All descending maneuvers should be practiced in calm air with enough safety height, so that
you are able to control it perfectly in cases of emergency!
For all extreme flight and fast descending maneuvers it’s important that you:
-Train it first under instruction of a flying instructor or during a safety course.
-Make sure that the air space under you is free before and while you are doing the flying
maneuver.
-Have a look on the canopy during the maneuver and also look on the distance to the
ground.
16. Care, Storage, Repairs and Disposal
Your safety in the air depends on the condition of your paraglider. A maintained and
properly used paraglider will last a long time. In order to maintain your STRIKER’s condition
for a long time we would like to give you the following advice:
16.1. Care
In time the UV rays will damage the material of the paraglider. Therefore don’t leave the
STRIKER out in the sun unnecessarily. Take care that the paraglider will not get dirty while
laying it out. The dirt particles can damage the material.
The line length should be checked after landing in a tree or in water.
Don’t pull around your glider while it is lying on the ground. This could damage the coating
of the fabric.
Wetness damages the coating of the fabric and can reduce its lifespan.
If the lines draggle on the ground while staring the glider, they can be stretched or can tear
off.
Don’t step on the lines!
Put the cloth bag that comes with the glider underneath it when folding it up to ensure that
the material of the glider is not damaged.
Curl up the lines as little as possible with no sharp wrinkles.
If the glider gets contact with salt water clean it immediately with fresh water!
Insects in the cells should be removed alive, not just only for animal care reasons, but the
insect secretion is acid and can damage the fabric.
Clean your paraglider only with clean water and do not use brushes or hard rubbing. Chemi-
cal detergents will damage the fabric and the lines.
16.2. Storage
The glider must always be stored in dry condition. If the glider should have got wet, you
have to spread it out to dry it as soon as possible. (But do not lay it in the direct sunlight).
Do not store your paraglide near chemical fumes of gases.
Avoid unnecessary high temperatures during storage or during transport (especially in
cars).
16.3. Repair
Small cuts in the material, if they are not along the seams, can be mended provisionally
with special self-sticky repair-tape which you get at paragliding specialized stores.
All other kinds of damages, like large cuts, cuts along the seam, ripped line loops, torn or
damaged lines must only be repaired by an authorized dealer or the manufacturer. Use only
original spare-parts!
Every alteration of the glider, unless authorized by the manufacturer, causes the
termination of the glider’s authorization.
Attention:
The inspection and maintenance is done according to our handbook of
