7.2 STORAGE

It is important for the wing to be correctly folded when stored. Keep it in 
the in a cool, dry place away from solvents, fuels, oils.

Do not leave the gear inside a car boot, as cars left in the sun can 
become very hot. A rucksack can reach temperatures up to 60ºC.

Weight should not be laid on top of the equipment.

It is very important to pack the wing correctly before storage.

It is essential that the wing is properly folded and packed. In case 
of long-term storage it is advisable, if possible, that the wing is not 
compressed and it should be stored loosely without direct contact with 
the ground. Humidity and heating can have an adverse effect on the 
equipment.

7.3 CHECKS AND INSPECTION

A complete inspection must be scheduled every 100 flying hours or every 
24 months, whichever comes first (EN/LTF norm).

We strongly recommend that any repairs should be done in a specialist 
repair shop by qualified personnel. A thorough pre-flight check must be 
performed before every flight.

7.4 REPAIRS

If the case of small tears, you can temporarily repair these by using the 
Ripstop tape included in the repair kit, as long as no stitching is required 
to mend the fabric.  Any repair should be done in a specialist repair shop 
by qualified personnel. 
Damaged lines must be repaired or exchanged immediately.  Please refer 
to the line plan at the end of this manual.

Any repair should be done in a specialist repair shop by qualified 
personnel. Niviuk can not be held responsible for any damage caused by 
incorrect repairs.
