Wash and care of your harness
It is a good idea to wash your harness from time to time. To do this, we recommend to use a soft
solvent (such as soap), use a brush and rinse thoroughly. In any case, do not use chemicals such as
detergents or strong solvent because it may deteriorate the webbing, stitching and fabrics of your
harness.
Lifetime
The threads that compose the webbing and fabrics used in the XA13 have been selected in order
to ensure the best possible lightness/lifetime compromise. Nonetheless, in some conditions, after a
long term exposure to UV and/or significant abrasion or exposure to chemicals, it is compulsory to
check your harness in a certified repair centre. It is about your safety.
The zip fasteners should be lubricated from time to time, using a silicon spray.
If your harness gets wet, it is advisable to treat your automatic buckles and carabiners with sili-
cone grease from time to time.
These carabiners must never be used for anything else else than paragliding (not for climbing, no
towing, etc ...)
The carabiners must be replaced by new ones every 5 years.
