Repairs, inspection and warranty 

Section 9

DANGER 

Do not under any circumstances use 
knots to shorten the lines. Any knot will 
weaken the line considerably and may 
cause the line to break in case of high 
load.  

The overhand knot and bowline knots 
described are permitted only for 
connecting the main brake lines/brake 
handle. 

 

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 mini wing in the future as 
well. 
 

 

NOTICE 

Read the Maintenance and Service 
book and follow the terms therein to 
ensure the validity of Swing’s warranty, 
the glider’s certification and insurance 
cover. 

 

Failure to observe the inspection periods 
shall render invalid the certification and 
warranty. A properly completed logbook with 
details of all flying and training will help you 
to comply with these periods. 

There is additional information on 
inspections in two separate booklets, both of 
which form part of this Manual:  

1. Inspection information (required only in 
Germany and Austria), and  

2. Maintenance and Service book (one 
booklet for each size and model). 

These can be downloaded from our website 
at: 

www.swing.de

 Hybrid Sport 

Inspection periods 

In Germany, the Hybrid Sport must be 
inspected as follows (check the situation in 
your country): 

Annually or after 100 hours of use 
(whichever occurs first). Ground handling 
time must be at least doubled when 
calculating the total hours of use. 

A regular visual inspection of the lines must 
be carried out in the case of a high number 
of ski launches. 

Validity of inspection 

It is very important that your mini wing is 
serviced at the required intervals throughout 
its entire life. In order to benefit from 
Swing’s warranty: 

  you must have your mini wing inspected 

by Swing or an inspection agent 
authorised by Swing  

  the documentation and the result of the 

inspection must be clearly identifiable 
(date and place / name of the inspector) 
and be entered near the glider 
information/certification sticker.

 

 

WARNING 

A damaged line can result in loss of 
control of the glider. Always replace 
lines which are damaged. 

If you need to replace damaged or 
worn-out parts, use only original parts 
or approved parts from the 
manufacturer.
