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 PI BI includes an inner bag, a compression strap, a repair
kit, a mini-windsock in the glider colours and a «Getting Started book-
let» . Available as options are a “Comfortpack 2” rucksack of 130 or 145
litre volume as well as rigid, soft or soft adjustable spreaders .
PI BI delivery includes a pair of pre-mounted light spreaders with
Edelrid FORAS carabiners, a COMPRESSBAG Light, a compres-
sion strap, a repair kit and a mini-windsock in the wing colours .
A “COMFORTPACK 3” rucksack, 100 or 115 litres, or the 90 litre
“LIGHTPACK 2”, are available as options . Under “Correct rucksack size”
you can find a compilation of the various PI BI harness and rucksack
choices .
Lines
The PI BI is mainly fitted with colour coded, exceptionally length-stable
“Magix Pro” Aramid lines from German quality manufacturer Edelrid .
The big ear and stabilo lines are also Aramid, but are covered on their
lower sections . Brake base lines are of covered Edelrid Dyneema . The
broad gauge uncovered lines need no special handling 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 mecha-
nical abuse or unnecessary treading) is naturally also appropriate for
this product . More information about the lines on the PI BI product is
available on page 28 of this manual . Please read this carefully .
Basic set-up
The basic set-up of the PI BI 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 modifica-
tions, 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) .
