Triple Seven D-LIGHT M, User Manual

Introduction

Welcome

Welcome to the Triple Seven Team! We’re excited that you 

have chosen to fly the D-light, and we are certain that 
this glider will be the perfect lightweight choice for you, 
all the way from hill training to cloud base. The D-light is 
developed for maximum safety and ease of use, in a light 
package. As such, this glider is ideal for weight-conscious 
pilots just embarking on their first paragliding adventures. 
It is designed to be your first lightweight glider, to take 
you on breathtaking hike&fly adventures, on your first XC 
flights or any other direction you might take in paragliding. 
We wish you exciting flying adventures!

Triple Seven Mission

Our company goal is to produce high quality products and 
technologically innovative gliders of all types and classes. 
We are striving to develop state-of-the-art paragliders, 
with the optimum compromise between safety and 
performance. Your success is our inspiration; our goal is 

your success. 

Manual

This document contains all the important product 

information and instructions to help you become familiar 
with the main characteristics of your new paraglider. It 
contains instructions on how to use and maintain the 
wing, but its purpose is not to teach you to pilot this kind 
of wing. This is not a flying manual. Flying is taught by 
paragliding schools and certified instructors.

It is important that you take the time to read this manual 

carefully before the first flight, as thorough knowledge of 
your equipment enables you to fly safely and to maximize 
your full potential. If you lend or sell your glider to another 
pilot, please pass this manual on with it.

If any use of Triple Seven equipment remains unclear 
after having read this manual, please contact: your local 
paragliding instructor, your Triple Seven importer or Triple 
Seven. This product manual is subject to changes without 
prior notice. Please check www.777gliders.com for the
