improper storage as well as mechanical stress (e.g. grinding on the ground) accelerate the aging process.

The life span of your harness can be extended considerably if you pay attention to the following points:

Allow wet or damp harness to dry completely at room temperature or outside in the shade. Repack the

reserve regularly.

Thoroughly rinse a harness that has been in contact with salt water with fresh water. Always repack the

reserve.

Clean the harness only with fresh water and neutral soap if necessary, never with solvents.

Check the main connection bridle between the harness and the reserve after every reserve deployment.

Have the harness checked by a qualified person after any very high loading (e.g. serious impact).

Inspect the harness regularly for defective seams and straps, especially the reserve connection and the

seams of the main carabiners.

Do not subject the harness to extremes of temperature and make sure it gets adequate ventilation, to

prevent condensation forming.

Do not expose the harness unnecessarily to the sun (UV radiation) before and after the flight.

Packing the reserve parachute

Most reserve parachute manufacturers recommend maintenance or repacking of the reserve parachute every 6

months to ensure reliable and quick opening at all times. If the reserve gets wet, damp or overheated, it must be

definitely repacked. We strongly recommend that you let a qualified person pack your reserve. ADVANCE also

strongly recommends that you regularly check the yellow locking cables in the locking loops of your harness. It is

sufficient to move the cables slightly.

7.2. Air-Foam Hybrid

The foam protector does not require any special care, but it should definitely be inspected for possible damage

after an impact. In case of damage to the outer shell, the protector must be replaced. If you are flying with the

Permanent Protector system, also check the sleeve of the protector element.

Inspect your harness regularly for damage and have it thoroughly visually inspected by a professional every 24

months. The inspection includes a visual assessment of the fabric, straps and connections, major stitching and main

carabiners. All parts are inspected for tears, kinks, pre-damaged seams, damage and severe wear. Detected damage

requires the harness to be professionally repaired before the next flight.

You can find more information about the check in the "Service" chapter of this manual or at www.advance.swiss.

EDELRID FORAS

Maximum 5 years

The carabiners are high quality EDELRID Foras Alu Carabiners (51 g, 23 kN). Aluminium carabiners must be

regularly visually inspected for metal discolourations, dents, obvious scratches or cracks. In addition you must be

careful that a carabiner is always loaded vertically – along its major axis. If a carabiner shows any of the above

visually evident conditions or has been incorrectly loaded, both carabiners must be replaced immediately. In any

case the carabiners must be replaced no later than 5 years after being put into service or first flight (if unknown, 5

years after production date), and may not be used again. The production date is printed on the carabiner.
