GRAVITY Xfusion
EN REV.V01 - 2020
6.1
Use
The Xfusion system is a manually released rescue parachute for paragliding pilots. The rescue system enables safe
landing in case of an emergency. The rescue opens reliably fast and sinks with low speed. The continued maintenance
and packing according to the instructions provide a reliable use and performance in an emergency.
The paragliding rescue systems of the Xfusion series are in accordance with the EN/LTF airworthiness requirements.
For possible personal or material damage in correlation with this rescue system, the manufacturer can not be made
liable. This rescue system meets the requirements of certification at the time of delivery.
6.2
Pack & check guidelines
The Xfusion system needs to be opened, aired out and newly
packed every 12 months
. The packing needs to be
recorded in the service record of the rescue system. The periodic, official check of the rescue system needs to be
executed every 12 months and recorded in the service record booklet. The required packing interval can be shorter
when under extreme environmental influences like sand, rough surfaces, moisture, liquids, water, salt or other factors.
The check and packing will only be executed by the manufacturer or authorized competence centers.
PLEASE NOTE_
If check intervals are not frequently met the certification and warranty will voided
immediately.
6.3
Pack & check certificates
The documentation of the periodic check and a packing list is legally mandatory. Please use the service record booklet
included in the delivery of your parachute unit. Do send the booklet with your rescue system each time you send it to
an authorised packing service station/ dealership.
6.4
Two-seated flying
Only the Xfusion 220 qualifies for two-seated flying or paramotor use. It is the only size and unit which holds the
approapriate and necessary certification.
6.5
Landing
Before landing the pilot should stand up in the harness and take a ready position. This is
easier when the harness has a shoulder suspension. Shortly before landing the knees should
be bent lightly and the legs should be held/ spread about the width of the hip apart. After making ground contact
the pilot should roll off to soften the landing. Keep in mind that the paraglider probably stays deformed until the
landing in order to avoid being pulled into one direction during the landing.
6.5.1
After the landing
After the landing you should deform the rescue parachute in a controlled and steady fashion, by pulling the middle
of the canopy inside at the middle line. Strong wind can otherwise inflate the rescue parachute after the landing and
pull you into one direction. Don’t forget to look for your container after the landing. After every landing, the re-packing
and a check at an authorised dealer or service station are mandatory! Since a possible damage to the rescue system
cannot be excluded until certified - a complete check is necessary before re-packing the parachute.
