MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
In addition to your normal preflight procedure, you should also take a close look at your
RANGE X-ALPS after the reserve parachute has been packed and re-installed – normally
every six months but no later than every twelve months. Naturally, it’s important to also
check your harness closely after unusual circumstances, for example after a hard landing
or a tree landing, or if the harness shows above-average wear and tear. When in doubt, al-
ways consult an expert.
Here is what to check:
> Check all straps and buckles for wear and tear and damage.
> The stitching of all seams should be checked and, if in doubt, should be repaired to keep
problems from propagating.
> Special attention should be given to the installation of the rescue parachute, in particular
the splints.
> Check the protector for leaks. To do this, inflate the protector according to the instruc-
tions and leave it at a constant temperature for 12 hours. Check the fill level, it must be
the same as at the beginning.
> Both aluminum carabiners should be renewed after no more than five years or maximum
500 flight hours. Impact to the carabiners can result in invisible damage that could lead
to failure during use. The documentation for service work should be entered on page 58
with the name of the repair person, stamp and signature.
STORAGE
Ideal is a dry, dark place with a constant temperature. Moisture is an old enemy of the du-
rability of all paragliders. For this reason, always dry your equipment before you store it,
preferably in a heated and well ventilated room, so that moisture can evaporate.

11 REPAIRS
Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer or by an authorized skywalk ser-
vice center. Exceptions include the repair of small cuts (up to about 5 cm that don’t
affect a seam)
CHANGES TO THE HARNESS
Your skywalk RANGE X-ALPS is manufactured within the regulated parameters of tolerance.
These parameters are very narrow and must not be altered under any circumstance.
CAUTION
UNAUTHORIZED CHANGES INVALIDATE THE TYPE APPROVAL AND ALL LIABILI-
TY CLAIMS AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER ARE INVALIDATED.
12 DISPOSAL
When choosing materials, skywalk places high value on environmental compatibility and the
highest quality control. Should your harness someday no longer be flyable, remove all met-
al parts such as carabiner, etc. and remove all foams. All remaining parts can be turned in
at a recycling center. The metallic parts can be turned in at a metals recycling center. The
best solution is to send your retired skywalk harness directly to us. We will then take care
of recycling it.
13 MAINTENANCE CHECK
According to LTF regulations your harness will have to undergo a maintenance check after
24 months. The maintenance check has to be carried out by the manufacturer or its
representative.
CAUTION
IF THE HARNESS IS SUBJECTED TO ABOVE AVERAGE WEAR AND TEAR
(EXTREME FLIGHT MANEUVERS, FORBIDDEN ACROBAT FLIGHT MANEUVERS)
IT SHOULD BE INSPECTED EARLIER OR SHOULD UNDERGO AN ADDITIONAL
INSPECTION!
