Using the paraglider for the first time
Delivery
Before delivery every ADVANCE paraglider has to be flown by the deal-
er and checked for correct settings and trim . When this has been done
the dealer enters the date of the first flight on the label attached to a
centre rib . This entry, together with a completed warranty card, will
ensure that defects in the product attributable to manufacturing faults
are covered by the ADVANCE warranty . See ‘Warranty’ in the section
«Service» .
Within 10 days of purchasing your glider we ask you to fill in the regis-
tration form on the internet, to be found under “Warranty” .
Delivery of a BIBETA 6 includes an inner bag, a compression strap, a
repair kit, a mini-windsock in the glider colours and a «Getting Started
booklet» . Available as options are a “Comfortpack 2” rucksack of 130
or 145 litre volume as well as rigid, soft or soft adjustable spreaders .
Lines
The BIBETA 6 is mainly fitted with colour coded, exceptionally
length-stable “Magix Pro” Aramid lines from German quality manufac-
turer Edelrid . The big ear and stabilo lines are also Aramid, but are co-
vered on their lower sections . Brake base lines are of covered Edelrid
Dyneema . The broad gauge uncovered lines need no special hand-
ling in normal use thanks to their extensive preparation process e .g .
Thermo Shield and UV-Protec-Coating . Normal line care (e .g . storing
dry, avoiding mechanical abuse or unnecessary treading) is naturally
also appropriate for this product . More information about the lines on
the BIBETA 6 product is available on page 28 of this manual . Please
read this carefully .
Basic set-up
The basic set-up of the BIBETA 6 at delivery is that which has been
found to be ideal by the ADVANCE test team; it is in this condition that
the glider was awarded its certification . Any unapproved changes or
modifications, such as changes to the line lengths or the attachment
of other risers or quicklinks by the owner, will result in the paraglider
losing its certification (see the «Certification» section) .
