SKY PARAGLIDERS REVERSE 4, User Manual

Page: 27 / 62

1) Flying over water (SIV)
Do not use any kind of air based protection
(Bumpair, Cygnus-type Airbag…) under any
circumstances if there is a risk of landing in water.
If you land in water using a bumpair, it‘s buoyancy
behind the pilot creates a high risk of the pilot‘s
head being pushed under the water. During SIV
or flights over water, we recommend the use
of a lifejacket equipped with a collar which will
keep the pilot’s head above water in the event
of loss of consciousness.
2) Landing
Never land in a seated position, it can result
in serious injury, a back protector is not intended
to replace landing gear.

1) Maintenance advice

The harness should be checked regularly for
signs of wear and damage.

Any damaged parts should be repaired
or replaced by the manufacturer.
 The carabiners should be replaced every
5 years.
 These carabiners should never be used
for anything other than paragliding (not for
climbing, towing etc.).

All repairs should be carried out by
the manufacturer or by qualified persons who
have been authorized by the manufacturer,
and always using the original materials (thread,
webbing, buckles).

The zip fasteners should be lubricated from
time to time, using a silicone spray.
The harness may be cleaned using mild soap
and a soft brush. If your harness gets wet, it is
advisable to treat your automatic buckles and
carabineers with silicone grease. This may also
be done as a matter of course from time to time.
