2.Purpose
The emergency parachutes are manually-released parachutes for paraglider / hangglider pilots in an emergency situation
whileflying.
3.Conditionsofuse
Maximumspeedforusage:115km/h(32m/s)
Intervalforrepacking:12month,thentherescueparachutehastoberepackedandthisrepackinghastoberecordedinthe
“Repackandinspectionlogbook”.
Interval of inspection: 24 month, then a complete inspection of the rescue parachute is necessary. The inspection have to
berecordedinthe“Repackandinspectionlogbook”.
Operational lifespan of parachute: 10 years. The lifespan can be extended for 2 more years if the rescue parachute is
inspectedyearlyduringthislasttwoyears.Sothetotalmax.possiblelifespanis12years.
4.Necessarydocumentation
a)Owner´smanual
b)Repackandinspectionlogbook
5.Modeofoperation
During an emergency situation while flying the pilot pulls at the release handle with a firm tug. Thereby the outer container
opensandthedeploymentbagisreleased.Afterthattherescueparachutepackage(whichisstillpackedinit´sdeployment
bag)havetobethrownwithadynamicmoveintothefreeair-space.Thatmeansthereleasehandlehavetobethrownaway
togetherwiththedeploymentbag!!!
Thedeploymentbagandtheconnectionbridle,aredesignedinawaywhichreleasesthelinesandcanopyoftheparachute
notbeforetheparachutepackageisthrownaway.
This prevents an unintentional or too early opening of the rescue parachute. This is minimizing the danger of tangling up
with the paraglider, the pilot or the reason which maybe causal for the emergency case (e.g. collision with another
paraglider).
Moreover the maximum throwing speed of the deployment bag should be reached when the deployment bag leaves the
pilothand.
Ingeneral:Thefastertherescueparachutepackageisthrownaway,thequickertheparachutewillopen.
After the throw the depolyment bag opens and releases lines and canopy. The powerful throw and/or the airstream

Aftertherescueparachuteisopenedcompletely,youfirsthavetocheckthealtitudeaboveground.
If you have still enough height you should ty to make the paraglider unable to fly according to the doctrine, to avoid an V-
positionoftheparagliderandtherescueparachute.
Ifyoudonothaveenoughheightanymore,justfocusonthegroundandprepareyourselfforthelandingfall.
6.Inspectionoftheparachute
Aparachutemustbe controlledby aregisteredpacker beforeit ispacked.Afteranemergencyopeningthe parachutemust
be inspected by the manufacturer or a workshop which is authorized by the manufacturer. After a re-pack the rescue
parachuteshouldundergoareleasetest.Thisverifiesthattheopeningforceoftheharnesscontaineroroutsidecontaineris
in between2daNand7daN.
Acompatibility test must be performed by an authorized person if the rescue system and harness (with integrated rescue
container)ismountedthefirsttimeinthiscombination.Thecompatibilitymustberecordedintheparachutelogbook.
7.Behaviourifdamagesarenoticed
If you notice any damage at the rescue parachute, which may affect the airworthy condition of the rescue parachute, you
have to send the rescue parachute for inspection/repair to the manufacturer.Also, if you are not sure about the airworthy
conditioninanyway,youhavetosendtheparachutetothemanufacturer.
Attention:Chemicals,detergents,insects,mouldstainsor thelikecanhavethe samenegativeeffectstothestrengthofthe
partsasmechanicalinfluences.
8.Storage
Oil, grease, acid and paint should not be stored near the parachute. The storage space should be dry. Parachutes which
havenotbeenusedforalongperiodoftimeshouldbeopenedandthecanopylooselyrolledandstoredinabag.

Attention: Never use detergents, chemicals, brushes or hard sponges to clean the parachute! Also a cleaning in the
washingmaschineisnotallowed.
If the rescue parachute gets in contact with salt water, you have to wash it with fresh water. A cleaning accelerates the
ageingofthesystem.

17. Mounting in an outercontainer
1. Connect the release handle at the loop in the middle of
the deployment bag. Place the bridle at the side of the
containerwhichyouprefer.
2.Closethe twolateral flaps ofthe outercontainerwithtwo
packing-cords and closed it with the pins of the handle
provisionally.
3.Closetheupperandlower flapwiththepins. Removethe
packingcordsthen! 4. Close the upper flap finally. Notice the packing in the
“repackandinspectionlogbook”.
5. To avoid an unintentional opening, the German type
approval (LTF) prescribe a minimum release-force of 20 N.
Ifthesystemdoesnothavethisminimumrelease-force,itis
necessary to build in a predetermined breaking point
(special thread). This have to define a minimum release
forceof20N.
The special thread which is used as predetermined
breaking point must be put through the hole of the pin and

To secure the pin it is only allowed to use certified material
because if the strength of this material is too high the save

18.1.harnesseswithoutintegratedrescuesystemcontainer:
If the harness does not have an integrated rescue system container use one of the outercontainer which is shown at point
15.
The outercontainer shown at point 15 has got several loops, eyelets and velcro-tapes on it´s back side to attach it at the
harness.The possibilitiesoftheattachmenttotheharness dependsontheharness.Foracorrect mountingon theharness

18.2.Usageofafrontcontainer/outercontainerofanothermanufacturer:
The possible usage of a front container or of an outercontainer of an other manufacturer depends on the size and if the
container is certified. If the container is too small or not certified the operating license of the rescue system expires. If it is a

Attention:
If the parachute is mounted to a harness or a front/outer container you have to check the compatibility. This check is only
allowed to be done by therefore authorizied persons. The compatibility check have to be noticed in the “Repack and
inspectionlogbook”.
Beside some other points you have to take care particularly that the connection length of the release handle to the
