8 MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The selected materials used in the EXIT make it necessary to treat them carefuly and in a
professional manner. Make an effort to take care of your equipment and keep it clean to
preserve its airworthiness over the longest possible time.
> Avoid dragging your equipment over stony ground and always try to land in an upright
positon.
> Don’t leave your equipment lying in the sun unnecessarily long. UV radiation is very
damaging to the material.
> Store your paragliding equipment loosely packed in a cool and dry place. If it gets wet,
always dry out your equipment before packing it.
> To clean it, just use a brush or a damp cloth. Use mild soap to clean it only when abso-
lutely necessary. If you do, first remove other parts like the reserve parachute.
The coating of the material can be damaged by brushing or rubbing.

Maintenance checklist
In addition to the normal pre-flight check procedure, you should always take a close look
at the EXIT whenever you pack and reinstall the reserve chute system - normally every
6 months, but at least every 12 months. Of course, the harness and the front container
should also be checked after special events, such as a hard landing or a tree landing, or
if excessive wear is evident. In case of doubt always consult a specialist.
Proceed as follows:
> Check all straps and lines for wear and tear.
> All seams must be checked and, if in doubt, repaired so that the problem does not
spread.
> Special attention should be paid to the installation of the reserve chute. Here you
should also check the cotter pins.

Storage
Ideal is a dry, dark place with a constant temperature. Moisture is an old enemy of the
durability of all paragliders. For this reason, always dry your equipment before you store it,
preferably in a heated and well ventilated room, so that moisture can evaporate.
9 REPAIRS
Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer or by an authorized skywalk
service center. Exceptions include the repair of small cuts (up to about 3 cm that don’t
affect a seam).
Changes to the front container
Your skywalk EXIT is manufactured within the regulated parameters of tolerance.
These parameters are very narrow and must not be altered under any circumstance.
10 DISPOSAL
When choosing materials, skywalk places high value on environmental compatibility
and the highest quality control. Should your harness someday no longer be flyable,
remove all metal parts such as carabiner, etc. All remaining parts can be turned in
at a recycling center.
The metallic parts can be turned in at a metals recycling center.
The best solution is to send your retired skywalk equipment directly to us. We will then
take care of recycling it.
