SAFETY ADVICE
The Beamer 2 is designed to be used as a paragliding reserve parachute. It cannot be used when jumping out of an aircraft!
The Beamer 2 reserve parachute complies with European construction specifications given in the checking guidelines 2.DV LuftGerPV 1, No.7c/Conformity tests according to EN 12491:2001. The use of this reserve parachute is at the owners (users) own risk. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for personal or material damage resulting from the usage of this reserve parachute.
It is mandatory to pay close attention to the correct installation of the reserve into the harness. The compatibility of the reserve parachute with the given harness has to be checked by a trained specialist. This reserve will only work and contribute to the pilots safety if installed and packed correctly.

INTENDED PURPOSE
This reserve parachute is intended to be used in combination with a single seat paraglider and has to be deployed manually in case of an emergency.
OPERATING LIMITS
Maximum usage speed: 115 km/h (32 m/s)
Packing interval: 12 months, thereafter repacking is necessary and must be recorded in the packing document. Re‐inspection interval: We recommend that the reserve should be inspected every 24 months. The re‐inspection must be recorded in the packing document. Certified duration of operation: 12 years with a bi‐annual inspection and up to 14 years with annual re‐inspections.
4
Attention: The life expectancy depends on how you use and handle your Beamer 2 reserve. (Acro, test openings etc. can considerably reduce its lifespan).
NECESSARY EQUIPMENT DOCUMENTS
• Owner’s manual • Packing ‐ and Inspection proof document
USE OF THE RESERVE PARACHUTE
To open the reserve parachute in emergency situations pull the reserve handle with a powerful jolt. By doing so, the outer container opens and releases the reserve parachute which is still packed in the inner container. Next, throw the handle and inner bag containing the parachute into the air. The reserve handle is thrown away with the inner container!
The inner container is constructed such that the suspension lines deploy first and the canopy second. This prevents the parachute from opening prematurely (before achieving maximum line stretch).
This minimises the risk of the reserve parachute getting tangled up with the paraglider or the pilot in an emergency situation (e.g. collision with other pilots etc.). The faster the reserve is thrown, the quicker it will reach line stretch and open.
After being thrown, the inner container opens immediately. The powerful throw and/or the air flow stretches the suspension lines and opens the canopy.
When the parachute has completely opened, the pilot should check his/her altitude. With sufficient altitude, disable the main paraglider by pulling the risers/lines or trying reeling in the canopy to avoid down planning (opposing canopies). If there is not sufficient altitude, the pilot should keep his/ her attention on the ground and prepare for impact.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The Beamer 2 reserve parachute was designed for high loading and extreme operational demands. Accordingly, only highly durable materials, proven over many years were chosen. However, the service life depends to a great extent upon the care of the owner. We recommend regular examination for wear and tear and immediate repair of damaged components by High Adventure or an authorised service centres.
Special attention should be paid to the following points:
• The reserve should not be unnecessarily exposed to the sun (ultraviolet rays). • A damp or wet reserve should be completely unpacked & dried at room temperature or outside in
the shade. • Do not expose the packed reserve to large changes in temperature. Provide sufficient air
circulation to avoid condensation. • Handle with care when handling on the ground after a deployment during safety training/SIV. • Only clean the reserve with fresh water, and a neutral soap if necessary. Do not use solvents.
Warning: Mechanical influences, chemicals, cleaning agents, insects, mildew etc. can reduce the strength of the reserve.
5
STORAGE
Oils, fats, acids and paints must not be stored in the immediate vicinity of the reserve. Store in a well‐ventilated and dry room. Store unpacked if not used for longer periods.
PACKING & INSPECTION INTERVALS
In order to guarantee a reliable and quick opening at any time, the reserve parachute must be unpacked, aired and repacked every 6 months according to current packing instructions. Immediate repacking is necessary if the reserve has been exposed to moisture, dampness or extreme heat.
If the reserve has been subject to an emergency deployment, or a deployment during safety training, it must be re‐inspected by the manufacturer or by an authorised service centre. Likewise the reserve must be thoroughly inspected by trained personnel in case of high or asymmetrical loading (e.g. landing in a tree).
IN CASE OF DAMAGE
Should the reserve experience any damage or if you cannot clearly decide about its airworthiness, the reserve must be sent to High Adventure AG to be repaired. Repairs must be undertaken only by the authorised service centres!
REPAIRS
Repairs of reserve parachutes must never be done by unauthorised personnel. The various seams and lines have been manufactured with the utmost precision. Therefore only the manufacturer or authorised service centres should do repairs using original materials. Acids and mildew can influence the strength of the reserve. Reserve parachutes exhibit sustaining such damage must be returned to the manufacturer for re‐inspection and repair.
RESERVE PARACHUTE CHECK, ATTACHMENT TO THE HARNESS AND PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Before packing, the reserve should be visually inspected. The reserve must then be aired out for at least 24 hours. The humidity level should be adjusted to 60 – 65 %. Packing should best be carried out on a packing table. The surface should be clean and static free.
Necessary equipment:
• Line separator. • Packing weight. • Special rubber bands must be replaced every time the reserve is repacked (these are available through
High Adventure) • Packing tools and equipment to insert the reserve into the reserve container of a harness.
The reserve should only be packed by certified personal.
Attachment to the harness
The Beamer 2 can either be installed into a front‐ or an integrated reserve‐container.

Authorized inspection personnel should confirm that a compatibility test has been carried out and should make a record verifying the compatibility in the packing and inspection document.
PRE‐FLIGHT CHECK
In addition to the normal pre‐flight check (see instruction manual for paraglider, harness, tow release etc.), the correct attachment of the reserve parachute and the deployment handle should also be checked prior to every flight. If the reserve bridle line is disengaged after every flight (as with front container systems), then the pre‐flight check must also include checking the correct attachment of the bridle line!
