserve Assembly X-Dreamer is delivered with the back protection and speedbar already installed from the factory. But when it is necessary to assemble the harness by yourself, MAC PARA recommend that assembly be carried out in the order below. If there is any doubt whatsoever about this procedure, please seek professional advice from your instructor, dealer or MAC PARA importer. - Page 9 Attachment of the rescue bridle to the harness webbing by rapid link A Maillon Rapide type connector (rapid link) or dynema soft shackle are recommended. The connector should be rated at least 15 times the maximum weight, for example, a 7mm Stainless Steel rapid link – 3125 Kg - provides a suitable connection. The rapid link should be held in place with rubber bands, tape or plastic heat shrink tube.

Page 10: Placing The Inner Container With The Rescue In The Rescue Compartment
Tight both straps and secure them with rubber band or velcro. The rescue container of the X-Dreamer comes with its own deployment handle. This handle is firmly and permanently connected to the deployment bag of the parachute. -
Page 11: Compatibility Check
Compatibility check Every first installation of a rescue system into the harness (that means every new combination of harness and rescue system) must be checked by a qualified paragliding professional. This is called a "compatibility check". In this compatibility check the pilot himself, who will be flying with this harness, must always sit in the harness hanging on a simulator and deploy the rescue from the harness container. -
Page 12: Steerable Reserve
Steerable reserve The X-Dreamer can be used with a steerable reserve. With the zipper open the channel of the rescue system bridle. Connect reserve bridles to the loops under the cover on the harness shoulders, using two maillons, each of 2400 daN minimum safe working load. -
Page 13: Lateral Straps
Lateral straps The lateral straps adjust the angle between the thighs and the back. This angle can be set between 110° and 130°. Lengthening the straps increases the angle and vice-versa. The easiest way to adjust them correctly is during a flight in calm air. -
Page 14: Leg Straps
We advise pilots of MAC PARA paragliders to fly with a distance between the carabiners of approximately 39 to 54,5 cm depending on the size of the X-Dreamer. The chest strap may also be adjusted in flight according to the conditions; for example, it may be tightened in turbulent air and flown at a looser setting in more stable or weak conditions. -
Page 15: Speed Bar
When releasing the speed bar it automatically turns back under the front of the sitting plate. It is pulled back by rubber lines. Flying with the X-Dreamer Pre-flight checks For maximum safety, use a complete and consistent system of pre-flight checks and repeat the same mental sequence every flight. -
Page 16: Take Off With X-Dreamer
Take off with X-Dreamer The ergonomic geometry of the X-Dreamer greatly simplifies takeoffs and landings. Leg`s strap system and sliding shoulder straps enable to stand and run completely upright by takeoff and landing. The pilot must only raise the thighs to a 90 degree angle to the body. Thanks use of different materials on the seat board it is easy to slide into the seat after takeoff. -
Page 17: Storage/Pockets
If you are in any doubt you should always consult the winch driver or someone authorised by the manufacturer. Tandem flying Because of its size the X-Dreamer is not suitable for tandem flying - either for pilot or passenger. Flying over water In general, a high caution is advised when flying over water. -
Page 18: Care, Maintenance And Repairs
Inspection checklist In addition to regular pre-flight checks, the X-Dreamer should be inspected thoroughly on every rescue repack, normally every 150 days. Additional inspections should be performed after any crash, bad landing or take off, or if there are any signs of damage or undue wear. -
