Page 11: Description Of The Omega, Components
Check with PV before you make any changes to your Omega. It was designed and built the way it is after years of testing and development. There are reasons for having things the way they are—reasons that might not be apparent at first. - Page 12 Page: 12 Second-hand Omegas If you obtained your Omega second-hand from a private party, be sure it is airworthy before using it. Have a rigger or loft inspected it before you jump it. If you prefer, PV will inspect your second-hand Omega. There is a reasonable charge for this service.

Page 16: Maintenance And Care
Maintenance and Care INTRODUCTION Your Omega will last longer, look better and function correctly if it is maintained. An Omega actually requires very little maintenance unless it is subjected to unusual conditions such as a jump into salt water or a muddy landing. - Page 17 Although the Performance Variable strives to find better alternatives to Velcro, there still re- main some areas on the Omega where nothing else will do, namely the Velcro for the break- away handles, ripcord pockets, steering toggles and reserve static line lanyards.
- Page 18 It‘s important to maintain the system even more frequently in humid, muddy or freezing con- ditions. If the Omega becomes immersed in mud or muddy water, clean the 3 -ring release system with a mild solution of soap and water. Any rusted components must be replaced.
- Page 19 Inspect the fittings at the end of each housing. If one of these fittings were to come off the housing, a riser might release prematurely. If any wear is found, consult Performance Variable or a rigger before using the Omega.

Page 27: Assembling And Packing The Main Parachute
The Omega is compatible with almost every parachute in common use today. Omega is available with a variety of main container sizes.

Oversized or un- dersized canopy volumes may cause a pilot-chute-in-tow or premature opening of the main container. - Page 28 Be sure that there are no flaps under the bag.
