template, if there are the divergences. Have any discovered defects repaired. Replace
broken details using the spares, if the repair is impossible. Go to the manufacturer or
our dealers, if there are no necessary spares.
5.3. MAINTENANCE
With correct maintenance your glider will be in a good condition for many years.
We recommend that do you not expose your glider to any more solar radiation
than necessary, do not leave it set up for long periods of time in the sun when you are
not flying it.
Do not leave your glider on the control bar for a long time when the wind is strong. It
will decrease the life of your sail.
After raining or any time your glider gets wet you should dry it thoroughly.
Your sail should never be washed in anything other than fresh water, as any soap or
detergent will likely degrade the cloth and may adversely affect the flight
characteristics.
If you set up or break down your glider take care not to allow sand, soil and dirt to
enter your sail, batten pockets or tubes. Keep thoroughly clean the telescopic
connectors, as their dirtying will make the set up or break down difficult or impossible.
Swab the tubes with a rag.
5.4. STORAGE
You must store the glider in the bag in a dry room on soft bedding. You may store
frame without sail in a 2 metres bag vertically. Before storage dry the sail.
Frame of the glider must not be under load during storage, tubes must not be bent
under their own weight.

5.5. TRANSPORTATION

glider without the bag.
