PrefliGHt cHeck and Maintenance
It is important to check all paragliding equipment thoroughly before every flight to see if
it has any defects. Also check the paraglider after long flights and after long storage.
cHeck tHOrOuGHly:
> All seams of the harness, of the risers and of the reserve bridle.
> That all connecting parts, maillons and carabiners are closed.
> The brake-line knots on both sides and follow the brake-line to the top.
> All the other lines from riser to canopy.
> All the line attachment points at the canopy.
> If the top or bottom of the wing are damaged or perished.
> The ribs and crossports from inside.
dO nOt take-Off if yOu detect any defectS, even if tHey are MinOr!
If you find any damage or excessive wear and tear please get in touch with your
flying school.
layinG Out tHe Glider:
If you use your paraglider for the first time we recommend that you practise some infla-
tions and try some simple flights at a training site. This way you are able to get used to
your skywalk MESCAL4.
Lay out the canopy so that the leading edge is slightly arched. The middle of the cano-
py should form the deepest point of the paraglider. This way the A-lines are tensioned
first in the middle whilst inflating. The paraglider inflates evenly which ensures a stable
and straight take off.
The MESCAL4 is very easy to sort due to the 3 line levels, yet sorting should always be
completed carefully.
All lines have to run freely without any knots and twists from the risers to the canopy.
During flight, tied or crossed over lines can often not be released or untangled!
The brake-lines are lying directly on the ground, so please pay attention that they do
not become entangled during launch. There shouldn’t be any lines beneath the canopy
during take-off. Line-overs can have fatal consequences!
