MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning should be carried out with water and if necessary, gentle soap. If the glider comes
in contact with salt water, clean thoroughly with fresh water.
Do not use solvents of any
kind , as this may remove the protective coatings and destroy the fabric.
8.1 BUTT HOLES (Velcro closure on trailing edge tip)
In order to empty sand and small stones from the glider simply shake the sand or small
stones into the wing tip and open the
Butt holes ( Velcro closure on trailing edge tip) to
empty. Do not forget to close the Butt holes afterwards.

STORAGE
When the glider is not in use, the glider should be stored in a cool, dry place. A wet glider
should first be dried (out of direct sunlight). Protect the glider against sunlight (UV radiation).
When on the hill keep the glider covered or in the bag. Never store or transport the glider
near paint, petrol or any other chemicals.
Do not leave your paraglider in the trunk of a car or exposed to the sun.
Temperatures on a hot summer’s day in a closed environment: car, etc. can easily reach
over 60ºC
At these temperatures Nylon permanently changes its characteristics which may alter the
behavior and shape of the wing.
It will cause permanent damage to the paraglider, rendering it non-
airworthy. APCO’s
warranty will not be applicable.
