Repairs and checks:
Tears in the canopy must be professionally sewn. Adhesive patches are only
adequate for very minor damage.
Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer, distributor or authorized
workshops. Only original spare parts may be used!
The lines must be checked after every 50 hours flying time and whenever the flight
behaviour changes
Any changes to the canopy lines or risers, except those approved by the
manufacturer, will void the certificate of airworthiness.
The Icon must be checked as a minimum, after two years or after 100 flying hours
by the manufacturer or authorized workshops.
Disposal:
The synthetic materials used in a paraglider need professional disposal. Please
send disused canopies back to us: we will dismantle and dispose of it.
In Conclusion:
The Icon is a modern paraglider. You will enjoy many safe years of flying with your Icon
if you look after it correctly and adopt a mature and responsible approach to the
demands and dangers flying can pose. It must be clearly understood that all air sports
are potentially dangerous and that your safety is ultimately dependent upon you. We
strongly urge you to fly safely. This includes your choice of flying conditions as well as
safety margins during flying manoeuvres. We recommend once more that you only fly
with a certified harness, reserve parachute, and helmet. Also the certification placard
must be present on the glider. Every pilot should be suitably qualified, have a valid
license and 3rd party insurance. The Icon is delivered with a stuff-sack, Velcro
compression strap, MAC PARA backpack, repair kit and user manual.
