Care, maintenance, and repair 

Care Instructions 

  Please do not store your rescue system in the vicinity of acids, grease, oils or 

paint.  To  ensure  safe  operation,  the  system  needs  proper  maintenance  and 
care.  

  Do  not  store  your  rescue  system  in  extreme  temperatures  or  humidity  (more 

than 30

0

 C 0r 55-65% humidity).  

  A humid or wet canopy needs repacking.  

  Exposure to UV-rays causes deterioration the fabric.  

  Please  only  use  clean  and  fresh  water  to  clean  your  rescue  system  or 

container.  

  Wet  cloth  stored  in  warm  conditions  will  begin  to  mould  and  significantly  lose 

structural  strength.  Rescue  systems  in  this  condition  must  be  brought  to  the 
manufacturer to be checked out. 

It  may  take  several  days  your  second  chance  to  dry  out  completely 
especially the lines of the rescue system, which take longer than the fabric.  

Do  not  fold  and  store  your  rescue  system  prematurely  if  it  not  completely 
dry. Mildew may damage your harness and your rescue system. 

Repairs 

The seal of approval can only be preserved if original parts are used. If you 
discover  any  damaged  parts  to  the  rescue  system  which  might  impede 
deployment, pleases end it back to the manufacturer to be repaired.  

Repairs  can  only  be  carried  out  by  the  manufacturer  or  from  the 
manufacturer authorized persons. 

Your reserve parachute consists of many high-quality, long-life components. When 
replacing  parts  (lines,  risers,  fabric  panels,  etc.)  only  original  parts  may  be  used. 
This  is  important  to  the  continued  airworthiness  of  your  reserve  chute  and  your 
safety as well. 

Spare parts (material):  

Canopy        

Ortex 22 (Nylon 6.6 HT, 22 dtex) 

Lines         

 

Edelrid PAX 2 9100 160 & A-6798-150  

Riser         

 

Dyneema 5 mm 

Rubber rings  

silicon based 

 

Use limitations, packing- and check intervals 

Packing interval 

12 months; 

the rescue system also must be aired recurrent. 

Why?

  The  paraglider  harness  is  usually  laid  down  before  take-off  and  after 

landing on the grassy ground, which contains moisture in all seasons. This creates 
the  risk  of  the  rescuer's  fabric  becoming  damp.  Furthermore,  the  paragliding 
harness  is  stowed  in  the  hot  trunk  in  summer,  which  means  that  the  individual 
panels can stick together under the influence of moisture and heat. This can lead 
to an enormous time delay in opening the rescue.
