Nova PHILOU, Operator'S Manual

Page: 41 / 44

41
Uncontrolled strong wind takeoffs or landings can result in the leading
edge of the canopy hitting the ground at high speed which may cause
rips in the profile and damage the material.
The brake line can chafe if badly tangled.
Check line length after tree - or water landings. Clean the paraglider with
fresh water after contact with salt water.
A line plan is enclosed in this operators manual or may be requested
from the manufacturer or distributor.
Do not always fold the canopy symmetrically to the centre cell as this
can cause constant stress on the centre cell ( centre cell always to the
outside ).
An annual inspection of the NOVA PHILOU should be carried out by the
manufacturer or distributor.
The DHV requires a two yearly maintenance check. A DHV- stamp is
required to confirm the check, otherwise the Guetesiegel certification is
rendered invalid.
