18. Operation and repairs
Periodic control of the harness condition will keep it in safe operation for a long time. After each hard landing check the back
protector too, as the seams or zip quite often get ripped when absorbing impact and damaged protector will be ineffective. If you
notice damage to its cover, send it back to the producer for a repair or buy a new one.
Correspondingly, after each use of rescue chute thoroughly check entire harness for damages, paying particular attention to the
straps and seams.
Aluminium carabiners should be replaced each 5 years or 300 hours airtime. Scratched or damaged carabiners are not serviceable
anymore and have to be replaced at once.
Using damaged harness is out of the question. In case of any doubts please contact your dealer or manufacturer and/or send it to an
authorized workshop for closer inspection.
