VERIFY
that you have in your possession all of the items
listed in step 1, as confirmation that no objects have been left
inside the folded parachute.
10. MAINTENANCE
The canopy is to be stored in clean and dry area. Avoid
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If it gets wet, dry the
canopy and lines thoroughly and immediately to prevent
damage caused by mould. Contamination by oils, or any other
chemicals could significantly reduce the load stability of the life-
saving system. The manufacturer must inspect contaminated
canopies. The outer container can be cleaned (WITHOUT the
canopy inside!) using water and a mild detergent followed by a
thorough rinse and drying. Use only clean water without soap
to clean the canopy and lines.
11. REPAIR
All the repairs must be carried by the manufacturer. Any
unqualified repair might lead to a system failure.
12. SPARE PARTS
Your Sky System 3 reserve parachute consists of many high-
quality, long-life components. When replacing parts (lines,
risers, fabric panels, etc.), only original parts should be used.
In addition to the continued airworthiness of your reserve
parachute, this is important for your safety as well.
