Niviuk ICEPEAK 3 22, User Manual

5

The numbering and marking of the guideline marks is also done in the same 
meticulous way so avoiding errors during this critical process
The lines are semi-automatically manufactured and all the sewing is carried 
out under the supervision of our highly trained specialists. our zero tolerance, 
automated process, ensures that each individual part of every canopy are cut 
and assembled under the strictest of conditions possible.
all niViUK Gliders go through an extremely thorough and efficient final 
inspection. once the final assembly has finished every individual line on each 
glider is again carefully measured. 
on the completion, each assembled part of every wing is once again 
thoroughly inspected to ensure your glider has been made to the highest 
standards. it is then carefully packed as recommended in the manual under 
maintenance and conservation. niViUK Gliders are made using only the 
highest quality materials as demanded by the performance, durability, and 
the requirements for testing and certification. 
information about construction materials is given on the last pages of this 
manual.

1.5  eleMeNTs, COMPONeNTs

The iCePeaK 3 is delivered to you together with a series of components that, 
although not fundamental, do take an important part in the use, transport 
and storage of the paraglider. The glider is delivered together with a rucksack, 
large enough for all of the equipment to fit inside, once appropriately packed. 
The rucksack is designed to make transport on foot as pleasant as possible. 
an internal bag, intended to protect the iCePeaK 3 from possible damage, 
during storage is also supplied.

The glider strap allows you to fold the wing as small as possible. Furthermore 
you will find the accelerator bar, which completes the acceleration gear of 
the wing, a small fabric repair kit made of self-adhesive ripstop and a user’s 
manual with the answers all our questions about our new iCePeaK 3. 

2.  UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

2.1  CHOOse THe rIGHT PlACe

We recommend that you unpack and assemble your wing on a schooling 
slope or a flat clear area without too much wind and free of all obstacles. 
These conditions will allow you to carry out all the steps required for you to 
check and inflate the iCePeaK 3.
We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervise the entire procedure, 
as only they are qualified to resolve any questions or concerns in a safe and 
professional way.

2.2 PrOCedUre

Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open it and spread it open with the 
lines on top of the underside and position the wing as if you were about to 
inflate it. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines, making sure there 
are no abnormalities. Check the maillons that attach the lines to the risers are 
properly closed and locked. identify in order the a, b and C and brake lines 
and ensure they fit to the corresponding risers. Make sure that there are no 
ties or knots.
 

2.3 AsseMBlY OF HArNess

Correctly place the risers on the harness karabiners. The risers and lines 
should not have any twists and they should be in the right order. Check that 
the harness buckles are correctly locked.

2.4 TYPe OF HArNess

The iCePeaK 3 can be flown with many types of harness, with cocoon or not. 
During development and testing we have calculated that a distance of 42 to 
50cm between the harnesses karabiners (it depends of the design and size 
of your harness), should offer the best compromise for safety, handling and 
feedback.
