Repairs, Inspections and Warranty

If you are not sure about the correct

length of the brake lines, please send
your glider to SWING or a SWING
authorised workshop to be checked.

Inspection

General

SWING

’s s

ervice 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
glider in the future as well.



PLEASE NOTE

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 and
2. Maintenance and Service book.
These can be downloaded from our
website at:

http://www.swing.de/MIURA-rs-en.html

Inspection periods

SWING gliders must be inspected as
follows (check the situation in your
country):

•

All Gliders must be inspected every

two years from the purchase date.

•

The glider must be inspected after
150 hours of use (including ground
handling) if this occurs first.

Ground handling time must be at least
doubled when calculating the total

hours of use because of the increased
wear and tear on the glider.

Validity of inspection

It is very important that your glider is

serviced at the required intervals
throughout its entire life.
Please be aware here of the specific

requirements set out in the
maintenance instructions.
In order to benefit from SWING

’s

warranty:

•

you must have your paraglider

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.

The liability and warranty of SWING

Flugsportgeräte GmbH will lapse if the
inspection is carried out by the pilot or
a not authorised person.
The DHV recommends that inspection

is carried out by the

manufacturer/importer or by an
authorised inspection agent.



PLEASE NOTE

The owner is responsible for the
airworthiness of the paraglider. This

includes complying with the
inspection periods.
