U-Turn Thriller X3, Manual

Maintenance and Care 

Because U-Turn only uses high quality materials, your THRILLER X3 will be airworthy for 
many years if you take good care. Th

  e aging of your THRILLER X3 depends on the total fl ying 

time, the conditions you fl y in, the amount of UV radiation it is exposed to and the intensity 
and quality of care. A couple of tips for maintenance and care:

Long lasting exposure to UV radiation and normal use stress the material 

•  Don`t expose your glider to the sun when there is no need to 
•  Consider the choice of terrain where you lay out the glider for takeoff 
•  Assymmetrical and changing folding patterns prolong the lifetime of the material especially 

in the middle section 

Please take following points into consideration 

•  regular check for damage 
•  no unneccessary bending 
•  lines aft er overloads (tree landing, water landing, etc.) for its strength and correct length to 

be checked and exchanged if necessary 

•  in case of changing infl ight handling characteristics, the line have to be checked for their 

correct length

•  don`t tie the brakelines on the grips if not needed, it weakens the lines

To clean the canopy use warm water and a soft  sponge.
If you use a detergent for hard stains, make sure that you rinse intensively aft erwards. Never 
apply any chemicals for cleaning, the weaken the material and damage the coating. Store your 
glider at a dry and dark location away from any chemicals. Aft er two years or 300 fl ighhours, 
whichever occurs fi rst, your THRILLER X3 has to be inspected by the manufacturer, in case of 
extreme use we are glad to do that earlier. Only you know about the condition of your glider. 
Should there be a need for any repairs they are to be done by the manufacturer. 

Nature and environment friendly behaviour

We ask you to perform our sport in a manner, that impacts nature and environment with mi-
nimum intensity. Please do not walk beside marked paths, don`t leave any waste, please be not 
noisy and respect the sensitive biological equilibrium in the mountains. Especially at starting 
areas maximum care for nature is necessary.
Th

  e synthetic materials your U-Turn glider is build must be depolluted appropriately. Please 

send you U-Turn glider at the end of its life-cycle back to U-Turn. We will take care for recyc-
ling and removal.
