LOOKING AFTER YOUR GLIDER 

helmet. Also the certification placard must be present on the glider. Every pilot should 
be suitably qualified, have a valid license and 3rd party insurance. 

The MacJet is delivered with a stuff-sack, Velcro compression strap, MAC PARA 
backpack, repair kit and user manual. 

 

Warranty 

MAC PARA guarantees free of charge repairs caused by the material or production 
faults according to the following scheme: 

For powered flying the warranty covers 24 months (2 years) or 200 flight hours 
(whichever comes first). 

Warranty does not cover:  

•

 

canopy colour fading  

•

 

damage caused by chemicals or salt water  

•

 

damage caused by incorrect use  

•

 

damage caused by emergency situations  

•

 

damage resulting from accidents (airborne or not) 

 

Warranty is only valid if :  

•

 

every flight is correctly registered in the logbook of the wing 

•

 

conditions, temperatures of each flight are registered in the logbook 

•

 

the paraglider is handled in accordance with the operating manual 

•

 

the purchaser has not carried out any repair by him/herself (excl. minor repairs with 
self-adhesive patches) 

•

 

carried out any modifications 

•

 

the paraglider has been inspected according to prescribed timetable. 

 

If you have bought your paraglider second-hand, ask the previous owner of the 
paraglider for a copy logbook (total of flying hours since the date of first purchase and 
details of any checks). 

 

 

TREATING NATURE WITH RESPECT 

Finally the call to practise our sport with respect for nature and wildlife!  Not everyone is 
a friend of your paramotor noise. Follow the rules and the laws. Care must be taken 
when flying near livestock and animals.
