X-ALPS3
The skywalk X-ALPS3 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 135 degrees)
During production, the X-ALPS3 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 X-ALPS3 is an ideal combination of durability,
low stretch and low drag.
The skywalk X-ALPS3 has 3 A-, 3 B-, 3 C-, and 1 stabilo line.
The main-stabilo is connected with the B2-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 differ-
ent colors:
> the Stabilo lines have a pink loop cover
> 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 X-ALPS3 has 5 risers per side.
These are depicted in a schematic diagram at the end of this manual.
