Congratulations on buying your
NIKITA 5
and welcome to the family of ICARO - pilots!
Before you get to know your glider please read the
manual, there are any important items.
•
Your NIKITA 5 is not pattern tested valid using any harness which has been
categorized by “GH” and may be only used for those purposes described in this
manual.
•
The NIKITA 5 cap was only undergoing a load test.
•
It is strictly prohibited to use the NIKITA 5
•
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 and
•
in the rain, in snow, in the clouds and fog and in turbulent weather
conditions.
•
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). 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.
•
The use of this paraglider is entirely at your own risk. Every pilot bears the
responsibility of his/her own safety.
•
In order to get to know your glider, we recommend that you practice with your
glider on the ground. Pulling up in flat gradients is great practice for fine tuning
your launch techniques. Here you can get to learn the reactions of your glider
without any stress and hectic. Ground practice pays off in the air.
•
All technical data and instructions were drawn up with great care.

manual.
