The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed. If they become 
dirty, clean them with a soft damp cloth, using only water. Do not use 
detergents or other chemicals.

If your wing is wet from contact with water, place it in a dry area, air it 
and keep it away from direct sunlight.

Direct sunlight may damage the wing’s materials and cause premature 
aging. After landing, do not leave the wing exposed to the sun. Pack it 
properly and stow it away in its backpack. 

If your wing is wet from contact with salt water, immerse it in fresh water 
and dry it away from direct sunlight.

7.2 STORAGE

It is important for the wing to be correctly folded when stored. Keep it in 
the in a cool, dry place away from solvents, fuels, oils.

Weight should not be laid on top of the equipment.

It is very important to pack the wing correctly before storage.

It is essential that the wing is properly folded and packed. In case

the ground. Humidity and heating can have an adverse effect on the 
equipment.
