Rev. 5
Particular attention should be paid to the following points:
• Do not expose the packed rescue system to large variations in temperature and
provide for sufficient air circulation to avoid the formation of condensate.
• Avoid unnnecessary exposure to the sun (UV radiation).
• Unpack the wet or damp canopy and let it dry at room temperature or outside in
a shady place.
• After salt water exposure, immediately rinse the canopy thoroughly with fresh
water.
• Clean all components only with fresh water and if needed using neutral soap;
never use chemicals containing solvents!

10. Storage

Oils, greases, acids and dyes must not be stored in close proximity to the rescue
system. Store in a well-ventilated, dry room. Rescue systems that are not used for a
long time should be stored unpacked.

11. Packing and inspection intervals

The rescue system must be aired and re-packed according to valid packing
instructions every twelve months to guarantee its reliable and fast opening at any
time. If the rescue system was exposed to wet conditions, moisture or extreme heat,
it must be re-packed immediately.
If the rescue system has been deployed in an emergency situation or during a safety
training, it has to be re-checked by the manufaturer or by an authorised service
centre. It must also be thoroughly inspected by a competent person after every larger
stress exposure (e.g. a tree landing).

12. What to do when damage is detected

When damage is detected during inspection, the rescue system must be sent in to
Kortel Design for repair. This also applies to damages whose effects on airworhiness
cannot be unambiguously determined. In either case, the manufacturer must be
involved in the repair process!

13. Repairs

Generally, repairs at emergency parachutes must never be carried out Grundsätzlich
dürfen Reparaturen an Rettungsschirmen nie selber ausgeführt werden. Repaired
seams can have significant influence on material strength. Damages must be assessed
in each individual case. Therefore, only the manufacturer or an authorised service
centre after consultation with the manufacturer may carry out repairs using original
materials. Manufacturer-approved repair instructions must be enclosed in the packing
and inspection record after the repair has been carried out and have to be handed on
as part of the rescue system in the case of relase.
