GIN Verso - Manual (Page 30)

The materials used in the Verso have been carefully selected for maximum durability.
Nevertheless, keep your harness clean and airworthy to ensure the longest possible period of safe
operation.
Care and maintenance
Don’t drag your harness over rough or rocky ground. Avoid unnecessary exposure to UV rays,
heat and humidity. Keep the folded harness in your rucksack when not in use.
Store all your equipment in a cool, dry place, and never put it away while damp or wet.
Regularly clean off dirt with a plastic bristled brush and/or a damp cloth. If the harness gets
exceptionally dirty, wash it with water and a mild soap. Make sure you first remove the entire
sub-components for example, rescue parachute etc. When you clean, don’t scrub the fabric inside
the Airbag with a brush (especially the back) since the fabric can be damaged by rubbing. Allow
the harness to dry naturally in a well ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If your rescue
parachute ever gets wet (e.g. in a water landing) you must separate it from the harness, dry it and
repack it before putting it back in its separate outer container. Occasionally lubricate the zips and
buckles with silicone spray, no more than once a year.
After a hard landing you must check your harness for damage, in particular the airbag. A tear
in the airbag may render it totally ineffective. In such cases, you must have the airbag repaired
properly before use.
