• Regularly check the parachute connection strap.
• Regularly check the parachute handle. Pay particular attention to the pins/rods.
Please read your parachute manual and make note of the required repacking
intervals. If the parachute becomes too hot, is exposed to mechanical stress or
becomes damp/wet it should be immediately aired and repacked.
Airbag care and maintenance
It is essential to open (unzip) the Scoop Protector before packing the harness. This
prevents damage which could cause a reduced air intake. The Scoop Protector
must be closed (zipped up) before every flight. Failing to do this means the airbag
will not be fully inflated and its usefulness will be limited.
After a hard landing, the airbag should be checked by an expert (NOVA Service
Partner). Sharp items, for example barbed wire, may also damage the airbag.
In case of longer term storage, we recommend taking the harness out of the ruck-
sack and storing it loosely with the seat plate pointing down (i.e. turning the har-
ness upside down). This helps to maintain the longevity of the foam protection.
Inspection
Every 24 months (two years) or every 150 hours, the harness must have a
NOVA Full Service. During the service, the entire harness will be checked
for possible damage.
You can locate NOVA Full Service partners here www.nova.eu/en/try-buy/
Repairs
Please do not attempt repairs on your harness. Repairs should only be performed
by an authorised service centre.
Additional information
The carabiners must be replaced after 1500 flying hours or five years (whichever
comes first)
Disposal
The synthetic materials used in the construction of a harness should be respon-
sibly disposed of. When you wish to dispose of your harness, please return it to
NOVA or to your local NOVA partner, where it will be dismantled into its individual
components and properly disposed of.
