# II.       Place the instrument

1. Syride suggests to place your instrument on the risers. 2 velcros ables you to place it on any existing riser. Take care not to « lock » your rope or pulley accelerator. This position ables you to manipulate the instrument while flying without releasing the brakes.

2. Velcros also allow placing the instrument on a cockpit, on thigh (with extension) or on the wrist.

Note regarding the velcros:

\- The Nav XL is provided by default with "Xlight" velcros. Lighter and thinner, they allow to save 10% on the total weight of the instrument. Nevertheless, they wear out faster than traditional velcros. It is recommended to change them regularly as soon as the grip becomes weaker. You can find them on our online store: <https://www.syride.com/dn/boutique>

\- Replacing velcros does not affect the warranty of the instrument as long as the case is not opened. Change them one by one in order not to open the case by accident.

\- If you use the instrument on the risers only, you can reverse the velcro so that the soft side faces the riser. Simply unscrew the screws, reverse the direction of the velcro and screw again. Be careful not to over tighten the screws to avoid screwing up the thread!

Just remind that if you reverse the direction of the velcro, it will not be possible to put it on a cockpit.
