not be laid on top of the equipment.
8.3 CHECKS AND CONTROLS
You should ensure that your PEAK is periodically serviced and checked at
your local repair centre every 100 hours of use or every 6 months (whichever
happens fi rst). This will guarantee that your PEAK will continue to function
properly and therefore continue fulfi lling the homologation certifi cate results.
As previously mentioned, you should systematically check your lines visually
before each take-off. We strongly advise a complete line check every 6
months.
8.4 REPAIRS
If the wing is damaged, you can temporarily repair it by using the rip stop
found in the repair kit, so long as no stitches are involved in the tear. Any
other type of tear must be repaired in a specialized repair shop or by qualifi ed
personnel. Do not accept a home repair.
