USER MANUAL
GRAVITY Xduo
EN REV.V01 - 2020
PAY ATTENTION_
It is sufficient to fold the outer risers down to cover your ears. If the
outer A-risers are pulled down over this area, the desired directional stability is no longer
guaranteed
by
the
too
large
folded-in
area.
All descent aids should be practiced in calm air and in sufficient altitude to be able to use
them effectively in extreme conditions!
9.2
B-Stall
On both sides, the red auxiliary loops attached to the B-belts are pulled down simultaneously
and quickly. The brake handles are released, or passed to the passenger, if this is also a pilot.
As a result, the flow on the prober side breaks down to a great extent and the glider goes into
a bag-like flight without advancing forward. By further pulling the loops, the area can be
reduced and increase the rate of descent. If the loops are loosened, the profile will regain its
current, the paraglider will pick up speed and return to normal. The loops on the B-straps
should be released evenly and quickly to finish. If the Xduo gets into the deep stall due to too
slow skipping of the B-stall, which is not normally the case, see chapter “"Extreme flight
manoeuvres".
9.3
Emergency piloting/ control
If for some reason it is not possible to control the GRAVITY Xduo with the brake lines, it can
also be controlled and landed very well with the back risers. Turns can be flown and added
with a weight shift, but please pay attention that the glider does not lock in a spiral.

REPAIRS_
In general, repairs to paragliders may only be carried out by authorized service centres. Small
damages such as cracks or small holes up to a size of 2 x 2 cm, which can be carried out
without special equipment, may be carried out by the pilot him-/ herself. The supplied repair
adhesive sail from the repair kit is to be used. Cracks or small holes are made from either side
of the damaged area. Please note that the repair adhesive sail protrudes at least 2 cm above
the damaged area on all sides. The adhesive sail can be cut to the appropriate shape.
Rounding the corners prevents detachment and fraying.
