10 MAINTENANCE, CARE
The selected materials used in the RANGE X-ALPS make it necessary to treat them care-
fully and in a professional manner. Make an effort to take care of your harness and keep it
clean to preserve its airworthiness over the longest possible time.
> Avoid dragging your harness over stony ground and always try to land standing up. Don’t
leave your harness lying in the sun unnecessarily long. UV radiation is very damaging to
the material.
> Keep your harness in a paraglider rucksack when not using it.
> Store your paragliding equipment loosely packed in a cool and dry place. If it gets wet,
always dry out your equipment before packing it.
> To clean it, just use a brush or a damp cloth. Use mild soap to clean it only when absolutely
necessary. If you do, first remove other parts like the reserve parachute. The coating of
the material can be damaged by brushing or rubbing.
> Let the harness dry in a well-ventilated, shady place if it was wet. If the reserve
parachute gets wet, (e.g. during a water landing), then it is necessary to open it up,
let it dry, and pack it again.
> After a hard landing, check the protector for damage. A tear or a broken seam in the
protector can ruin the protector’s functionality! In such a case, the protector must
be repaired before the next use of the harness.
> Zippers should be treated with silicon spray once a year.
MATERIALS
The skywalk RANGE X-ALPS is manufactured from the highest quality materials. skywalk
has selected the best possible combination of materials with regard to resilience, perfor-
mance and longevity. We are aware that the durability of the harness is a deciding factor
in the pilot’s satisfaction.
CAUTION
TO ENSURE A LONG LIFE, THE MATERIALS USED REQUIRE CAREFUL,
PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT.
9 MISCELLANEOUS
WINCH-TOWING
The RANGE X-ALPS is suitable for winch-towing launches. There are no special attachments
for this type of launch. The tow release is attached either to the main carabiners or even-
better to a tow adapter that extends beyond the ends of the risers before these are hooked
to the carabiners. Follow the instructions of the tow release and the tow adapter or ask a
flight instructor who is experienced with paraglider towing.
TANDEM FLIGHT
The RANGE X-ALPS is not a suitable harness for tandem flight.
SAFETY TRAINING AND FLYING OVER WATER
We do not recommend using the RANGE X-ALPS for flying over water or for safety
training. It is possible that the Air-protector of the harness could force the pilot under
water after a water landing.
CAUTION
BE CAREFUL WHEN FLYING OVER WATER!
