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.
The use of this paraglider is entirely at your own risk. Every pilot bears the
responsibility of his/her own safety.
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.
ICARO paragliders cannot be made responsible for any possible errors in this
manual.
Important information in this manual is written in fat cursive writing . Any important
changes to this manual will be published in our homepage
( www.icaro-paragliders.de ).
Any modification to the paraglider (lines, canopy, risers) is dangerous and
can lead to unwanted reactions of the paraglider. When our paragliders leave
production, they are within the allowable tolerance range. This is very narrow
and must not be changed under any circumstances, as the optimal
relationship between performance, handling and safety is no longer
guaranteed, no longer corresponds to the type-tested paraglider and is
therefore no longer type-tested.
You can only fly your glider with a valid flying license and in accordance with local
rules and regulations. The manufacturer or distributor assumes no responsibility for
accidents occurring while using it.
Every pilot must ensure that the glider is properly checked at regular intervals.
Many countries have specific regulations or laws regarding paragliding activity.
It’s
your responsibility to know and observe the regulations of the region where you fly.
Occasionally flown extreme flight or Acro maneuvers do not pose any danger
to the structure and strength of the material. However, frequent extreme loads
accelerate the aging process considerably, so that a check must be carried
out earlier on gliders that are frequently subjected to these maneuvers. The
same applies to gliders that are flown at sea or in salty air for a longer period.
Environmental aspects:
The materials of which a paraglider is made require a special waste disposal.
So please send disused gliders back to us. We will care about a professional waste
disposal without costing for you.
Please do our nature-near sport in a way which does not stress nature and
environment!
Please do not walk beside the marked ways, do not leave your litter, do not make
unnecessary loud noises, and respect the sensitive balance in the mountains.
