Cleaning
If your parachute requires cleaning, it should be soaked in lukewarm water with a little mild soap. No rubbing or
scrubbing of the canopy fabric! It should then be thoroughly and repeatedly rinsed with fresh water and allowed to drip /
air dry out of direct sunlight.
Repairs
Should your Mayday parachute require any repairs or you suspect it may be damaged, it must be referred back to
APCO Aviation Ltd. or a professional parachute loft, with a certified parachute rigger to carry-out the repair.
Periodical Repacks
Even though the Mayday Emergency System should remain in good condition and work
properly over a number of years, that the parachute be repacked by a qualified person once every six months. Packing
by an unqualified person is undertaken at the pilots own risk, and is not recommended by Apco.
Lifespan
Your Mayday reserve should last you for many years for security if well cared for. We recommend that a annual
airworthiness check be done by a qualified person to ensure the airworthiness of your system. Any mayday product
older than 10 years must be default be retired, even if it appears to be airworthy. The materials used in the manufacture
of reserve parachute products may age even when stored in ideal conditions and the product is never used.
Identification
The individual serial number, canopy type and manufacture date, is located on the bridle sleeve of the reserve. In any
correspondence to Apco regarding your Mayday, please quote this information.
Attachment Procedure
There are many different harnesses on the market today, with several different reserve stowing systems. Make sure
your harness is certified and has an adequate instruction manual.
For attaching and fitting your reserve to your harness follow your harness manual instructions carefully.
