G. Maintenance & checks
1. Advice on maintenance
The life of your paraglider depends largely on the care with which you maintain and use it.
Avoid dropping it on its top surface or on its leading edge during inflation or landing.
Don’t drag it across the ground when moving it.
Don’t expose it unnecessarily to sunlight.
Choose a technique that doesn’t damage the stiffeners and that doesn’t crease the internal
structure excessively. To maximise the life of your glider we do not recommend the use of stuff
sacks: the abrasion of the material will decrease the life expectancy of the fabric – in particular
its internal structure.
Always use the inner bag to avoid any direct contact with the metalwork on the harness and
the rucksack.
Never store your paraglider when it is damp. If immersed in sea water then rinse in fresh
water. Do not use any detergents. Dry your paraglider away from direct light in a dry and
well-aired place.
Empty any foreign bodies from your paraglider regularly, for example sand, stones or animal
or vegetable matter which may eventually decay.
