Delivery

Every ADVANCE paraglider has to be flown by the dealer before delivery to check for correct settings and trim. The dealer finally enters the date of the first flight on the type placard fastened on a rib at the centre of the wing. This entry confirms that defects in the product that can be attributed to manufacturing faults are covered by the ADVANCE warranty.  Register your new ADVANCE product in your MyADVANCE account no later than 10 days after purchase to benefit from the extended ADVANCE warranty. More information under "Warranty".

Scope of delivery

The delivery of the ALPHA DLS includes a COMPRESSBAG DLS, a repair kit, a mini-windsock and a «Getting Started» booklet.


Basic settings

At delivery the basic set-up of the ALPHA DLS will be the trim settings that the ADVANCE test team found to be best. Certification was also gained in this condition. Any alterations or changes to the paraglider, such as altering the line lengths or fitting different risers or quicklinks, will result in a loss of the glider’s certification.

WarningDo not modify your glider – it will no longer be certified.

Adjusting the brake lines

Leave the ALPHA DLS in its factory settings. The brake line lengths have been set for optimal handling, as established by our test team. The free travel of the brake lines makes sure that the trailing edge remains unbraked during takeoff, in fully accelerated flight.

WarningThe brake lines can shorten after some time.
InfoWe recommend a bowline knot for attaching the handles.
