6- MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Check the harness after each impact, bad landing or launch, or if there are
any signs of damage or excessive wear.
We recommend having your harness checked by your dealer every two
years and replacing the main snap-hooks every two years.
To prevent unnecessary wear and deterioration of the harness, it is impor-
tant to avoid scraping it against the ground, rocks or abrasive surfaces. Do
not expose the harness unnecessarily to UV radiation (sunlight) outside
normal flying activities. Wherever possible, protect the harness from hu
-
midity and heat.
Store all your paragliding equipment in a cool, dry place and never put it
away when it is damp or wet.
Keep your harness as clean as possible, regularly cleaning off dirt with a
plastic bristle brush and/or a damp cloth. If the harness gets especially
dirty, wash it with water and mild soap.
Let the harness dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct
sunlight.
If your reserve parachute ever gets wet (e.g. in a water landing), remove it
from the harness, dry it and repack it before putting it back in the container.
Harness component repairs or replacement cannot be carried out by the
user but only by the manufacturer or staff authorised by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer and authorised service staff alone can use materials and
techniques to ensure correct product functionality and complete conform-
ity with product certification.
Zip fasteners should be kept clean and lubricated with silicone spray.
For any service enquiries, either from an authorised retailer or Woody Val-
ley, please quote the full identification number on the silver label located in
the rear storage pocket.
Please pay close attention to how you use and store the equipment.
Correct use will extend harness life.
We hope that you enjoy some great flights and happy landings with CREST!
