Introduction
Manual
SWING requires you to familiarise yourself with
your new paraglider by reading this Manual
before your first flight. This will allow you to
acquaint yourself with its new functions and
learn the best way to fly the paraglider in
various situations. It will also explain how to get
the most out of your paraglider.
Information in this manual on design of the
paraglider, technical data and illustrations are
subjects to change. We reserve the right to
make changes without prior notification.
Special text giving safety information is identified
in this Manual in accordance with the ANSI
Z535.6 standard.
The Manual complies with the airworthiness
requirements in LTF NFL II 91/09 and forms
part of the certification.
There are a total of three parts to the Manual,
which give the following information:
1.
Manual (this document):
Instructions on getting started and using
the paraglider
2.
Service Book (PDF/Download):
Technical data and inspection information
specific to the particular glider
3.
Inspection Information (PDF/Download):

carrying out the regular inspection of

WARNING
It is imperative that the instructions
contained in this Manual are followed at all
times.
Failure to do so renders invalid the glider’s
certification and/or results in loss of
insurance cover. Furthermore, it could lead
to serious injuries or even death.
This applies in particular, but not exclusively,
to the instructions in the sections on Safety,
Flying your paraglider, Types of Use, and
Dangerous Situations and Extreme Flying.
