Type designation
Swing paragliders have an exact
identification on the underside of the
stabilo lines or on the centre rib, which is
obligatory for all paragliders. The
information required is set out in the
airworthiness requirements.
It is helpful to provide the type designation
of the paraglider if you are contacting your
Powerplay dealer with any queries or
ordering replacement parts or accessories,
to ensure accurate identification.
Replacement parts
As a general rule, only original
replacement parts should be used for
servicing and repairs.
Replacement parts such as lines, risers
and related components, brake handles
and self-adhesive repair material can be
obtained either directly from Swing or from
your Powerplay dealer.
Material for repairs, particularly for work to
the canopy can be obtained solely for
Swing workshops from Swing.
Repairs
Small repairs to the glider
You can repair small tears in the wing
yourself using self-adhesive sail material,
provided that the tears are in places which
do not bear heavy loads, are not at the
seams and are no bigger than 3cm.
Replacement lines for the Sting 2 can be
ordered direct from us online at:
www.swing.de  Service  Leinenservice
Line groups should be replaced only by a
Swing workshop.
Check the trim of your Sting 2 whenever
lines have been replaced.
Swing workshops
All repairs and servicing should be carried
out by a Swing-authorised workshop or
directly by Swing. Swing workshops have
trained staff, original Swing parts and the
necessary know-how, all of which will
ensure top quality.
Regular inspections
The following parts and materials must be
inspected regularly for damage, abrasion
and correct operation, e.g. after landing:
 risers and quick links
 lines
 fabric
Lines
Measuring the length of the lines is part of
the regular paraglider inspection. The lines
must be measured with a load of 5kg, in
order to ensure reproducible results for a
comparison with the lengths in the check
sheets. The line lengths for the Sting 2 are
listed in the Maintenance and Service
book.
The lines have a considerable influence on
flight behaviour. Correct line length and
symmetry are also important for
performance and handling. Swing therefore
recommends an inspection every 50 to 100
hours or once a year.

PLEASE NOTE
Environmental conditions such as high
temperatures or moisture can affect line
length.
Check the line length regularly,
particularly if you notice any change in
launch or flight behaviour.
