8. READ BEFORE ASSEMBLY OR USE

Since parachutes are manufactured and inspected by people there is always a possibility  that 

this parachute contains defects as a result of human error. Therefore, each individual component 

of the complete parachute system must be thoroughly inspected before their first use and before 

each use thereafter. 

For a number of reasons, parachutes suffer degradation through time and the damage may or 

may not be obvious. Therefore parachute and aviation associations around the world have laws 

regarding repack and inspection cycles for parachutes. Make sure that you are aware of the laws 

pertaining to you. 

Inspections must be performed by a qualified and properly certificated rigger who has previous 

experience with this type of parachute. 

This parachute should be immediately inspected if at any time it was exposed to any 

environmental factor that could cause damage. 

Be aware that some chemicals will continue to degrade the materials this parachute is made of 

long after initial exposure. 

If the ICARUS NANO  Reserve  canopy has been exposed to  or  stored in extreme humidity or 

became wet during a water jump or so called “water swoop” landing, the ICARUS NANO Reserve 

canopy must be unpacked, aired and dried, inspected and repacked before the next use! 

Regular and thorough inspections are necessary to maintain the structural integrity, reliability, 

and, last but not least, the flight characteristics of this reserve parachute. 

Ensure that you know the entire life history of every single part of your parachute system.
