18. Respecting nature and environment

The producer guarantees the correctness of the declared characteristics and the paraglider’s 

normal performance for two years after the purchase date. The producer conducts special, and 

after warranty repairs and maintenance at the owners’ request for an extra price.

We recommend inspecting your paraglider (including checking suspension line strength, line 

geometry, riser geometry, and permeability of the canopy material) one time at two years, or 

every 150 hours of flying time (whichever comes first); that inspection must be made by the 

manufacturer, importer, distributor, dealer or other authorized persons. 

The checking must be proven by a stamp on the certification sticker on the glider as well in the 

manual book. 

There are not necessary spare items except the rubber ring to fix the main lines on the riser 

triangle carabiner. The rubber rings will be offered by us in the repair kit offering with the glider. 

You can exchange it by yourself when it has been disappeared or wears off. After you exchange 

the lubber ring, you must check again the triangle carabiner on the riser has been locked well 

before you fly.

Finally, we would ask each pilot to take care of nature and our environment. Respect nature and 

the environment at all times but most particularly at take-off and landing places. Respect others 

and paraglider in harmony with nature.

Do not leave marked tracks and do not leave rubbish behind. Do not make unnecessary noise 

and respect sensitive biological areas.

The materials used on a paraglider should be recycled. Please send old Davinci gliders back to 

us Davinci Gliders offices. We will undertake to recycle the glider.

16. Caring tips

- Do not expose your glider to the sun any longer than necessary

- Keep it away from water and other liquids

- Do not let the front edge hit the ground

- Keep your glider away from fire

- Do not put anything heavy on your glider, do not pack it in a rucksack too tightly.

- Regularly inspect the canopy, lines, risers and harness. If you find any defects, 

    contact your dealer or the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the paraglider by yourselves.

- If you detect a damaged line, inform the dealer or manufacturer about the line number   

  according to the line plan

- Keep your RHYTHM2 in a bag in a dry well-ventilated place under neutral temperature and 

  humidity conditions

- If you do not use the glider, then once a month you should unpack it, ventilate it well, 

  and then pack it back in the bag
