Deploying a rescue parachute should only be done in an emergency. With a strong lateral and then vertical tug, pull the handle towards you and then throw the parachute away from you ( including the container and its handle ) toward a clear unobstructed area of the sky. As soon as the parachute deploys, bring as much of the glider as possible toward you by pulling symmetrically on the “C” or “D” risers or on the toggles/brakes. Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position with knees together and legs slightly bent. Prepare to roll down, hands on your chest, ankles together with pivoting hips and shoulders in a Paragliding Landing Fall (PLF) configuration. Towing To takeoff under tow you must be equipped with a quick release specially designed for the task. Connect the towing release system to the main carabiner attachment points in accordance to manufacturer recommendations. Before towing you should consult with a competent towing outfit about safety recommendations. Mandatory controls Mandatory biannual inspection. - Ascertain parachute deployment functionality by pulling the handle to activate a clean POD extraction sequence. - Inspect the harness for wear and tear. Annual check - An annual deployment and repacking of the reserve parachute must be conducted by competent and certified personnel. SUPAIR | MINIMAX BUMP | page 12...
Harness cleaning and maintenance. It is a good idea to clean your harness from time to time. We recommend using a brush and soft solvents only ( soap or mild cleaning agents ). Rinse thoroughly. Never use aggressive chemicals such as strong solvents which could be harmful to the fabric, webbings, stitching and weaken the overall integrity of the harness. The zippers should be lubricated from time to time using a silicon spray. If you regularly use your harness in a dusty environment ( dirt, sand , etc... ) we advise you to regularly check and maintain your cara- biners and buckles : clean them with a mild detergent, then, blow-dry them fully but DO NOT LUBRICATE ! Prior to using them conduct a thorough carabiners and buckles checkup to insure their full functionality. If you use your harness in a marine/sandy/salty environment, pay particular attention to your gear and follow a regular rigorous main- tenance routine. If your air bag is damaged, have it professionally checked and repaired if necessary. Storage and transport. When not in use your harness should be stored inside your paragliding backpack in a dry cool and clean place protected from UV ex- posure. If your harness is wet please dry it thoroughly before stowing it away. During transport protect the harness against mechanical or UV deterioration (use a bag). Avoid long transports in wet conditions. Life-span Once every two (2) years a thorough harness inspection must be conducted : • Webbing wear and tear (no excessive wear nor rip beginning or unwanted folds). • Buckles and carabiners ( functionality wear and tear ). • The BUMPAIR integrity (especially after a strong impact ), in other words, no holes, tears or rips. The threads and fabric used to manufacture the MINIMAX BUMP were specifically selected for their quality and resilient capacities. However in particular instances such as long term UV exposure abrasion, contact with damaging chemicals, general wear and tear, the harness will need to be inspected at a professional certified repair facility. Safety comes first! The self-locking carabiners are NEVER to be used for any activities other than paragliding. SUPAIR | MINIMAX BUMP | page 13...
