USER MANUAL
GRAVITY Xfusion
EN REV.V01 - 2020
Before the rescue is repacked it must undergo a visual inspection by the packer. The reserve parachute must be aired
out at a humidity of 60 - 65% for 24 hours or longer. Ideally the packing will be done on a suitable packing table, or
on a clean, antistatic, smooth, even and dry surface. We remind you that you fly at your own risk at all times. This also
applies to the use of this life-saving device.
PLEASE NOTE_
The mounting of the rescue is to be made exclusively by an authorized GRAVITY
distribution partner or the manufacturer himself.
8.2
Laying out & untangling
The packing should be made on a packing table if possible and accessible, but the minimum requirement is a clean,
dry and anti-static surface. The parachute has to be stretched to its entire length. Afterwards a line is pulled through
the color coded packing loops and mounted at the top of the packing table. It is important to take care that no loops
are forgotten. At the bottom end of the table the main suspension is fixed and the parachute is tightened.
The lines will be checked on straight and parallel course. Therefore, the lines are checked from the base to the main
suspension e.g. #1 and #20 are run through the fingers. Any tangles are removed. The canopy has four corners, when
packing, the first one in line needs to face downward, one left, one right and the last is lying on top.
8.3
Damages & repairs
In case you or your packer notices damages during the check which affect or influence the airworthiness of the rescue
system it should be sent to the manufacturer or an authorized competence center from GRAVITY airsports & more
GmbH and repaired professionally. Even smaller damages, which could eventually influence the airworthiness of the
system, should be sent in for proper checking.
PLEASE NOTE_
Repairs only occur at the manufacturer or at an authorized GRAVITY competence center.

STORAGE
A rescue device exists to save the life of the owner/ pilot. It needs careful maintenance and care. UV radiation,
moisture and chemicals are amongst the worst factors, decreasing the lifespan and performance of your Xfusion
rescue device. Avoid unnecessary loads and avoid exposing your Xfusion to heat and sun light at all times. The rescue
equipment should be folded up, according to the manufacturer’s manual and kept and stored in a dry, clean and dark
place when not used. Oils, paint, chemicals and other harmful substances should not be stored in proximity of the
rescue system.
