6- MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS 

Check the harness after every impact, bad landing or launch, or in the case that there are signs of damage or excessive wear. 

We recommend having your harness checked by your retailer every two years, and replacing the main karabiners every two years. 

To prevent unnecessary wear and deterioration of the harness, it is important to avoid its scraping against the ground, rocks  or abrasive 

surfaces. Do not expose the harness unnecessarily to UV radiation (sunlight) outside normal flying activities. Wherever possible, protect the 

harness from humidity and heat. 

Store all your paragliding equipment in a cool, dry place, and never put it away while damp or wet. 

Keep your harness as clean as possible by regularly cleaning off dirt with a plastic  bristle brush and/or a damp cloth. If the harness gets 

exceptionally dirty, wash it with water and a mild soap. Allow the harness to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. 

If your reserve parachute ever gets wet (e.g. in a water landing) you must remove it from the harness, dry it and repack it before putting it 

back in the container. 

Repairs and replacement of harness components cannot be performed by the user, but exclusively by the manufacturer or staff authorized by 

the manufacturer. The manufacturer and authorized service staff alone can use materials and techniques ensuring correct product 

functionality and its complete conformity to product certification. 

The harness can be washed using a tepid solution of water and mild soap. 

Zip fasteners should be kept clean and lubricated with silicone spray. 

In the case of making any request to an official retailer or Woody Valley for maintenance operations, please quote the complete identification 

number shown on the silver label in the rear pocket. 

In order to create a high-performance, lightweight harness, the materials used are of excellent quality, but have a lower weight per square 

meters with respect to standard harnesses. Therefore, pilots should take the utmost care when using and packing the X-ALPS GTO harness. 

Correct use will extend harness life. 

We hope that you enjoy great flights and happy landings with 

X-ALPS GTO !
