> introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Windtech “Wind-SOS” emergency system. The advanced design of this emergency parachute allow us to achieve an extremely fast opening time, combined with a smooth and stable decent rate which are the two most important factors in a reserve system. We have selected the best materials available in the market and developed several innovative solutions in order to improve both performance and longevity of this emergency parachute.
> warning & liability This reserve parachute is an emergency system designed to be used as a last chance to reduce the speed of decent in the event of an emergency during flight. It must be obviously used and controlled by pilots who fully understand the abilities and the limits both of the glider and of the reserve parachute. The manufacturer and the seller disclaim any liability of the use or misuse of this product, which can result in serious personal injury or death.
> folding instructions The folding of the parachute is critical because from a correct folding depends the efficiency of opening when necessary. Stretch the parachute completely by holding the lines in each end, the apex and the leading edge. Tidy up each gore, one by one until reaching twice gore number 1. Pass to the other side half of the number of gores of the parachute (16, 18 or 20), one by one, and then lie down and pass back again those gores until you reach gore number 1.
Open in the centre of the canopy gore number 1. Separate and untangle both line groups, left and right from the central line. Pull the central line and help the canopy to enter into himself in the apex side until all the lines, including the central one, are stretched. Fold the corners of the canopy, then both sides into the centre and in the last fold open inside gore number 1.
Fold the parachute like an accordion with each fold roughly corresponding to the internal bag size. The last fold should be to the inside. Put the canopy in the internal bag and close it with the hand strap temporarily. Fold the lines in two figure of eight shape sections to the size of the internal bag and approximately of the line lenght. Put a rubber band over each end of line section and finely close the internal bag with a line loop.
