Commitment to safety To increase its safety, the Arrow features a 15 cm foam back protector, with efficient impact absorption in case of a hard landing. Thanks to the applied triangulation, the ARROW is very stable in glide and has extra speed.
Design process The NIVIUK team has done extensive and meticulous work. Distinctive adjustments were made as a result of flight testing of the various prototypes. These were tested in all flight conditions. This intensive development of an innovative and modern harness has been made possible by the extensive experience of our team.
Adjusting the harness Pilot position The ARROW can be adjusted to regulate the angle of the pilot. This angle can be varied by adjusting the appropriate straps. You can also vary the angle of the back and the shoulder straps can also be adjusted.
Using the straps, adjust it to your individual preference. Speed-bar The ARROW comes fitted with a speed-bar. It is important to adjust the harness before adjusting the speed-bar, as the length of the speed-bar depends on the positioning of the legs.
Replacing the pod To ensure the durability of the harness, the ARROW is fitted with a removeable pod. When you need to replace it, use the zip located on the sides, below the carabiners. You will have to set up and adjust the pod again before your first flight with it. To do this, see the section on “Adjusting the harness”.
IN FLIGHT Pre-flight checks For maximum safety, check your equipment thoroughly, using the same sequence, before every flight. Check the following: There is no visible damage to the harness or carabiners that could affect the flight. All buckles, straps and zips are connected/ closed.

The ARROW is not recommended for tandem operation. Other The ARROW is not designed or recommended for aerobatic or acro flying. We consider extreme or acrobatic flights to be any form of piloting different than standard flights. Learning aerobatic/acrobatic manoeuvres should be conducted under the supervision of qualified instructors within a school environment and over water with all safety/rescue elements in place.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance The materials used in the ARROW have been carefully selected to ensure maximum durability. We recommend checking the harness after every impact, bad launch or landing, and if it shows signs of damage or heavy wear.
Checks and inspections In addition to daily and pre-flight checks, the ARROW must be thoroughly inspected at every parachute repack, which is normally once a year. Additional checks should be carried out after every impact, bad launch or landing, or in case of signs of damage or wear.
Repairs Repairs to your ARROW may only be carried out by the manufacturer or qualified and authorised personnel. This ensures that the most appropriate materials and correct repair techniques are applied. If you are not qualified to do so, do not attempt to repair the harness yourself.
The warranty does not cover misuse of the equipment. Any modification of the paraglider or its components invalidates the guarantee and its certification. If you notice any defects in your harness, please contact Niviuk immediately for a more thorough inspection.
