8. READ BEFORE ASSEMBLY OR USE
Since parachutes are manufactured and inspected by people there is always a possibility that
this parachute contains defects as a result of human error. Therefore, each individual component
of the complete parachute system must be thoroughly inspected before their first use and before
each use thereafter.
For a number of reasons, parachutes suffer degradation through time and the damage may or
may not be obvious. Therefore parachute and aviation associations around the world have laws
regarding repack and inspection cycles for parachutes. Make sure that you are aware of the laws
pertaining to you.
Inspections must be performed by a qualified and properly certificated rigger who has previous
experience with this type of parachute.
This parachute should be immediately inspected if at any time it was exposed to any
environmental factor that could cause damage.
Be aware that some chemicals will continue to degrade the materials this parachute is made of
long after initial exposure.
If the ICARUS NANO Reserve canopy has been exposed to or stored in extreme humidity or
became wet during a water jump or so called “water swoop” landing, the ICARUS NANO Reserve
canopy must be unpacked, aired and dried, inspected and repacked before the next use!
Regular and thorough inspections are necessary to maintain the structural integrity, reliability,
and, last but not least, the flight characteristics of this reserve parachute.
Ensure that you know the entire life history of every single part of your parachute system.
