inspection.

Every single line of each glider is measured individually once the final 
assembly has concluded. Each wing is then individually inflated for the 
last visual revision.

Each glider is packaged following the maintenance and conservation 
instructions recommended for the advanced materials. NIVIUK gliders 
are made of first class materials as demanded by the performance, 
durability, and homologation requirements of the present-day market. 

Information about construction materials is given on the last pages of this 
manual.

1.5  ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS

The ICEPEAK 6 is delivered to its owner together with a series of 
components that, although not fundamental, do take an important part in 
the use, transport and storage of the paraglider:

The new large capacity Kargo rucksack 220L, ideal for packing also one 
competition harness (such as the Drifter). Capacity and comfort all in 
one.

The N-Kare bag which makes easy the glider folding process. Moreover, 
it protects the wing when packing and carrying. An adjustable strap for 
quick and easy compression to fold the wing as small as possible

A small fabric repair including auto adhesive rips top (same colours of the 
wing) and replacement maillon blockers.

An instruction booklet including the technical data info, the line plan and 
some tips.
The user’s manual with the answers all our questions about our new 
ICEPEAK 6 is available at

2.  UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

2.1  CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE

We recommend that you unpack and assemble your wing on a schooling 
slope or a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. 
These conditions will allow you to carry out all the steps required for you 
to check and inflate the ICEPEAK 6.

We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervises the entire 
procedure as only they are competent to resolve any doubt in a safe and 
professional way.

2.2 PROCEDURE

Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open it and spread it open, with 
the lines on top of the underside, position the wing as if you were to 
inflate it. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines, make sure there 
are no abnormalities. Check the maillons that attach the lines to the risers 
are properly closed. Identify and order the A, B, C lines, the brake lines 
and the corresponding risers. Make sure that there are no ties or knots.
 
2.3  ASSEMBLY OF THE HARNES

Correctly place the risers on the harness karabiners. The risers and lines 
should not have any twists and they should be in the right order. Check 
that the harness buckles are correctly locked.

2.4 TYPE OF HARNES

The ICEPEAK 6 has been certified on EN D with a harness according to 
the following rules:

• 2. DV LuftGerPV §1, Nr. 7 c (LTF)
• European Standard EN1651
