If your parachute becomes damp or wet, you have to open it and hung to dry in a shaded place. If
organically based substances or salt water are spilt on the parachute, wash it with the warm water and a
mild liquid soap. Hand rinses thoroughly and hangs to dry in a shaded place. If organic acids or oils are
spilt on the parachute, you have to treat the contaminated area with a neutralizer.
NOTE: outer bag
Unfold the canopy and
leave it for a week to find out whether permanent damage has been caused by such contamination. If
your parachute needs repair, contact your dealer or the manufacturer.
To ensure the continued serviceability to your parachute, it is necessary to repack it every 120 days.
Unlike a personal parachute used in registered aircraft, or a parachute used for intentional parachute
descents, this equipment does not have to be packed by an authorised person, you can do it yourself.
For this reason, please, read carefully maintenance and packing procedures as detailed in this manual.
4. DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES
The suggested minimum deployment height is 60-70 metres. However, should there be perfect
horizontal and vertical speed of your paraglider/hang glider at the moment of deployment as well as your
throw strength and direction, the minimum height for successful parachute deployment could be as low
as 30 metres A.G.L. Even if you doubt that your parachute could be helpful, you should deploy it.
4.1. DEPLOYMENT WHEN FLYING A HANG GLIDER
Once you have decided to use your parachute, remove it from the container by pulling the handle and
throw in the direction of least resistance, i.e. away from cables, tubes and the sail of hang glider. If
spinning, throw it in the direction of the spin. If tumbling, wait until the ground can be seen before
throwing. To perform the throw more effectively, grab hold of the hang glider frame with your other hand.
Opening time will depend upon the horizontal and vertical speed. As the landing approaches, behave in
the following way: Do not attempt to stand straight for the landing. Brace yourself against the control bar
so that the "A" frame or another part of the frame would be struck by the ground first. Then during the
destruction of the frame your vertical speed will decrease and you will get softer landing.
Check your arm reach in the prone position before sewing the parachute to the
harness.
