WARNINGLike any extreme sport, paragliding involves unpredictable risks which may lead to injury or death. By

choosing to fly, you assume the sole responsibility for those risks. You can minimize the risks by having the

appropriate attitude, training and experience and by properly understanding, using and maintaining your

equipment. Always seek to expand your knowledge and to develop self-reliance. If there is anything you do

not understand, consult with your local dealer as a first point of contact, with the GIN importer in your

country or with Gin Gliders directly.

Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that can occur while paragliding, this

manual makes no representation about the safe use of the paragliding equipment under all conditions.

Neither Gin Gliders nor the seller of GIN equipment can guarantee, or be held responsible for, the safety of

yourself or anyone else.

Many countries have specific regulations or laws regarding paragliding activity. It’s your responsibility to

know and observe the regulations of the region where you fly.

INTENDED USE: Lightweight air sports

equipment with a maximum mass of less

than 120kg, operated in the paragliding

division.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRSMaintenance

The materials used in the Heated gloves have been carefully selected for maximum durability. Nevertheless,

keep your gloves clean and airworthy to ensure the longest possible life time.

Care and maintenanceDon’t drag your gloves over rough or rocky ground. Avoid unnecessary exposure to UV rays, heat and

humidity. Keep the gloves safe in the case when not in use.

Store all your equipment in a cool, dry place, and never put it away while damp or wet.

Inspection checklistCheck the heating system works before exposing yourself to extreme cold conditions.

Maintenance

Charge near water or submerge in water

Use charger for any other application

Expose batteries to open flames or other heat sources

Store in extreme hot / cold or excessive dryness/humidity

Use when ambient temperatures are above 90ªF

Use if heating elements are exposed or batteries have been damaged

Use if wires are frayed/cut

Replace or interfere with electrical components in gloves, batteries, controller, or

charger

Let batteries sit uncharged for an extended period. It’s like a car battery: if you let

it sit for a few months, chances are your car will not start

FINAL WORDS...Maintenance

Most of us today live in a dependent society where we are regulated and protected. There are few

opportunities for individuals to develop the self-responsibility that is the foundation of safety in extreme

sports such as paragliding.

Most accidents are caused by getting into situations that are too demanding for your level of experience.

This happens if you lack fundamental understanding, are incapable of assessing the risk or simply do not pay

su�cient attention to your surroundings or your own state of mind.

To stay safe, the best you can do is to increase your understanding, skill and experience at a rate you can

manage safely. There is no substitute for self-responsibility and good judgment.

In the end, paragliding o�ers a unique opportunity to learn to take control of your own destiny. Memento

mori, carpe diem!

Fly safely, and...ENJOY!
