the repair cloth that is delivered with any glider. The sticky cloth must overlap at least 2 cm to
each side of the damage.
Maintenance
All care and maintenance must be carried out in accordance with UP recommendations. To
ensure that this happens we strongly advise you to only let UP recognised service centres touch
your wing
– this is also a prerequisite for the UP warranty to be valid. So there’s a lot speaking for
letting UP, or a UP affiliate, look after your Ascent
4
!
Airworthiness Check
In Germany and Austria all paragliders must be checked according to the following time schedule:
2 years after the first flight
Every 2 years after that, or sooner if prescribed by the UP checking facility during the last
check
After 200 hours of flying
These limits have been set by the legal regulations and make no less sense for wings flown
outside of Germany/Austria. Contact your local dealer for information about the nearest UP
approved checking facility. We will happily service the glider more often, if you feel that it is
necessary.
CAREFUL!
If you notice new or unusual behaviour from your wing please hand it in for
immediate inspection at a UP Service centre.
UP Craftsmanship
In order to ensure that your UP Ascent4 maintains its very high inherent performance and safety
we highly recommend that you employ UP, or a UP affiliate, with any repairs or maintenance. Our
service staff is trained and skilled, and knows the UP wings better than anyone.
Spare parts
Your UP glider consists of many high-quality components. Only original parts may be used for
replacing (lines, risers, cloths, etc.). In addition to maintaining the airworthiness of your paraglider,
this is also of great importance for your safety.
UP Warranty
Conditions and extent of the UP International Warranty can be found in the following pages. For
further information please ask UP International directly, or you local representative. The UP
importer in your country is always delighted to clear any questions with you.
National warranty conditions
In some countries the local laws stipulate different warranty rules than those outlined here. Please
note that these local rules only apply in the country where you have purchased your wing.
Information about local rules and conditions are available from your local dealer.
