Maintenance
mechanisms must work smoothly and
should close, lock and open reliably.
The twist-lock aluminium carabiners
from Woody Valley included in delivery
must be replaced at least every five
years.
Contact with salt water
If salt water gets on the harness, it
should be rinsed immediately in fresh
water (before it dries) and then allowed
to dry in a well-ventilated place in the
shade.
There can be permanent damage to
the fabric of the harness if it is not
rinsed thoroughly.
Repairs and inspection
Repairs
TIP
SWING harnesses have an accurate
identification in the rear storage
compartment.
It is helpful to provide the type
designation of the harness if you are
contacting your SWING dealer with
any queries or ordering replacement
parts or accessories, to ensure
accurate identification.
SWING workshops
All repairs and servicing should be
carried out by a SWING-authorised
workshop or directly by SWING. SWING
workshops have trained staff, original
SWING parts and the necessary know-
how, all of which will ensure top quality
work.
Repairs to the airbag should only be
carried out by the manufacturer.
Small repairs to the harness
You can repair small tears in the
harness yourself using self-adhesive
sail material, provided that the tears
are in places which do not bear heavy
loads, are not at the seams and are no
bigger than 3cm.
The material is available from SWING.
Inspection
General
SWING’s service programme as set out
in the Maintenance and Service book
should be followed so that the same
high level of flight safety, operational
safety and reliability is ensured for your
harness in the future as well. This can
be downloaded from the SWING
website under Product Information.
The inspection documentation should
be completed and signed immediately.
Failure to observe the inspection
periods renders invalid the certification
and warranty. A properly completed
logbook with details and all flying and
training will help you to comply with
these periods.
SWING recommends that you send the
harness for inspection at the same
time as the wing.
Inspection periods
The following inspection periods apply
in Germany to the CONNECT RACE
LITE (check the situation in your

Harnesses used by schools or
commercially must be inspected
