5- MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Check the harness after every impact, bad landing or launch, or in the case that there are signs of damage or excessive wear.
We recommend having your harness checked by your retailer every two years, and replacing the main karabiners every two years.
To prevent unnecessary wear and deterioration of the harness, it is important 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 humidity 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 performed by the user, but exclusively by the manufacturer or staff authorized by
the manufacturer. The manufacturer and authorized service staff alone can use materials and techniques ensuring correct product
functionality and its complete conformity to product certification.
