Check

The PI 2 has to have a check every 24 months, or 100 flights, or 100

flying hours – whichever comes first – at an approved ADVANCE

checking organisation . At the check the condition of all materials is in-

spected according to strict guidelines, and with great care and atten-

tion to detail . Finally, the overall condition of the paraglider is assessed

and recorded in a test report . There's more information about the

check in the "Service" section of this manual, or on www .advance .ch .

As a general rule you should not attempt to repair a paraglider yourself .

The various seams and lines are made with great precision, and, for

this reason, only the manufacturer or an authorised service centre may

fit identical replacement parts or replace entire cells . Exceptions to this

rule are the replacement of lines and the repair of the small tears or

holes in the fabric that may be glued with the self-adhesive ripstop in-

cluded in the repair kit . After a repair, or the replacement of a line, the

glider must always be opened out and checked on the ground before

the next flight .

Spare parts such as lines, quicklinks and repair materials for the PI 2

can be obtained from ADVANCE or an ADVANCE Service Centre and/

or dealer .
