If  you want to use the KIWI for flying,  despite  the recommendation of ICARO 
Paragliders you should not only place your paraglider on a flat surface for the first 
time, but also carry out the first start and handling exercises.  
Ground handling is a good training for the start-up technique. You can get to know 
the reactions of your paraglider in a conscious and stress-free manner. 

 

The  KIWI  may be only used for those purposes described in this manual.  It

  was 

exclusively developed for ground handling must not be flown. 

It is strictly prohibited to utilize the 

KIWI

 for ground handling 

 

under the influence of drugs or alcohol, 

 

with damaged canopy, lines, risers or harness 

 

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

There is no sample testing performed by an accredited body.  
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.  
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. 
The use of this paraglider is entirely at your own risk. Every pilot bears the 
responsibility of his/her own safety.
