Checks and repairs
Repairs
and
periodic
checks
should ONLY be carried out by
UP, or by UP approved
checking centres. Failure to
comply with this will forfeit the
certification. Consult:
www.up-
paragliders.com
under Service to
find a check centre near you.
At UP we invest our entire knowhow in
paragliding into making the sport safer for
you. We offer a variety of services all
centred around safety to our customers.
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 Kibo!
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 150 hours of flying
After 100 flights
These limits have been set by the
German Free Flight Federation (DHV)
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 Kibo
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.
UP Warranty
Conditions and extent of the UP
International Warranty can be found in
