Paraglider
Cleaning
Clean the paraglider only with a soft sponge and clean water.
Harsh chemical substances, high-pressure cleaners or steamers will destroy the surface layer.
Clean the paraglider only if it is absolutely necessary.
Repairs
Repairs should only be carried out by the factory or a specialist recommended by the manufacturer.
You can repair small tears in the wing yourself using the material recommended by the manufacturer,
as long as they are in areas which do not bear heavy loads and they are not bigger than 3 cm.
WARNING!
Always replace lines that are damaged with only original parts or parts that have been
authorised by the manufacturer.
Paraglider inspections
General
Failure to observe the inspection periods will invalidate the warranty and certification.
A properly completed logbook will help you to comply with the periods.
Inspection periods
The SWING “Powerplay STING 140” glider must be inspected as follows:
- Gliders used by schools and commercially used gliders must be inspected (as for the 2-yearly check)
every 12 months from the purchase date.
- Gliders for personal use (not used commercially) must be inspected at least every 2 years from the
purchase date.
- The paraglider must be inspected after 150 hours of use (including ground handling) if this occurs
prior to the periods of 1 year or 2 years as above.
CAUTION
: Ground handling time must be at least doubled when working out the total hours of use
because of the increased wear and tear on the glider.
Inspection validity
All inspections must be carried out by Fly Products, by SWING, or another inspection agent authorised
by Fly Products. The documentation and the result of the inspection must be clearly identif
i
able by the
inspector (date and place / name of inspector) and be entered near the glider information/certification
sticker.
