Packing
Pack your BIBETA 6 rib on rib, so that the plastic rods in the leading
edge lie flat on each other at the same height . This will maintain the
long life of the BIBETA 6 and keep its good inflation and takeoff qua-
lities . Avoid excessive wear on the centre lane by routinely changing
the position of the final fold when packing up . Store your glider in a dry
and dark place .
Care and maintenance
Ultraviolet light, heat, humidity, sea water, aggressive cleaning agents,
unsuitable storing and physical abuse ( dragging across the ground )
speed up the ageing process .
The life of a paraglider can be extended significantly by observing the
following advice:
§
Allow a wet or damp glider to dry by leaving it completely unpacked
at room temperature, or outside in the shade .
§
If the glider gets wet with salt ( sea ) water rinse it thoroughly with
fresh water .
§
Clean the glider only with fresh water, and a little neutral soap if nec-
essary . Do not use solvents under any circumstances .
§
Regularly remove sand, leaves, stones and snow from the cells .
Openings with Velcro closures are provided at the wing tips for this
purpose
§
If the glider has been subjected to increased stress ( such as a tree
landing ) have it examined by an expert .
§
Do not leave the glider out in the sun unnecessarily before and after
flight ( UV light ) .
§
Do not subject the packed glider to excessive temperature fluctua-
tions, and do ensure adequate air circulation to prevent condensa-
tion forming .
§
Do not drag the glider across the ground .
§
When landing, make sure that the canopy does not fall on its leading
edge .
