circumstances use the paraglider as a
parachute. Acrobatics are not
permitted.
Observe the other specific safety
advice in the various sections of this
Manual.
Safety notices
Safety notices are issued when defects
arise during use of a paraglider which
could possibly also affect other gliders
of the same model.
The notices contain instructions on
how to inspect the gliders concerned
for possible faults and the steps
required to rectify any faults.
WARNING
The paraglider owner is responsible
for carrying out the action required
by the safety notice.
SWING publishes on its website any
technical safety notices and
airworthiness instructions which are
issued in respect of SWING products.
Safety notices are released by
the certification agencies and
are also published on the
relevant websites. You should
therefore visit the safety
pages of the certification agencies on a
regular basis and keep up-to-date with
new safety notices which cover any
products relating to paragliding (refer
to Appendix for addresses).
Services such as RSS are also available
which allow internet users to follow
various websites and changes to them
without having to access them
individually. This allows much more
information to be followed than was
previously the case.
Disclaimer and exclusion of
liability, Operating limits
Use of the paraglider is at the pilot’s
own risk!
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for any personal injury or material
damage which arises in connection
with SWING paragliders. The
certification and warranty shall be
rendered invalid if there are changes of
any kind (incl. paraglider design or
changes to the brake lines beyond the
permissible tolerance levels) or
incorrect repairs to the glider, or if any
inspections are missed (annual and 2-
yearly check).
Pilots are responsible for their own
safety and must ensure that the
airworthiness of the glider is checked
prior to every flight. The pilot should
launch only if the paraglider is
airworthy. In addition, when flying
outside of Germany, pilots must
observe the relevant regulations in
each country.
The glider may only be used if the pilot
has a licence which is valid for the area
or is flying under the supervision of an
approved flying instructor. There is no
liability on the part of third parties, in
particular the manufacturer and the
dealer.
