19 General Advice
A qualified person or agent of the company should check your equipment every year.
The equipment is carefully manufactured and checked by the factory. Never make changes to the
harness, canopy or the lines. Changes can introduce dangerous flying characteristics and will not
improve flying performance.
Do not put your equipment in direct sunlight when not necessary. In order to protect your
equipment during transportation or waiting time we recommend one of our lightweight storage
bags.
Paragliding and Paramotor flying should always be done in a way that has minimum impact on
wildlife and the environment. Respect access regulations and the wishes and rights of landowners.
Do not litter or start fires, do not smoke near your or other peoples wing and equipment. Do not
launch, fly or land in a manner that harasses, disturbs or endangers people, wildlife or property.
To summarise - don’t be a jerk!
If you have any doubts about flying conditions - do not begin.
If you have any questions regarding Apco Products, please contact your dealer or Apco.
Lastly, be equipped with a certified emergency parachute and helmet on every flight.
APCO wishes you many hours of enjoyable flying.
Take Air!
