THANK YOU CONTENTS hank you for choosing to fly Ozone. As a team of free flying enthusiasts, competitors and adventurers, Ozone’s Thank You mission is to build agile paragliders of the highest quality with cutting edge designs, performance and maximum Warning security. Team Ozone Your Enzo 3 Confidence and belief in your paraglider is a far greater asset than any small gains in performance - ask any of the Ozone Preparation Basic Flight Techniques pilots on your local hills, or those who have taken our gliders on ground-breaking adventures or stood on podiums around Incidents the world. All our research and development is concentrated on creating the best handling/performance characteristics Caring and Maintenance possible with optimum security. Our development team is based in the south of France. This area - which includes the Ozone Quality sites of Gourdon, Monaco and Col de Bleyne - guarantees us more than 300 flyable days per year, this is a great asset Descriptive Drawings Line diagram in the development of the Ozone range. Materials Technical Specifications As pilots we fully understand just how big an investment a new paraglider is. We know that quality and value for money Certification Documents are essential considerations when choosing a new wing, so to keep costs low and quality high we manufacture all of our products in our own production facility. During production our wings undergo numerous rigorous quality control checks... -

YOUR ENZO 3 Rucksack The latest edition of the most successful competition wing in the history of paragliding brings a new level Your wing is supplied with a specially designed bag that is light in weight and comfortable. It features a of glide performance to the world’s best pilots. The Enzo 3’s next generation profile has evolved over two years of R&D. It offers improved solidity, spanwise cohesion, comfort, glide performance, and a significantly padded hip belt, adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps and extra pockets to store keys, accessories and all those extra bits. Its large volume allows you to store all of your equipment whilst distributing the weight higher top speed compared to the Enzo 2. for comfortable hiking. The Enzo 3 retains many features of its predecessor, including the cell count, planform, and patented Brake Lines OZONE SharkNose concept but with an updated ultra-low-drag line plan.

To set up the accelerator system, first route the lines supplied with the speed system through the harness. We strongly recommend that you respect these weight ranges. If you want better speed, precise handling, Make sure this is done correctly and that the lines pass through all of the pulleys (check your harness and generally fly in mountains and/or in strong conditions, you should chose to fly in the middle to top manual for instructions). Attach the speed system lines to the accelerator system on the risers with the part of the weight range.

Page 10: Incidents
INCIDENTS IN FLIGHT Deflations Cravats Due to the flexible form of a paraglider, turbulence may cause a portion of the wing to collapse. This can If the tip of your wing gets stuck in the lines, this is called a cravat. Due to the large amount of drag, IMPORTANT be anything from a small 30% (asymmetric) collapse to a complete (symmetric) collapse. cravats can turn your wing into a spiral dive very quickly, this can be disorientating and difficult to control A bad preparation if allowed to develop. To recover from a cravat immediately anticipate the movement of the wing, first on launch, aerobatic If you have a collapse, the first thing to do is to control your direction. You should fly away from the ground stabilise the direction of your wing with outside brake and weight shift. Once you have control of the flying, flying a wing of or obstacles and other pilots.

Ozone would like to remind you that this Only attempt SIV carefully. with this wing if you wing is not designed for learning SIV manoeuvres and should only be attempted under the supervision Ozone recommends to use the concertina packing method exactly as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other and the have previous SIV of an expert instructor, over water and with all the necessary safety precautions in place. If you want to plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent. It is also good practice to use the supplied foam Folding Pillow, this reduces the angle experience with a high learn how to do SIV then do so on a different wing. Only attempt it with this wing if you have previous SIV of the leading edge fold and helps preserve the plastic reinforcements. The folding pillow can be compressed with the strap and carried in aspect ratio wing, experience with a high aspect ratio wing, such as the M6. Ensure that you fully understand the correct and your harness. Also, using the Ozone Saucisse pack will help preserve the life of the wing and aid with the speed and ease of packing. safe use of this equipment before attempting SIV.

By Always let a registered dealer, professional repair centre or the manufacturer carry out any major or twisting the line become shorter and you can end up with a constant tension on the trailing edge (which complex repairs, especially those near seam margins. can lead to problem on launch, stalling, glider not flying symmetrically, ...) If you damage the sail: • Be careful when groundhandling to not saw the brake lines against the risers or main lines.

You’ll find all the materials caused by a sawing motion can damage the main lines and lead to premature ageing of the risers. If you in the repair kit you need. The fabric can be simply mended with the sticky rip stop/spinnaker tape. When notice any signs of abrasion, especially to the lines, make sure you get the wing professionally serviced cutting out the patches allow ample overlap of the tear and make sure both sides are different sizes. Make and importantly modify your groundhandling technique to stop any further damage. sure to round off each corner of the patches. • Your Ozone wing has an opening closed using Velcro on the trailing edge of the tip called the ‘Butt hole’. This has been designed to easily empty all the things which have been accumulating in your wing (sand, You can find more information about repairing your wing on the Ozone website, including step by step leaves, rocks, mobile phones etc). instructions with pictures. • It is recommended that you regularly CHECK your wing, especially after a heavy period of use, after an incident or after a long period of storage.
