Pilot’s manual BiGolden2 Version no. 1, from 27.4.2009
•
Don't tie any unnecessary knots in the lines. A packing method where special
knots are made in the lines as used on parachutes and reserve parachutes
aren't suitable for packing the lines used on paragliders.
•
Protect your canopy and lines from unnecessary exposure to sunlight. UV-rays
can damage many parts of a paraglider.
•
Try not to pack your glider when wet. If there's no other way then dry it as
soon as possible but away from direct sunlight.
•
Don't let your glider come into contact with sea water. If it does, rinse (the
lines, canopy and risers) with fresh water and dry before storing.
•
After flight or when storing, always use the inner protection sack.
•
When storing or during transport make sure your glider isn't exposed to
temperatures higher than 50 degrees Celsius.
•
Never let the glider come into contact with chemicals. Clean the paraglider
with clean lukewarm water only.
•
For long-term storage don't pack the glider too tightly and store it in a cold, dry
and well-ventilated room.
•
After tree- or water landings always examine the glider carefully. If you
suspect that the flight features of your paraglider have changed, contact the
nearest authorised GRADIENT supplier as soon as possible.
•
After 200 flying hours or after 2 years at the latest your BiGolden2 must be
thoroughly checked and tested by the manufacturer.
