The„UP Profile Light was developed
with particular focus on weight and
volume. The materials used in the
manufacturing were chosen
accordingly.
The actual service time that you will
get out of your new rescue system
depends to a high degree on the way
you treat it! Always beware that the
condition of your rescue system is
closely linked to your own personal
safety. Check it frequently for signs of
wear and have damaged components
replaced immediately by UP
authorised repair facilities.
Take special care to check all
structural stitching. Any damaged
stitching must be repaired immediately
by a UP authorised repair facility.
Furthermore you are always welcome
to send your harness to UP Europe for
checks and repairs!
To avoid unnecessary weakening of
the UP Profile light rescue system we
recommend the following precautions:
• Should the parachute get wet it
must be opened, dried out (never
in direct sunlight!) and repacked.
A wet, or even just a humid
reserve parachute may not
function properly and may
become mildewy. If the damp
canopy is subjected to even
moderate heating the cloth may
begin to disintegrate.
•
Should your parachute be
exposed to excessive mechanical
abrasion it must be returned to UP
for checking. One example could
be the harness with the reserve
mounted being run over by a car.
If in doubt always return your
parachute to UP for professional
checking.
•
Avoid fire and sharp objects near
the rescue system
• Avoid unnecessary UV exposure
(sunlight). UV radiation affects the
molecular structure of the
materials used for the rescue
system and will weaken it if
exposed for longer periods
•
Avoid exposure to salt water or
acids. Should the parachute
become exposed to salt water it
must be rinsed with fresh water,
dried and repacked
•
If you find yourself hanging under
your parachute from a tree, check
it very carefully for wood resin.
Resin may impede future opening
of the parachute
•
UP recommends repacking the
parachute every 6 months

If you feel it necessary to clean your
UP Profile light at any time then use
lots of lukewarm water and a soft
sponge. More stubborn stains can be
cleaned with a weak soap solution,
and rinsed thoroughly. Subsequently
dry out the canopy in the shade or in a
well-ventilated room.

Never use
chemical cleaning agents,
brushes or hard sponges
on the material, as these
destroy the coating and
affect the strength of the
cloth.
