6- MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
The harness must be inspected every 24 months or every 12 months in the
case of intensive use (> 150 hours per year) Contact your dealer or qualified
personnel who will have to follow the manufacturer’s inspection protocol.
In case of hard impact or landing, make sure that there is no visible damage
and perform an inspection regardless. As per parameters indicated by their
manufacturer, karabiners should be replaced once they have reached 2000
hours of flight or 5 years from the date of purchase.
To prevent unnecessary wear and deterioration of the harness, it is impor-
tant to avoid its scraping 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 humi -
dity and heat. Store all your paragliding equipment in a cool, dry place, and
never put it away while damp or wet.
Keep your harness as clean as possible by regularly cleaning off dirt with a
plastic bristle brush and/or a damp cloth. If the harness gets exceptionally
dirty, wash it with water and a mild soap. Allow the harness to dry naturally
in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
If your reserve parachute ever gets wet (e.g. in a water landing) you must
remove it from the harness, dry it and repack it before putting it back in the
container. Repairs and replacement of harness components cannot be per-
formed by the user, Only the manufacturer or those authorized by him may
use the materials and techniques that guarantee the product’s functionali-
ty and compliance with approval and continuation of the warranty.
The harness can be washed using a tepid solution of water and mild soap.
Zip fasteners should be kept clean and lubricated with silicone spray.
In the case of making any request to an official retailer or Woody Valley for
maintenance operations, please quote the complete identification number
shown on the silver label in the rear pocket.
We hope that you enjoy great flights and happy landings with EXENSE /
