Additional inspections should be performed following a crash or violent landing on the leading
edge, or if you note a deterioration of performance or behaviour.
The condition of all components and materials must be checked with the utmost accuracy during
testing in accordance with the GIN inspection instructions. These results, and an overall assessment
of the condition, are part of the check log.
Service and repair shops authorized by Gin Gliders are in possession of the Gin Gliders inspection
instruction, which contains all the necessary procedures, equipment and additional technical
information about the Evora, such as single line lengths, sewing and further material and processing
guidelines.
Validity of inspection
It is very important that your glider is serviced at the required intervals throughout its entire life. In
order to benefit from Gin Gliders warranty:
●
You must have your paraglider inspected by Gin Gliders or an inspection agent authorised by
Gin Gliders.
●
The documentation and the result of the inspection must be clearly identifiable (date and
place / name of the inspector) and be entered near the glider information/certification sticker.
Pilots are able to carry out the inspections themselves or appoint a third party to do so (e.g.
manufacturer/importer), provided that the requirements are all fulfilled. However, if this is done, the
liability and warranty of Gin Gliders will lapse.
GIN and the commissioned test laboratory recommends that inspection is carried out by the
manufacturer/importer or by an authorised inspection agent.
Repairs
Gin Gliders workshops
All repairs and servicing should be carried out by a Gin Gliders authorised workshop or directly by Gin
Gliders. Gin Gliders workshops have trained sta
ff
, original Gin Gliders parts and the necessary
know-how, all of which will ensure top quality.
Major repairs at the Evora, such as replacing panels, should only be carried out by the distributor or
manufacturer.
Small repairs to the glider
Very small holes in the sail can be repaired with the sticky back tape provided with your glider.
Damaged lines should be replaced by your GIN dealer. Before fitting a replacement line, check it for
length against its counterpart on the other side of the wing. When a line has been replaced, always
inflate the glider on flat ground to check that everything is in order before flying.
WARNING: Do not attempt to perform repairs unless you have the knowledge, experience,
materials and tools needed to do the job properly.
