The only admissible repairs done on lines are those where the damaged lines are changed for
new ones. Lines must be exclusively supplied by Gradient, an authorised dealer or authorised
service centre. When ordering new lines use the codes in the attached line diagram. Use the
code “G4” (Golden4) and tell us the size your glider followed by the line code. For example,
the outside long line in row A for a Golden4 28 is: ‘G4 28 A 1.3.’
An exception to this is an emergency repair while out flying. For this purpose Gradient
encloses a spare line with every Golden4 with a prepared loop on one end. To get the right
length adjust it according to the same line on the opposite side of the canopy and then, if
necessary, attach your brake handle. As soon as you can, change the line for an original one
from your authorised Gradient service centre.
After changing any lines a thorough pre-flight check must be done. Don’t hesitate to ask your
instructor or an experienced colleague for help. If you’re not sure, entrust the job to either
the manufacturer or an authorised Gradient dealer.
9. Enjoy your flying
Even though the Golden4 has outstanding performance and stability it must be understood
that even the safest paraglider is an aircraft and that all air sports can be relatively dangerous.
Remember that your safety lies in your own hands and that “lucky pilots are well prepared
pilots”.
Never underestimate weather conditions. And never forget that you are flying for pleasure
and not to become a ‘fallen hero’. Remember this and the fun that only free-flying can bring
will be yours.
We believe that your sensible attitude and the flight characteristics of your Golden4 will
combine to ensure you have many hours of fantastic flying.
GRADIENT wishes you many fabulous flights and happy landings.
