Storage

Avoid packing your glider when it is wet. If there is no other way, then dry it as soon
as possible away from direct sunlight and heat. Be careful to avoid storing your
canopy when damp or wet: this is the most common reason for canopy degradation.

Do not let your glider come into contact with seawater. If it does, rinse the lines,
canopy and risers with fresh water and dry it away from direct sunlight before
storing.

After flight or when storing, always use the inner protection sack (or AirPack).

When storing or during transport make sure your glider is not exposed to very high
temperatures.

Never let the glider come into contact with chemicals.

For long-term storage, do not pack the glider too tight. Leave the rucksack zip open
when possible to allow any moisture to evaporate.
Transport:
Some materials used in the construction of the glider are sensitive to temperature. Therefore,
you should ensure that the glider is not exposed to excessive heat. For instance, do not leave
the glider in a car during hot summer days.
When packing to send by post, use appropriate packing material.
Cleaning:
For cleaning, only use a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use solvents, cleaners or abrasives.
