calculated depending on the workload and aims to achieve the required 
best performance with the least drag. 

The lines are semi-automatically cut to length and all the sewing is 
completed under the supervision of our specialists.

Every line is checked and measured once the final assembly is 
concluded.

Each glider is packed following specific maintenance instructions as 
recommended by the fabric manufacturer.

Niviuk gliders are made of premium materials that meet the requirements 
of performance, durability and certification that the current market 
demands.

Information about the various materials used to manufacture the wing 
can be viewed in the final pages of this manual.

1.5  ELEMENTS AND COMPONENTS

The KLIMBER P is delivered with a series of accessories that will greatly 
assist in the maintenance of the paraglider:
   
- A Kargo bag. This bag is large enough to hold all equipment 
comfortably and with plenty of space.
- An inner bag to protect the wing during storage and transport.
- An adjustable compression strap to compress the inner bag and reduce 
its volume.  
- A repair kit with self-adhesive Ripstop tape in the same colour as the 
wing and spare parts to protect the maillons.

2 . UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

2.1 CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION

We recommend unpacking and assembling the wing on a training hill or 
a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. It will help 
you to carry out all the recommended steps required to check and inflate 
the KLIMBER P.

We recommend the whole installation procedure is supervised by a 
qualified professional instructor or official dealer. Only they can address 
any doubts in a safe and professional way.

2.2 PROCEDURE

Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open and unfold it on the ground 
with the lines positioned on the undersurface, oriented in the direction of 
inflation. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines for defects. Pay 
attention to the maillons connecting the lines to the risers to make sure 
they are fully closed and tightened. Identify, and if necessary untangle, 
the A, B, C and the brake lines and corresponding risers. Make sure that 
there are no knots.

2.3  CONNECTING THE HARNESS

Correctly connect the risers to the risers, ensuring that the lines are 
correctly ordered and free of twists. Check that the carabiners are 
properly fastened and securely locked.

2.4 HARNESS TYPE

The KLIMBER P can be flown with all current harness types, including 
pod harnesses.  We recommend the setting the chest strap to the 
distance specified in the certification report - this will vary depending on 
size.
