The lifespan of this product is highly dependent on your mindfulness.
The following activities can significantly reduce the lifespan of your CONTOUR
> Speed flying and speed riding
> (Coastal) soaring with permanent touch & go
> Extensive ground handling
MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
In addition to your normal preflight procedure, you should also take a
close look at your CONTOUR after the reserve parachute has been packed
and re-installed – normally every six months but no later than every twelve
months. Naturally, it’s important to also check your harness closely after
unusual circumstances, for example after a hard landing or a tree landing,
or if the harness shows above-average wear and tear.
When in doubt, always consult an expert.
Here is what to check:
> Check all straps and buckles for wear and tear and damage.
> The stitching of all seams should be checked and, if in doubt, should
be repaired to keep problems from propagating.
> Both aluminum carabiners should be renewed after no more than 3 years
or maximum 300 flight hours. Impact to the carabiners can result in
invisible damage that could lead to failure during use.
> Perform a leak test for the PERMAIR protector.
The documentation for service work should be entered with the name of
the repair person, stamp and signature.

10 MAINTENANCE, CARE
The selected materials used in the CONTOUR make it necessary to treat them
carefully and in a professional manner. Make an effort to take care of your
harness and keep it clean to preserve its airworthiness over the longest possi-
ble time.
> Avoid dragging your harness over stony ground and always try to land in an
upright positon.
> Don’t leave your harness lying in the sun unnecessarily long. UV radiation is
ery damaging to the material.
> Store it in the bag when you don´t use it.
> 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 absolutely necessary. If you do, first remove other parts like the
reserve parachute. The coating of the material can be damaged by brushing
or rubbing.
> Let the harness dry in a well-ventilated, shady place if it was wet.
If the reserve parachute gets wet, (e.g. during a water landing), then it is
necessary to open it up, let it dry, and pack it again.
> After a hard landing or an impact higher than 0,5m, check the protector
for damage.
> Zippers should be treated with silicon spray once a year.
MATERIALS
The FLARE CONTOUR is extremely weight-optimized and made exclusive-
ly from high-quality materials. FLARE has selected the best possible combina-
tion of materials in terms of resilience, weight and durability.
We are aware that the durability of the equipment is one of the decisive
factors for the satisfaction of the pilot, but due to the choice of materi-
al and construction of the harness we would like to point out that the har-
ness is more prone to wear and damage if used improperly.
