SUPAIR XP2 - Care

Care
Harness care.
It is a good idea to wash your harness from time to time. We recommend using a soft solvent (such as mild soap). Use a
brush and rinse thoroughly. Do not use chemicals such as caustic detergents or strong solvent for then may deteriorate
the webbing, stitching and the harness fabric.
Longevity
The threads composing the webbing and fabrics used in the XP² have been selected in order to ensure the best possible
lightness/lifetime compromise. Nonetheless, in some conditions, after a long term exposure to UV and/or signicant abra-
sion or exposure to chemicals, it is compulsory to have your harness checked in a certied repair centre. It is about your
safety.
The zip fasteners should be lubricated from time to time, using a silicon spray.
If your harness gets wet, it is advisable to treat your self-locking buckles and carabiners with silicone grease from time
to time.
These carabiners must never be used for anything else than paragliding (not for climbing, not towing, etc.).
The carabiners must be replaced by a new set every 5 years.
Storage and transport. When not in use, store your harness inside your paragliding rucksack, in a dry, cool and clean place, protected from UVs
exposure. If wet, dry thoroughly before storing.
During transport, keep the harness away from any mechanical or UV exposure (use a bag). Please avoid long transports
in wet conditions.
Independently of the pre-ight check, you have to open, unfold and repack your rescue parachute once every 6 months.
Once every 2 years, you need to perform a complete harness check :
Carbon seat plate : no crack or asperity.
Webbings : (no excessive wear, unraveling or unwanted folds).
Buckles and carabiners ( no structural cracks / works ne ).
