Packing:
When a compact package is needed pack your Charger 2 accordion-wise rib on rib, nose
wire on nose wire, so that the plastic rods in the ribs at the leading edge lie as flat as
possible on one another, all at the same height. This will prolong your paraglider life and
keep its fast and excellent filling qualities at takeoff. Only pack and store a dry paraglider,
and avoid unnecessary compressing and tight packing. Otherwise store your powered
glider loosely in delivered Mac Pack (quickly-bag).
Storage:

Store the paramotoring glider in a dry space at ambient temperature away from
chemicals and UV light.

Never pack or store the glider wet. This shortens the life of the cloth. Always dry glider
thoroughly before any packing or storage.

Avoid subjecting your wing to high temperatures (e.g. the luggage space of a parked
car in the sun)! Take into consideration some materials of your paramotoring glider are
temperature sensitive.

Watch out for bugs. Insects such as grass-hoppers and ants will simply eat their way
out if rolled up with the wing. Grazing cattle can literally lick the coatings off the fabric
and mice love to make homes in canopies! Hang up your wing in its bag off the ground
during long term storage.
When sending your wing in the mail take extra care packaging it.
Repairs and checks:

Tears in the canopy must be professionally sewn. Adhesive patches are only
adequate for very minor damage. Contact your dealer or MAC PARA directly if you are
unsure.

Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer, distributor or authorized
workshops. Only original spare parts may be used!

The line geometry must be checked after every 50 hours flying time or whenever the
flight behaviour changes.

Any changes to the canopy lines or risers, except those approved by the
manufacturer, will void the certificate of airworthiness and warranty.

A new MAC PARA paraglider must be given a check every 24 months. With intensive
use (> 100 flying hours per year, or excessively demanding use) an annual check is
needed, after the first check.
