Wash and care of your harness
It is a good idea to wash your harness from time to time. To do this, we recommend to use a soft
solvent (such as soap), use a brush and rinse thoroughly. In any case, do not use chemicals such
as detergents or strong solvent because it may deteriorate the webbing, stitching and fabrics of your
harness.
Lifetime
The threads that compose the webbing and fabrics used in the DELIGHT have been selected in
order to ensure the best possible lightness/lifetime compromise. Nonetheless, in some conditions,
after a long term exposure to UV and/or significant abrasion or exposure to chemicals,
it is com-
pulsory to check your harness in a certified repair centre. It is about your safety.
The zip fasteners should be lubricated from time to time, using a silicon spray.
If your harness gets wet, it is advisable to treat your automatic buckles and carabiners with silicone
grease from time to time.
These carabiners must never be used for anything else else than paragliding (not for climbing, no
towing, etc ...)
The carabiners must be replaced by new ones every 5 years.
Storage and transport
When you don’t use your harness, store it inside your paragliding rucksack, in a dry, cool and clean
place, protected from UVs exposure. If your harness is wet, please dry it thoroughly before storing.
For transport, protect the harness from any mechanical or UV deterioration (use a bag). Please
avoid long transports in wet conditions.
Independently of the pre-flight check-out, you have to open and unfold your rescue parachute once
every 6 months.
Once every 2 years, you need to perform a complete check of your harness :
fabrics
•
webbings (no excessive wear, no rip beginning, no unwanted folds)
•
buckles and carabiners
