10.10 Long Term Storage
If the QuickFlight Free Fall Device is to be placed into storage or left unused for
longer than two weeks, ensure the device and all webbing components are
clean and dry and protected from the environment. Ensure the Upper Web-
bings are fully retracted into the device. Always store in a clean, cool, and dry
environment, preferably in the original packaging. Upon re-installation of the
device, perform the Daily, Weekly, and Bi-Annual Inspections if appropriate.
After exposure to water or damp conditions, thoroughly clean and dry the
QuickFlight prior to storage. Ensure that the QuickFlight is not left with a wet
webbing inside the casing as this may result in corrosion of the device and
deterioration of the webbing. To dry the webbing / device, remove the side
covers and fully extend the wet webbing assembly and allow to completely dry
in a clean environment prior to storing the device. Ensure that debris does not
enter the device when side covers are removed. Re-install the side covers prior
to storing or using the device.

OR ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS IN A WET CONDITION. STORAGE MUST BE
IN A CLEAN, COOL, AND DRY ENVIRONMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
NEVER USE HEAT TO DRY THE WEBBING OR DEVICE. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS
OR ABRASIVES WHEN CLEANING QUICKFLIGHT COMPONENTS, WEBBINGS, AND
ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.
