WARNING
Please read this manual carefully and note following details
Paragliding is a sport, which demands, besides the optimum equipment, a high degree of
attentiveness, good judgement, and theoretical knowledge. Paragliding can be a
dangerous sport, which may lead to injury and death. Flying a paraglider is undertaken with
the full knowledge that paragliding involves such risks. This paraglider meets at the time of
delivery requirements of the European Norm EN 926-1 and EN 926-2 or LTF (German
Certificate of Airworthiness). Any alternations to the paraglider will render its certification
invalid! The use of this paraglider is solely at the user’s own risk! Manufacturer and
distributor do not accept any liability.
These operating instructions must be fully read and understood before the first flight. As
the user of this paraglider you take the responsibility for all risks associated with its use.
Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equipment will increase these risks.
Be ready to practice as much as you can. The ground handling with your paraglider is the
most important part of training. Make sure you always complete a pre-flight inspection of all
of your equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged equipment. Always
wear a helmet, gloves and boots. Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy
before flying. Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather
conditions before you launch. If you are unsure do not fly, and always add a large safety
margin to all your decisions.
Keep this manual for reference, and please pass it on to the new owner if you ever re-sell
your paraglider.
If, after carefully reading this handbook, you still have questions, suggestions or criticism
regarding this product do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us. We will be glad to help
