IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
FLYING A PARAGLIDER REQUIRES MAXIMUM CAUTION AT ALL TIMES.
WE REMIND YOU THAT YOU FLY YOUR PARAGLIDER AT YOUR OWN RISK!
AS THE PILOT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE AIRWORTHI-
NESS OF YOUR GLIDER BEFORE EVERY FLIGHT. REMEMBER THAT MENTAL
FITNESS IS ALSO A RISK FACTOR.
The skywalk CAYENNE5 may not be flown:
> outside of the minimum and maximum certified takeoff weights
> with a motor
> in rain, snow, or in extremely turbulent weather conditions, or in strong wind
> in clouds or fog (visual flight)
> with insufficient pilot experience
> if flown with more than one person
> if the canopy is wet
> at temperatures under -30°C or over 50°C
> for acrobatic flight (flight maneuvers at an angle of more than 90 degrees)
During production, the CAYENNE5 underwent carefully selected quality controls and was
inspected once again before shipping. Keep in mind that a paraglider can only be flown
while observing the laws of the country in which it is flown.

LINE SYSTEM
The layout of the suspension points is designed for optimal load distribution and a long
lifespan. With all considerations and calculations however, our focus is always on safety.
The mix of materials used on the lines of the CAYENNE5 is an ideal combination of
durability, low stretch and low drag.
The inner mainlines of the CAYENNE5 are made of high-strength Dyneema with polyester
sheathing. In extreme cases, each of the main lines can withstand more than 160kg of load.
To keep drag to a minimum, unsheathed Technora and Dyneema lines are used in the mid-
dle and at the top.
The skywalk CAYENNE5 has 3 A-, 3 B-, 3 C-, and 1 stabilo line.
The main-stabilo is connected with the B-riser.
The brake lines are not load-bearing and lead from the trailing edge over the main brake
lines through the brake pulleys on the C-risers to the brake handles.
A marking on the main brake line indicates the position of the handle attachment.
This setting should not be lengthened, for example, to provide more brake travel in extreme
flight situations or during landing, nor shortened such that the glider is flown constantly
with some brake on.
To provide a better overview and to make sorting easier,
the lines have different colors:
>the AI, AII mainlines and A-risers are red
> the BI, BII mainlines are yellow
> theCI, CII mainlines are blue
> the main brake-lines are orange
The remaining lines are unsheathed.
The lines are attached with loops to triangular shackles and secured with rubber rings.
The skywalk CAYENNE5 has 5 risers per side. These are depicted in a schematic diagram
at the end of this manual.
