Safety instructions
Paragliding is an extremely demanding sport requiring the highest levels of attention, judgement,
maturity, and self-discipline. Due to the inherent risks in flying this or any paraglider, no warranty
of any kind can be made against accidents, injury, equipment failure, and/or death. This glider is
not covered by product liability insurance. Do not fly it unless you are personally willing to assume
all risks inherent in the sport of paragliding and all responsibility for any property damage, injury,
or death, which may result from use of this paraglider.
Please read this owner's manual thoroughly before your first flight with the UP Ascent
4
so that you
are fully acquainted with your new glider. This manual gives you information on the entire specific
and general flying characteristics of the UP Ascent
4
, but it does not replace attending a
paragliding school. It is important to note the following points:
at the time of delivery the UP Ascent
4
conforms to LTF NFL II-91/09 and EN 926-2:2014
requirements (see certification information later in this manual),
any changes being made outside the permitted range of adjustment invalidate any and all
claims under the warranty,
using this paraglider is exclusively at the risk of the user; the manufacturer or distributor
assumes no responsibility for accidents occurring while using it,
it is assumed that the pilot is in possession of the necessary qualifications and provisions of
any relevant laws are observed,
when reselling the wing please make sure you also give this manual to the new owner. The
manual is an integrated part of the paraglider and is required for the wing to keep its
certification.
Correct behaviour in relation to the environment
Paragliding is a particularly nature-friendly sport. This makes it all the more important that we as
paraglider pilots behave in a responsible way towards both the environment and the people
sharing it with us. We encourage you to treat nature with respect, to stay on marked hiking trails
when walking to takeoff or hiking out from an XC landing, to avoid unnecessary noise, to never
litter and to observe all local regulations.
Please also make sure to comply with legislation regarding protected areas, privately owned
property or hunting arenas
– this ensures the least possible friction in relation to other users of the
great outdoors, to the benefit of both yourself and the sport as a whole.
