6. CLEANING
Oils, grease, paint and other chemicals can seriously damage and weaken the structure of
reserve system.
If your reserve becomes contaminated by any such agent the whole reserve system must be
sent back to the manufacturer for a thorough inspection.
A dirty reserve canopy or container can be cleaned with lukewarm water. Mild, neutral soap
may be used on the container if necessary.
Always rinse the canopy thoroughly in fresh, clean water and allow it to dry naturally.
7. REPACKING
We recommend that you open, air and repack the reserve at three monthly intervals as
recommended in the warranty.
Before each repack, a thorough inspection must be made of the following:
the canopy fabric must be checked for any damage or pollution from chemicals or dirt
the suspension lines must be checked for any damage
each attachment point between the suspension lines and canopy must be checked.
the inner and outer container, deployment handle, webbing connection with harness
(bridle) and reserve pin system must be checked for damage
If any damage is evident during this inspection you should send the whole reserve system to
the manufacturer for repair.
Please be aware that the reliability of any reserve parachute system is significantly affected by
how it is packed. We strongly recommend that you only use only trained qualified re-packers
or the manufacturer for this important task.
You should always have the reserve system inspected by the manufacturer in the event of any
of the following:
After deploying the reserve, even in controlled or training purposes
After any damage or alteration of the system
Within 2 years of the previous manufacturers inspection.
Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty.
The warranty card should be sent with the reserve system at each inspection.
