If necessary, control the surging forward of the canopy by gently braking when the glid-
er is in front of you. Do not brake too hard as you may cause the wing to enter a full
stall in this way, and let the brakes back up as soon as the surge has stopped.
> maintenance
When folding the glider, we recommend to put reinforcements one above each other in order
to avoid that they might suffer any kind of deformation.
Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemical agents, UV light and high tempera-
ture. If the canopy has been packed wet it is necessary to reopen it and let it dry before pack-
ing away for a sustained period. Keep the canopy and lines clean, as dirt may penetrate into
the fibres and damage them.
Clean the paraglider only with fresh water and a soft sponge. If you are unfortunate to land
in the sea and survive! Hose/soak the glider with fresh water and dry completely. Absolutely
avoid contact with chemical agents like oil, petrol, solvent and similar, which can damage the
fabric and its surface covering.
We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by
Windtech
or the
distributor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines, cloth and
stitching.
Every 150hrs. or once a year, which ever comes first, change all bottom lines. This is very
important to maintain the flying and safety characteristics of the wing. The rest of the lines
must also be checked and if they have deteriorated then they need to be changed. Test some
of the lines that are not changed for minimum 40% of the rated strength. If the line fails you
should replace them all before using your glider.
Small tears in the sail can be repaired by using adhesive spinnaker cloth, which we supply
with every new glider. If you need more of this material, you can buy it from some yatch
chandlers, sail repair centres, and some other such places. Large tears, any sewing or struc-
tural repairs, or tears along seam lines or line attachment points, of the paraglider must be
carried out only by the manufacturer or authorised service centres.
