4. INTENDED USE AND SAFETY REGULATIONS
This reserve parachute system was specifically developed as a hand-deployed reserve parachute
for paragliding, paramotoring and hangglider flying. Its use is not permitted in conjunction with
other aerial activities such as parachuting, skydiving and base jumping! The SQR reserve system is
certified according to EN 12491 and LTF NFL II 91/09 standards!
Do not deploy a SQR reserve at airspeeds exceeding 115 km/h (32 m/s)
4.1 Packing and inspection requirements
Every
12 Months
the reserve must be opened, aired and repacked. This packing event should be
noted (online) in the reserve packing and inspection record.
Every
24 Months
the SQR reserve must have a periodic inspection and this event entered (online)
in the packing and inspection record.
4.2 Additional packing and inspection conditions
Whenever the reserve has been exposed to sand, dampness, water or other external threats, a
repack must be considered, or the packing interval shortened.
If the reserve has been strongly compressed when packed in order to achieve mini-
mum volume, we recommend a reduced repack interval of 6 months!
If you are uncertain about the effects of these factors please contact a qualified organisation. To
review your repacks, packing intervals, inspection and repair history you can refer to the online
record that was automatically set up at product registration (

).
