Motorised Flight
Care and Maintenance
Because of its unproblematic launch behaviour and its good
handling the MANX is also suited for the use of a motorized
harness.
Only use licensed engine-canopy-combinations and obey aviation
regulations.
For safe use of a paramotor, the appropriate training must have
been carried out. Information regarding this subject can be
obtained from any national paragliding association.
Only materials of the highest qualities were used for the MANX.
However, your paraglider will need proper care and maintenance
so that you can safely float through the air with lots of pleasure for
many years.
The MANX comes with an inner stuff sack which provides extra
protection from mechanical damage.
Never pack away your MANX when wet. If you cannot avoid
packing up when your MANX is wet you must spread the glider
in a well-ventilated area away from direct light as soon as
possible.
Do not let your glider be exposed to sunlight for an unnecessarily
long time at launch or landing site. The ultraviolet rays deteriorate
your canopy.
Try to avoid mechanical friction forces on the airfoil, such as in
rocky regions.
If your glider comes into contact with seawater, rinse out with
fresh water at the earliest possible occasion and spread it out to
dry.
Only use warm fresh water for cleaning the canopy, at the most a
mild soap, but never use any strong cleaners!
You can fix small tears in the middle of the airfoil with a sailcloth
repair kit (patch both sides).
Tears along the seams (relevant to strength) or larger damage to
the airfoil must be repaired only by a freeX authorized repair
station.
The lines and the canopy must be checked for damage at regular
intervals.
