Repairs, Inspections and Warranty
Section 09
33
Inspection
General
SWING’s service programme as set out in the
Maintenance and Service book should be
followed so that the same high level of flight
safety, operational safety and reliability is
ensured for your glider in the future as well.
PLEASE NOTE
Read the Maintenance and Service book and
follow the terms therein to ensure the
validity of SWING’s warranty, the glider’s
certification and insurance cover.
Failure to observe the inspection periods shall
render invalid the certification and warranty. A
properly completed logbook with details of all
flying and training will help you to comply with
these periods.
There is additional information on inspections in
two separate booklets, both of which form part
of this Manual:
1. Inspection information and
2. Maintenance and Service book.
These can be downloaded from our website at:
http://www.swing.de/Helios-rs-en.html
PLEASE NOTE
The
owner
is
responsible
for
the
airworthiness of the paraglider. This
includes complying with the inspection
periods.
Inspection periods
SWING gliders must be inspected as follows
(check the situation in your country):
All Gliders must be inspected every two
years from the purchase date.
The glider must be inspected after 150
hours of use (including ground handling) if
this occurs first.
Ground handling time must be at least doubled
when calculating the total hours of use because
of the increased wear and tear on the glider.
Validity of inspection
It is very important that your glider is serviced
at the required intervals throughout its entire
life.
Please be aware here of the specific
requirements set out in the maintenance
instructions.
In order to benefit from SWING’s warranty:
you must have your paraglider inspected by
SWING or an inspection agent authorised
by SWING
the documentation and the result of the
inspection must be clearly identifiable (date
and place / name of the inspector) and be
entered
near
the
glider
information/certification sticker.
The
liability
and
warranty
of
SWING
Flugsportgeräte GmbH will lapse if the
inspection is carried out by the pilot or a not
authorised person.
The DHV recommends that inspection is
carried out by the manufacturer/importer or by
an authorised inspection agent.
Warranty
SWING’s warranty is a comprehensive service
package, which fulfils high standards for
customer service and customer care. The
terms of the warranty are written on the
website.
