him/herself. This can lead to limitation of functionality, or can even endanger your life.
For this reason any repair or corrections must be made directly by the manufacturer.
Looking after your harness
Looking after your harness correctly will prolong the life of your harness.
Deterioration: a few tips:
The Harness is mainly made of NYLON cloth and Polyester straps which, like any
synthetic material, deteriorates through excessive exposure to UV. Hence, it is
recommended that you reduce UV exposure to a minimum.
Keep the cloth and straps clean as dirt may penetrate into the fiber and damage the
cloth.
Be careful, not to allow snow, sand or stones to enter inside the harness. The sharp
edges can destroy the cloth and damage the buckles!
Never drag the harness over rough ground! This will damage the cloth on the wear
points.
Clean the harness with fresh water after contact with salt water. Pay high attention
to clean the automatic buckles. Salt water crystal can reduce strengths, even after
rinsing in fresh water.
Clean the harness only with lukewarm water with a light soapy solution. Use of
chemical cleaners or thinners is expressly prohibited. Keep automatic buckles
clean. They may be lubricated once in a year with a silicon spray.
Storage:
Store the harness a dry space at ambient temperature away from chemicals and
UV light.
Never store the harness wet. This shortens the life of the cloth. Always dry harness
thoroughly before any packing or storage.
During transport it has to be considered, that some materials of the harness are
temperature sensitive. Avoid subjecting your harness to high temperatures
(e.g. the luggage space of a parked car in the sun)!
Disposal:
The synthetic materials used in a paragliding harness need professional disposal.
Please send disused harness back to us: we will dismantle and dispose of it.
In Conclusion:
The Manix is a modern paragliding harness. You will enjoy many safe years of flying
with your Manix if you look after it correctly and adopt a mature and responsible
approach to the demands and dangers flying can pose.
It must be clearly understood that all air sports are potentially dangerous and that your
safety is ultimately dependent upon you. We strongly urge you to fly safely. This
includes your choice of flying conditions as well as safety margins during flying
maneuvers. Every pilot should be suitably qualified, have a valid license and 3rd party
insurance.
