IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

ABS LINE CONNECTION WITH THE CHEST STRAP

Overview

The F*Race 2 is delivered with an adjustable ABS system. It’s made from a dyneema line in which the top loop needs to be in the correct position at all times.

The dyneema line is part of the overall red loop inner diameter, and therefore to the stability of the connection with the toggle (the coloured metallic part which goes through the loop) and the chest strap. It prevents the toggle from getting out of the loop inadvertently.

Current situation and upgrade

For all F*Race 2 harnesses delivered until now, the dyneema ABS line is assembled with a lark’s head knot around the red chest strap loop. There may be a possibility, although minimal, that it may slip out of the red loop thereby widening its opening and allowing the toggle to escape when the chest strap is not in tension. We require F*Race 2 pilots to check the position of this loop, and modify its connection as shown below. This new ABS connection is also implemented in all new F*Race 2 harnesses in production.
