G. Maintenance & checks
1. Advice on maintenance
The lifespan of your paraglider largely depends on the care with which you maintain and use it.
Avoid ruggedly dropping the leading edge onto the surface. Avoid friction of all kinds, don´t
drag your wing across the ground.
Don´t expose your wing to sunlight unnecessarily.
Choose a folding technique preserving Mylar-stiffeners and inner structure (profile and diagonal
ribs). We do not recommend the use of stuff sacks.
Always use the inner glider bag to avoid friction between the glider and rucksack or harness.
Never store your glider when it is wet or damp.
If immersed in sea water rinse with fresh water. Never use detergents or solvents – pure
freshwater is sufficient.
Dry your wing in a slightly windy place in the shade.
Empty your wing regularly. Sand, grass and rocks damage stitching and cloth.
Insects and organic matters may cause holes or mildew.
