when packed in a bag, it should not remain in the sun for long.
Suspension lines consist of Technora inner core and polyester sheath.
Submitting them to excessive loads in flight should be avoided, as it can
cause irreversible damage.
Keep the paraglider clean, since getting dust in the lines and fabric will
reduce their durability.
Be careful to keep snow, sand or stones from entering the cell openings:
their weight can slow or even stall the glider, and sharp edges can damage
the cloth.
Prevent lines from catching anything, as they can overstretch or tear. Do not
step on the lines.
Uncontrolled strong wind takeoffs or landings can result in the leading edge
of the canopy hitting the ground hard, which may seriously damage the ribs,
sewing and surface material.
Knots can chafe suspension and/or brake lines.
Check line lengths after tree or water landings, as they can stretch or shrink.
A line plan is included in this manual or may be obtained from the dealer
when needed. After landing in water you should check the wing fabric as
well, since the wave forces can cause the fabric to distort in some areas.
When taking the wing out of the water, always do this by trailing edge, so
that water can flow out freely. After a sea landing, rinse the paraglider with
fresh water. Since salt crystals can weaken the suspension lines even after
rinsing in fresh water, you should replace the lines with new ones
immediately after contact with salt water.
Every second year Nucleon Cabrio should undergo technical
inspection by the manufacturer or authorised distributor.
