Congratulations on buying your  

TWICE TE

 

and welcome to the family  

of 

 I

CA

RO

 

- pilots! 

Before you get to know your glider please read the 

manual, there is important information inside. 

 

Your 

TWICE TE

 is 

pattern tested in B

1

 and therefore a “paraglider with good 

passive  safety  and  forgiving  flight  characteristics.  Relatively  resistant  to 
abnormal  flight  conditions.  Appropriable  for  all  pilots  including  pilots  of  all 
training levels.” Additionally 

TWICE TE

 size S is homologated for single flying. 

  It is valid using any harness which has been categorized by “GH” and may be 

only used for those purposes described in this manual. 

 

It is strictly prohibited to fly the  

TWICE TE

  

 

under the influence of drugs or alcohol, 

 

without guilty license, 

 

beyond  the  minimum  and  maximum  recommended  Take  Off- 

Weight,  

 

The glider is not checked at regular intervals or checked by not  

  authorized personal 

 

with damaged glider, lines, risers or harness 

 

in  the  rain,  in  snow,  in  the  clouds  and  fog  and  in  turbulent 

weather conditions. 

  Our  products  are  made  with  great  care  and  state  of  the  art.  Each  paraglider 

before  it  is  delivered  to  the  dealer  or  flight  school  is  checked  by  ICARO 
paragliders but test flights are made only on a random basis. 

  On that score an approved ICARO dealer or teacher of the flight school must 

inflate  a  new  ICARO  paraglider  in  the  wind  or  should  carry  out  the  first  flight 
before the wing is handed over to you. This date is entered in the identification 
plate and as well guarantee as the first 2-year-check period starts.  

  The use of this paraglider is entirely at your own risk. Every pilot bears 

the responsibility of his/her own safety.  

  In order to get to know your glider, we recommend that you practice with your 

glider on the ground. Pulling up in flat gradients is great practice for fine tuning 
your launch techniques. Here you can get to learn the reactions of your glider 
without any stress and hectic. Ground practice pays off in the air. 

  All  technical  data  and  instructions  were  drawn  up  with  great  care.  

ICARO  paragliders  cannot  be  made  responsible  for  any  possible  errors 
in this manual.

Used harness in accordance with EN 1651:1999, and EN 12491:2001
