sufficient to move the cables slightly.
8.2. Check harness
Inspect your harness regularly for damage and have it thoroughly visually inspected by a professional every 24
months. The inspection includes a visual assessment of the fabric, straps and connections, major stitching and main
carabiners. All parts are inspected for tears, kinks, pre-damaged seams, damage and severe wear. Detected damage
requires the harness to be professionally repaired before the next flight.
You can find more information about the check in the "Service" chapter of this manual or at www.advance.swiss.
8.3. Carabiner service life
Check regularly
Check the Maillon Rapide regularly visually. If they show visible flaws (dents, rust, deformation), have been
incorrectly loaded or cannot be screwed shut by hand, they must be replaced immediately.
Warning
Make sure that the Maillon Rapide and the carabiners are always correctly closed and
secured and that they are only loaded in their lengthwise direction.
Warning
Please read the manufacturer's manual regarding the service life cycle of carabiners used
to link spreaders to the paraglider and spreaders to the passenger harness.
