Cleaning
Any kind of wiping/scratching can damage the coating of the cloth.
We recommend for cleaning to use a soft cloth dampened only with
water and to use gentle movements little by little across the sur-
face.
Never use any detergent or chemical cleaners.
Wing Repairs
Amateur repairs can do more harm than good. Always let a regis-
tered dealer or the manufacturer carry out major glider repairs.
If you damage the sail:
If the rip is small however, you can fix it yourself. You’ll find all the
materials you need in the repair kit.
The Porcher Marine fabric can be mended simply with the sticky rip
stop/spinnaker tape.
When cutting out the patch remember to allow ample overlap around
the tear and round the corners of the patch.
You can find more information about repairing your wing on the Ozone
website, including step by step instructions with pictures.
If you damage a line:
Any line that is visually damaged in anyway MUST be replaced. It is
important that the replacement line is from the same material, has
the same strength and the same length. You can check its length
against its counterpart on the other side of the wing, to make sure
that it is symmetrical. Once the line has been replaced, inflate and
check the glider before flying. If you do not have access to an Ozone
dealer you can order individual lines at www.flyozone.com
MAINTENANCE CHECKS
The Mantra R10 like any aircraft needs to be checked regularly to
ensure proper airworthiness.
Your wing should be checked by a qualified professional for the first
time after 80 hrs or12 months, whichever comes sooner and there-
after annually. The checker should inform you about the condition of
your glider and whether or not any parts need to be re-checked or
changed before the next normal service check period.
The sail and the lines do not age in the same way: it will be neces-
sary to change the line set during your wings life. This is why it is
also important to do a regularly check up to know the condition of all
of the components of your glider. We recommend that the check up
is carried out by a qualified professional. The lines should be changed
after approximately 150hrs to ensure that they retain their strength
and correct lengths,
You are responsible for your flying kit and your safety depends on it.
Take care of your equipment and have it regularly inspected. Changes
in a wings flying behaviour, are also indicators of the gliders aging,
if you notice any changes you should have the wing checked before
flying again.
IMPORTANT: The line set must be replaced at the recom-
mended interval…150 hrs.
IMPORTANT: Take care of your glider and make sure you
have it checked according to the above schedule. This will
ensure you hours of safe flying.
