Getting started

Delivery

Every ADVANCE paraglider has to be flown by the dealer before deliv-
ery to check for correct settings and trim. The dealer finally enters the
date of the first flight on the type placard fastened on a rib at the cen-
tre of the wing. This entry confirms that defects in the product that can
be attributed to manufacturing faults are covered by the ADVANCE
warranty. Register your paraglider under www.advance.ch/warran-
ty, and benefit from the ADVANCE warranty for three years. See under
"Warranty" in the "Service" section.
Delivery of a XI includes a COMPRESSBAG, a repair kit, a mini-wind-
sock and a «Getting Started» booklet.

Basic settings

At delivery the basic set up of the XI will be the original trim situation
that the ADVANCE test team found to be best. Certification was al-
so gained in this condition. Any alterations or changes to the par-
aglider, such as altering the line lengths or fitting different risers or
quicklinks, will result in a loss of the glider's certification. See section
«Certification».
Adjusting the brake lines
The length of the brake lines has been set at the factory so that, with
hands fully up, the trailing edge remains unbraked in accelerated
flight – ( no crease in the wing ). Basically, this setting should be kept.
If the brake line length does have to be reset there should be 8 -10 cm
( depending on the glider size ) of initial free brake line movement be-
tween the brakes fully released position in unaccelerated flight, and
that point where the lines first affect the trailing edge. We recom-
mend a bowline knot for attaching the handles. See illustration in the
appendix.
