Compatibility- check
A control of every new combination of rescue system and harness/outer container has to be
carried out by either the producer of the harness or the rescue system or an authorized
person (dealer or flight instructor). The activation of the rescue system in flight position has to
be correct and in conformity to the construction guidelines.
The check has to be recorded in the documentation of the rescue system. The
throwing movement should be practiced every time the rescue system is repacked.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
Check (regularly)
connection of the rescue system to your harness
connection of the harness and deployment handle
helping line from the fixing loops is removed (after each packing)
Check compatibility of rescue system and harness
Before each start with your paraglider you have to check the

Care, maintenance and repair
Care Instructions
Please do not store your rescue system in the vicinity of acids, grease, oils or paint. To
ensure safe operation, the system needs proper maintenance and care.
Do not store your rescue system in extreme temperatures or humidity
(more than 30
°
C 0r 55-65% humidity).
A humid or wet canopy needs repacking.
Exposure to UV-rays causes deterioration of the fabric.
Please only use clean and fresh water to clean your rescue system or container.
Wet cloth stored in warm conditions will begin to mould and significantly lose structural
strength. Rescue systems in this condition must be brought to the manufacturer to be
checked.
It may take several days to dry out the rescue completely especially the lines of the
rescue system, which take longer than the fabric.
Do not fold and store your rescue system prematurely if it not completely dry. Mildew
may damage your harness and your rescue system.
