If there is sand, dirt or small stones inside the canopy, you should remove them because they will damage the coating of the cloth

and the seams in the long run.

Repair

Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer or by authorized companies. If you have any questions, please contact PHI

directly: ([email protected])
Exceptions are the replacement of lines as well as the repair of small tears (up to 5 cm, which do not affect seams) or holes in the

cloth, which can be repaired with the original PHI repair set. A small set of sticking cloth is supplied with the wing.

Check

The general check interval is two years, unless the checker sets the check interval to a shorter time because of a heavily used

wing.

Commercially used equipment (school gliders, tandems) must always be checked every year. This is also recommended for

gliders under heavy load, e.g. with more than 150 flight hours in two years, or with regularly flown acro maneuvers. We also

recommend an annual check if there is a lot of flying in terrain that puts a plenty of strain on the material: in rocky areas, in salty

air, or especially a er salt water contact.

In these cases it is even more than usual for the pilot to regularly check his glider for damage.

Each check must be confirmed by the check-stamp. In case of non-compliance, the quality seal expires. For further information on

the maintenance check, see the check-in instructions on the PHI homepage (http://www.phi-air.com): Downloads: Check.

This is constantly updated according to the state of the art, experience and knowledge.

Registration, warranty

In order to be able to use all service and warranty, you must register your paraglider on our homepage under

Environment friendly behaviour

Finally, we would like to call on you to operate our sport as nature and landscape friendly as possible. In addition to self-evident

things, such as not to leave garbage, you should also avoid scaring animals by flying too close. Especially in the cold season, this

stress can be life-threatening for animals.

Disposal

The plastic materials used in a paraglider require proper disposal. Please return your used wing to PHI: it will be disassembled

and disposed of by us.
