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

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

taken a training course, and has the suitable ability and enough experience to safely fly
the ZENITH.

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

The ZENITH is a EN B glider that offers total security, along with beautiful handling &
incredible performance. The performance is very high due to a well-defined structure
with 61 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.
