13. Landing

While on the final approach, assume upright position and prepare your legs. Touchdown when still sitting is

unacceptable and very dangerous, as even despite the impact pad there is high risk of spine injury. Land always on

your feet, with a few steps to bleed off the speed if necessary. impact pad is not a landing aid and was not designed as

such.

Water landing is potentially very dangerous, with imminent risk of drowning. If it is unavoidable, prepare yourself by

releasing all the buckles and straps beforehand. In the last moment get out of the harness to avoid getting tangled in

suspension lines or other gear. The harness does not sink, so you can later grab it and use as a lifebuoy.

Water landing while still in harness is extremely dangerous. impact pad does not sink and will always

float, forcing your head under water and rendering breathing very hard or impossible. There is very high

risk of getting tangled in lines and drowning.

The Disco harness was not designed - and remains unsuitable - for tandem operations.

All materials for the harness were carefully selected, keeping their quality and durability in mind. With help of your

care they will keep your harness in good condition for a long time. The harness is best cleaned with a wet sponge,

possibly a bit of soap. Do not use any detergents nor solvents. If there is a lot of mud, use the brush first before wet

cleaning.

In case of completely soaked harness (e.g. after water landing) dry it in a well aired place, away from direct sun

operation.

Soaked back impact pad must be taken out of the harness and dried with opened zip. If this will be not enough,

remove the airfoam and dry it separately.

Soaked rescue chute always has to be completely removed from the harness, dried and packed again by a licensed

person.

In case of a long-time storage keep the harness either in the backpack or loose, in a well ventilated room, away from

the sun. Unfortunately some discoloration of the harness' parts is unavoidable over time and this is yet another reason

for not exposing it to the sun more than necessary.

Periodic control of the harness condition will keep it in safe operation for a long time. After each hard landing check

the back impact pad too, as the seams or zip quite often get ripped on absorbing impact and damaged impact pad will

be ineffective. If you notice damage to its cover, send it back to the producer for a repair or buy a new one.

Correspondingly, after each use of rescue chute thoroughly check entire harness for damages, paying particular

attention to the straps and seams.

Aluminium carabiners should be replaced each 5 years or 300 hours airtime. Scratched or damaged carabiners are not

serviceable anymore and have to be replaced at once.

Using damaged harness is out of the question. In case of any doubts please contact your dealer or manufacturer

and/or send it to an authorised workshop for closer inspection.
