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 Kibo 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
Kibo, but it does not replace attending a
paragliding school. It is important to note
the following points:
at the time of delivery the UP Kibo
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.
