Maintenance - Adventure X-presso bi 2 User Manual

Designed and manufactured with safety in mind, the X-PRESSO BI 2,
with it's performances, gives access to a huge range of flying. As with all
aircraft, this equipment demands of its pilot, maturity, ability to analyse flying
conditions, competence, good maintenance and care of the equipment.
Therefore, this manual cannot replace an appropriate education of tandem
paragliding and the indispensable familiarisation to this model that you can ask
from your seller.
We recommend to carry a tandem rescue parachute.
The X-PRESSO BI 2 has been developped being aware of tandem
pilotsmain concerns: lasting ease of inflation qualities, docility for thermal flight,
stability and easy landing.
Check or have checked by your retailer, using an anemometer, the
speed of your wing flying hands high. A result of 1,9 mph less than the lower
end of the announced performance bracket requires a thorough inspection.
If necessary, wash your wing with cold water and soap.
Do not stock your wing in humid or dirty conditions. In case of long storage, do
not fold the wind too tight.
To keep as long as possible the ease of inflation qualities, avoid folding mylar
reinforcements at the ribs nose.
Every paraglider is prone to aging and must therefore be inspected regularly
(about every 100 hours of flying time and at least once a year). Before
reselling, a control will discharge your responsibility towards your buyer. We
strongly recommend getting this control from our workshop or from an
approved retailer.
We urge you to be extremely alert to all defects, damage or rupture discovered
to the suspension lines or the sail and to repair the damage as soon as
possible.
In every pre-flight check pay attention to the tightening of the maillons rapids/
carabiners, especially which link the lines to the risers and the risers to the
harness.
If you return the wing to our work shop, please send the complete wing (risers
and original bag, without harness) accompanied by the present manual. So we
can fill in the interventions carried out by us.
Please attach also a note giving your name and adress, the reason for
returning the wing and the areas to be repaired (by marking the area with
coloured tape). As a matter of fact, an important part of the repair time is
wasted by having to search for the damage. Please return the wing folded like
an accordion.
