Manual
This document contains complete product information
and instructions to familiarize you with the main
characteristics of your new glider. It contains instructions
on how to use and maintain the wing, however, its
purpose is not to serve as learning material to pilot this
kind of wing. As such, this is not a flying manual. Flying
instructions can only be taught by flying schools and
specially certified instructors.
It is important that you take time to read this manual
carefully before the first flight, as thorough knowledge of
your equipment enables you to fly safely and to maximize
your full potential. If you borrow or give your glider to
another pilot, please pass this manual on with it.
If any use of Triple Seven equipment remains unclear
after having read this manual, please contact: your local
paragliding instructor, your Triple Seven importer or Triple
Seven. This product manual is subject to changes without
prior notice. Please check www.777gliders.com for the
