02. INTRODUCTION 2.1 Safety Instruction The use of this rescue system is at your own risk. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any personal injury or material damage related to the use of this reserve system. The Salvage SQ is not suitable for speeds in excess of 32 m/s or 115 km/h.

Page 5: Rescue Canopy Salvage Sq
03. RESCUE CANOPY SALVAGE SQ Through to intensive development work, we have succeeded to develop a square canopy for the paragliding sport. The Salvage SQ is easy to pack, with a small size and weight and has very high pendulum stability. Despite a high maximum towing capacity, we were able to achieve very good sink rate. - Page 6 The operation manual is available for download at www.MAC PARA.com 3.4 Quality assurance The MAC PARA rescue devices go through a step by step control during the whole production. After every step, the product is accurately checked and only after a successful pass of the test the following step will be started.

The rescue rises above the pilot, the glider dives forward or sideways. Now you must immediately attempt to deform the glider strongly (B- or C-Stall, or pull one line in) that the glider disturbs the rescue in his movements as little as possible.

06. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION Before each packing the parachute must be inspected by the person who is packing it. If the rescue system has been deployed in an emergency situation or during a safety training, it has to be re-checked by the manufaturer or by an authorised service centre. It must also be thoroughly inspected by a competent person after every larger stress exposure (e.g. -
Page 12: Attachment To The Harness
07. ATTACHMENT TO THE HARNESS The Salvage SQ is only available with the short bridle option. The short bridle option is for harnesses that already have reserve bridles in place. The Salvage SQ must be connected with a carabiner. Direct connection between the main riser and the harness bridle is not recommended, as a wrongly installed knot or shock opening could significantly weaken the system depending on the configuration! When using a connection carabiner the breaking load of the carabiner must have a min. -
Page 13: Packing Intervall
08. PACKING INTERVALL Ideally our parachute should be repacked every 6 months, preferably by a qualified professional to ensure best operation. Maximal interval is 12 months. It makes sense when you throw the rescue package for training on this occasion in a clean, dry space. Before the rescue is repacked it must be subjected to a visual inspection by the packer. - Page 14 SALVAGE SQ 110, SALVAGE SQ 130 - PREPARATION FOR PACKING 2) Move packing loops to get them 3) Attach the line on a fixed point. 1) String the packing loops on a line. closer. 5) When you put the main rescue lines...
