Section 02
Safety
than as intended is not permitted. Do
not under any circumstances use the
paraglider as a parachute. Acrobatics
are not permitted.
Observe the other specific safety advice
in the various sections of this Manual.
Safety notices
Safety notices are issued when defects
arise during use of a paraglider which
could possibly also affect other gliders
of the same model.
The notices contain instructions on how
to inspect the gliders concerned for
possible faults and the steps required
to rectify any faults.
SWING publishes on its website any
technical
safety
notices
and
airworthiness instructions which are
issued in respect of SWING products.
We will also send you safety notices
directly by email if you have registered
your product (refer to “Product
Registration” in the section “SWING on
the World Wide Web”).
WARNING
The paraglider owner is responsible
for carrying out the action required
by the safety notice.
Safety notices are released by the
certification agencies and are also
published on the relevant websites. You
should therefore visit the safety pages
of the certification agencies on a
regular basis and keep up-to-date with
new safety notices which cover any
products relating to paragliding (refer
to Appendix for addresses).
Services such as RSS are also available
which allow internet users to follow
various websites and changes to them
without having to access them
individually. This allows much more
information to be followed than was
previously the case.
Disclaimer and exclusion of
liability
Use of the paraglider is at the pilot’s
own risk!
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for any personal injury or material
damage which arises in connection with
SWING paragliders. The certification
and warranty shall be rendered invalid if
there are changes of any kind (incl.
paraglider design or changes to the
brake lines beyond the permissible
tolerance levels) or incorrect repairs to
the glider, or if any inspections are
missed (annual and 2-yearly check).
Pilots are responsible for their own
safety and must ensure that the
airworthiness of the glider is checked
prior to every flight. The pilot should
launch only if the paraglider is airworthy.
In addition, when flying outside of
Germany, pilots must observe the
relevant regulations in each country.
The glider may only be used if the pilot
has a licence which is valid for the area
or is flying under the supervision of an
approved flying instructor. There is no
liability on the part of third parties, in
particular the manufacturer and the
dealer.
Intended use
The NYOS RS has solely to be used as
“light aerial sports equipment” with an
empty weight of less than 120 kg,
category paraglider.
Disclaimer and exclusion of liability
In terms of the warranty and guarantee
conditions, the paraglider may not be
