This manual has been created to give the pilot help and hints for the correct operation of
this wing. By no means is this a substitute of a training course, or appropriate experien-
ce gained with years and hours of airtime, nor is this manual intended to give pilot´s kno-
wledge regarding flight safety.

Windtech

assumes that the purchasing pilot has the appropriate pilot's licence, has

taken a training course, and has the ability and experience to safely fly the PULSAR.

This manual cannot be used for operational purposes. The flight log & registration card
must be filled out completly and stamped by the dealer & returned to

Windtech

in order

to make a claim on the guarantee.

The use of this paraglider is entirely at the user's own risk. As with any adventure sport
paragliding is a high risk activity-especially without taking the appropriate precautions-
therefore it must be absolutely understood that

any responsibility for accidents, losses, injuries, direct or indirect damage following the
use or misuse of this product.

The PULSAR is a DHV 1-2 glider that offers total security with beautiful handling &
performance. The performance is very high due to a well-defined structure with 52 cells,
with an internal structure comprised of diagonals of different types, depending on the
width of the cell and an optimized line layout to reduce the overall number of lines.

--cloth

The upper and lower panels are made with 45 gr. Porcher
Marine Skytex nylon. The ribs are made with stronger
nylon of to prevent airofoil deformation, even after seve-
ral years of intensive use. Rib (cell wall) reinforcements
are made of Dacron 310 &180 gr. Line attachment points
are made of polyester.

--lines

The lines are made of Kevlar covered with polyester she-
ath for protection against wear, UV and abrasion. The
lower section of the brake lines is made from Dyneema.
This material is less prone to failure after repeated use
through the brake pulleys. The riser karabiners, also called
quick links, are made with stainless steel of 800 Dan.
Risers are made of pre-stretched polyester of 900 Dan.
