Paragliding is a wonderful sport;
flying as free as a bird in the
air, enjoying the peace and
tranquility. But the air is an
alien environment that
commands respect and a
responsible attitude from the pilot.
At UP we don’t just put our knowledge
and experience into the development
of paragliders, but also into their
maintenance, service and repairs to
ensure that you can fly safely at all
times.
Repairs or inspections must only be
carried out by UP International or a UP
approved repair/checking facility.

All 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
centers 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 Profile light!

The UP Profile light has the following
limits to its working life:
•
10 years when the inspections
follow a 2-year cycle
•
Thereafter another two years, with
inspections once every year

The UP Profile light must be checked
for airworthiness at the following
intervals:
•
2 years after purchase
•
Every two years after that, or
sooner if prescribed by the UP
checking facility during the last
check
We will happily service the glider more
often, if you feel that it is necessary.

Please note that regular repacking of
the UP Profile light is essential for it to
function 100%!
•
The UP Profile light must be
repacked every 6 months.

In order to ensure that your UP
Profile light 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.

The UP Profile Light consists of a large
number of premium parts with
excellent life expectancy. When
replacing parts (lines, bridles, cloth
etc.) ONLY original parts may be used.
This is not only a prerequisite for
conserving the certification, it is also
important for your safety!
