Warning
It´s not allowed to use this rescue-parachute for skydiving!
According to EN 12491: Not suitable for use at speeds exceeding 32 m/s (115 km/h).
Use of this parachute with any alternative inner container: the speed of opening and opening shock test
has been completed using the inner container supplied.
Use of any other inner container may produce different results (including failure)
The rescue systems of the NG / NG light series comply with the German type approval LTF 2-565-20 and EN12491:2015.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any personal injury or material damage, which may result from this rescue
system in any way.

2. Purpose of use
Manually activated rescue system for single-seat paraglider pilots in emergency situations, as well as the HG version for
hangglider pilots.
3. Operating limits
Maximum operating speed: 115 km/h (32 m/s)
Packing interval: 12 months, after which repacking is required. This must be noted in the Repack and inspection Log
book.The packing interval may be shortened by the effects of moisture, sand, salt or other environmental influences.
Re-inspection interval: 24 months, after which a complete inspection of the rescue system is required. This includes a
thorough and complete visual inspection of all components. The re-inspection must be noted in the epack and inspection
Log book.
Maximum operating time: 10 years, thereafter up to 12 years with annual re-inspection by the manufacturer.
4. Necessary documentation:
a) Owner´s manual
b) Repack and inspection log book (with recorded repack and inspection jobs)
5. Mode of operation:
In case of emergency, the deployment handle is pulled open with a firm jerk. This opens the outer container and releases the
rescue system. Then the parachute package (still packed in the deployment bag) is thrown into the free airspace with a
sweeping movement. The deployment handle is thereby thrown away together with the rescue system!!!!
The deployment bag together with the bridle is designed in such a way that the lines and parachute canopy are released
only after the throw has been completed.
This prevents an unwanted, early opening. This minimises the risk of snagging on the paraglider / pilot or the reason
responsible for the air emergency (e.g. collision with another pilot, etc).
The maximum speed of the deployment bag, which is necessary for a quick opening, is only reached after the pilot's hand
has left the deployment bag..
In general: The faster the rescue parachute package is thrown away, the quicker the parachute will open.
After the throw, the deployment bag opens and releases the lines and canopy.
The powerful throw and/or the airflow stretches the lines, the canopy and the rescue system opens.
When the rescue system is fully open, the remaining height above ground must be checked first.
If there is still enough height, the paraglider should, if possible, be rendered flightless according to the doctrines in order to
avoid a V-position of rescue system and paraglider.
If there is not enough height left, you should only keep an eye on the ground and prepare for a landing fall.
6. Control and Inspection of the parachute
Before repacking the rescue system it must be checked by the packer and must be sufficiently ventilated. If the parachute
has been opened by a rescue deployment, it must be subjected to a full inspection either by the manufacturer or by a
company authorised by the manufacturer.
After repacking, as well as before each flight, it must be ensured that the release force of the locking system of the outer
container is between 2 daN and 7 daN.
If the rescue system is combined with an outer container or a harness with an integrated rescue system container for the first
time, the functionality must be checked by a competent person and confirmed in the repack and inspection log book.
The inspection includes a complete visual check of all components (cloth, seams, lines, straps) for damage and wear.
Suitable aids (light table, packing tools) must be available for a re-inspection, and the work carried out must be documented
in a suitable manner.
