Speed-bar
For precise acceleration, the ARTUS has a three­step speed­bar that can be operated
without great force thanks to a smooth­running pulley and three low­friction rings.
Correct speed-bar installation
The well thought­out routing of the speed­bar in the harness ensures comfort
during accelerated flight and prevents damage to the fabric caused by friction. On the
following picture you can see the correct routing of the speed­bar inside the harness.
Altogether this must run through four points. One of these is the eyelet
speed­bar leaves the inside of the harness to the outside. The cord then runs through

the first low friction ring , then through the pulley
through another low friction ring
not twisted with other parts of the harness. The speed­bar must run underneath the

strap for the pod tensioning

Adjust the speed­bar length to your glider by changing the position of the Brummel
hooks. Please note: the speed system must not be set too short, otherwise the wing
will accelerate unintentionally.

When attaching the speed­bar on the right­
hand side, make sure that it is not wrap­
ped around the V­bridle. This could lead to
problems in case of a parachute deployment.
The correct and incorrect way can be seen in
the illustration.
Stirrup and flying without the pod
The ARTUS is designed as a reclined harness and cannot be flown with a stirrup. We
also don't recommend flying it without the pod.
Connecting the harness to the wing
Once the harness is properly closed, you can connect it to your glider. Many NOVA
wings have coloured risers (red for left and green for right). This colour­coding is contin­
ued on the harness. This will ensure that you don't hook in wrongly. Open the carabiners
1 where the by turning the light green plastic clip 90 degrees to the right. Attach the respective
riser to the carabiner and close them by turning the fastener back to its original
position. When the catch engages (audible click), the carabiner is fully closed.
Please note: the carabiners must be properly closed, otherwise their load capacity will
be reduced and the riser may slip out. Make sure that the metal shackle of the carabiner
is closed and that the light green plastic shackle is parallel to the carabiner.
