CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For some countries the certification placard must be present on the glider. Every pilot
should be suitably qualified, have a valid license and carry 3rd party insurance.
The Blaze GT is delivered with a stuff-sack, Velcro compression strap, MACPARA
backpack, repair kit and user manual.
What to do if you break a line
Breaking a line or multiple lines on your glider is unfortunate but can be fixed. Most of
the time lines can be easily replaced with your glider being restored back to factory
settings within a short time. Depending on the extent of the damage, the line repair can
be done by you or a qualified professional MACPARA approved facility. Consult your
closest MACPARA dealer or MACPARA directly with the type of line you may need.
Identifying which line you require to replace the broken line can be found by laying out
your glider outside, looking at where the damage line is and referencing the line plan
guide near the end of this manual. The better you know what you need and how many,
the faster you will get help with the correct advice. Not all lines are made from the same
material or are the same thicknesses.
Damage to the Canopy
Paramotoring involves fast moving parts like a spinning propeller and hot engines.
Sometimes those parts come in contact with your glider and can quickly cause damage
to your glider. Do not fly your glider that has sustained any damage. Any damage to
your glider needs to be professionally repaired before your next flight.
ATTENTION: Do not risk your life by flying a damaged glider.
If the rip, tear or damage is small and you have consulted with your dealer first, then the
repair may be performed by yourself with proper adhesive repair cloth. To avoid
confusion, it is recommended to send detailed pictures to your MACPARA dealer or
MACPARA directly. Do not attempt to repair or fix the glider yourself without the proper
advice from a qualified professional. Failure to do so will void your warranty and put you
at risk.
