Page 12: General Advice
www.apcoaviation.com 19 General Advice A qualified person or agent of the company should check your equipment every year. The equipment is carefully manufactured and checked by the factory. Never make changes to the harness, canopy or the lines. Changes can introduce dangerous flying characteristics and will not improve flying performance. Do not put your equipment in direct sunlight when not necessary. In order to protect your equipment during transportation or waiting time we recommend one of our lightweight storage bags. Paragliding and Paramotor flying should always be done in a way that has minimum impact on wildlife and the environment. Respect access regulations and the wishes and rights of landowners. - Page 13 www.apcoaviation.com...
