MAINTENANCE and CLEANING_
Since only high-quality materials are used at GRAVITY, the GRAVITY Xpressure will retain
undiminished airworthiness for several years if it is properly cared for and maintained. How
quickly your GRAVITY Xpressure ages, ultimately depends on how often it is flown, where it
is flown, how many UV-hours it accumulates and how carefully and regularly it is cared for.
Below
are
some
useful
tips
on
care
and
maintenance:
1)
Long-lasting UV-radiation and extreme acro manoeuvres reduce the resistance of each
paraglider cloth over time
2)
Never expose your GRAVITY Xpressure to unnecessary sunlight, but put it back in the
glider bag after the flight
3)
When choosing the take-off site, pay close attention to the surface on which the
paraglider is laid out
4)
Stacking the opening reinforcements properly increases the life-span of the paraglider
5)
Don't drag your paraglider over the ground and pack it on grass
6)
Please pay attention to the following:
a)
the lines are checked regularly for damage
b)
the lines are not nodded unnecessarily and you do not step on the lines when laying
them out
c)
check the strength and correct length of lines after overloading (tree landings, water
landings, etc.) and have them replaced if necessary
d)
when noticing changes in flight behaviour, all lines lengths must be checked.
e)
the brake stem line on the brake handle must not be knotted unnecessarily, every
knot weakens the line
The best way to clean the cap is to use warm, clean water and a soft sponge. Under no
circumstances should chemicals be used for cleaning, as these damage the coating and the
strength of the cloth. Always store your paraglider dry and protected from light, never near
chemicals. After 24 months or 150 operating hours at the latest, the GRAVITY Xpressure
must be brought to the manufacturer or GRAVITY Competence Centre for inspection. On
request, we would be happy to carry out the required inspection before, if you believe that
it is necessary.
