Repairs, inspections and Warranty
WARNING
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 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
2. Maintenance and Service book.
These can be downloaded from our website

TWIN RS
Inspection periods
The TWIN RS must be inspected as follows
(check the situation in your country):
All Gliders must be inspected at least
every two years from the purchase date.
The glider must be inspected after 150
hours of use (including ground handling)
if this occurs prior to the period given
above.
Ground handling time must be at least
doubled when calculating the total hours of
use because of the increased wear and tear
on the materials.
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.
