MAINTENANCE & CHECKS
1) Advice on Maintenance
The life of your paraglider depends largely on the care with which you
maintain and use it. To maximize the life span of your wing, respect the
following rules: To maximize life span of your wing, respect following rules.
Avoid dropping the canoppy on its top surface or on its leading edge
during infl ation or landing.
Don‘t drag it across the ground when moving it.
Don‘t expose it unnecessarily to sunlight.
Choose a folding technique that doesn‘t damage the leading edge strips
and that doesn‘t crease the internal structure excessively. To maximize
the life of your glider we do not recommend the use of stuff sacks: the
abrasion of the material will decrease the life expectancy of the fabric
– in particular its internal structure.
Always use the protective bag to avoid direct contact with the harnesses
and buckles, and unwanted frictions inside the rucksack.
Never store your paraglider when it is damp. If immersed in sea water,
rinse it thoroughly in fresh water. Do not use any detergents.
Dry your paraglider away from direct light in a dry and well-aired place.
Empty any foreign bodies from your paraglider regularly, for example
sand, stones or animal or vegetable matter which may eventually decay.
Twigs, sand, pebbles, etc ... damage tissue in successive folds, and
organic debris of vegetable or animal origin (insects) can promote mold
growth.
2) Checkups
The paraglider has undergone a series of tests during the production
process and consequent fl ight tests before the delivery. It is delivered with
a standard brake setting, the same as the one used during the testing.
Periodic Checks & Repairs:
For safety reasons it is recommended that the paraglider be checked at
least once a year, or after 100 fl ights and anytime there is a change in its
behaviour. The check must be done by the manufacturer or an authorized
representative. Before sending the paraglider for an inspection, contact your
importer or your dealer. Have your wing additionally checked if you notice
damages or a change in fl ight behaviour.
3) Guarantee
ARGOS is guaranteed for two years against any production fault since the
date of purchase.
The guarantee does not cover:
