Maintenance and care
Soiled canopys and containers can be cleaned carefully with clear tap water and a soft sponge
or cloth. Caution: Never use chemicals, brushes, hard sponges or similar for cleaning!
Hard mechanical rubbing is to be avoided, also cleaning it in the washer it not proper.
Frequently washing / cleaining your BACKUP accelerates the aging process.
If the rescue system gets moist or wet, it needs to be opened and aerated as soon as possible
in a well ventilated space - without direct sunlight - to avoid mould stains or formation. After it
is dry it needs to be re-packed.
Try to avoid contact with water as much as possible and also don’t cause structural strain on
the canopy for example by dragging it through water. In case the parachute got in contact with
salt water, it needs to be rinsed with clear water a couple of times and be dried afterwards.
Dried up salt crystals lead to damages on cloth and lines which leads to the expiration of the
airworthiness.
Storage
The rescue system should be stored at a dry and cool place. Oils, paints, solvent, acid and other
harmful substances should not be stored in close distance of the rescue system
In case you do not use the Backup for a longer period of time it is recommended to unpack it
and store it loosely rolled up in an air-permable bag. Before re-packing it should be aerated
again.
Damages and repairs
In case you or your packer notices damages during the check which impair the airworthiness of
the rescue system it should be sent to the manufacturer or an authorized competence center
and be repaired. Even smaller damages, which could eventually influence the airworthiness of
the system, should be sent in for checking.
attEntion: Repairs only occur at the manufacturer or at an authorized
U-Turn competence center.
Disposal
After expiration of the designated life of the rescue system a environmentally appropriate
disposal is to be secured. The synthetic materials that are used in a rescue system demand
appropriate disposal. Please return worn-out equipment to U-Turn GmbH - there they will be
disassembled and disposed of appropriately. Even if the rescue system was never activated, we
recommend to replace it after ten years of purchase date.
