Congratulations on buying your  

CLOU  

and welcome to the family  

of  ICARO - pilots! 

Before you get to know your glider please read the 

manual, there is important information inside. 

Your 

CLOU

 is pattern tested as a normal glider in A

1

 and therefore a “paraglider 

with good passive safety and forgiving flight characteristics. It is relatively resistant 
to  abnormal  flight  conditions.  It  is  appropriable  for  all  pilots  including  pilots  of  all 
training levels.” It also is tested for flying with motor drive. 
The use of this paraglider is entirely at your own risk. It may be only used for those 
purposes described in this manual. 

It is strictly prohibited to fly the CLOU  

 

under the influence of drugs or alcohol, 

 

in insufficient experience or training of pilots,  

 

without guilty license, 

 

beyond the minimum and maximum recommended Take Off- Weight,  

 

with damaged glider, lines, risers or harness 

 

in  the  rain,  in  snow,  in  the  clouds  and  fog  and  in  turbulent  weather 
conditions, 

 

tandem- flying

 

and  

 

Aerobatics. 

If you cannot keep your glider under control use the rescue system in good time. 
Always pay attention to ground distance. 
Our products are made with great care and state of the art. Each glider before it is 
delivered to the dealer or flight school is checked by ICARO paragliders (incoming 
test). This date is entered in the identification plate and as well guarantee as the 
first 2-year-check period starts. The incoming test must also be documented in the 
manual. Test flights are made only on a random basis. 
On  that  score  an  approved  ICARO  dealer  or  teacher  of  the  flight  school  must 
inflate a new ICARO paraglider in the wind or should carry out the first flight before 
the wing is handed over to you. 
This date is entered in the identification plate and as well guarantee as the first 2-
year-check period starts. If this seal is missing, it must be assumed that this glider 
is not identical in construction with the model tested at the specification center.

Used harness in accordance with EN 1651:1999, and EN 12491:2001
