IMPORTANT: Any repairs should only be
carried out by the manufacturer or by an
approved agent. This will ensure that the
correct materials and repair techniques are
used. Maintenance and repairs
The materials used in this harness have been carefully selected for maximum durability.
Nevertheless, keep your harness clean and airworthy to ensure the longest possible period of safe
operation.
Care and maintenance
Don’t drag your harness over rough or rocky ground. Avoid unnecessary exposure to UV rays,
heat and humidity. Keep the folded harness in your rucksack when not in use.
Store all your equipment in a cool, dry place, and never put it away while damp or wet. Regularly
clean off dirt with a plastic bristled brush and/or a damp cloth. If the harness gets exceptionally
dirty, wash it with water and a mild soap. Make sure you first remove the entire sub-components
for example, rescue parachute etc. Allow the harness to dry naturally in a well ventilated area
away from direct sunlight. If your rescue parachute ever gets wet (e.g. in a water landing) you
must separate it from the harness, dry it and repack it before putting it back in its separate outer
container. Occasionally lubricate the zips and buckles with silicone spray, no more than once a year.
After a hard landing you must check your harness for damage, pay close attention to the rescue
container and verify all of the attachments are secure.
