With proper maintenance, your skywalk POISON 2 will be in an airworthy condition for
several years. A well looked after paraglider lasts a lot longer than one which is packed
in its bag without care after use.
always remember: Your life depends on your
paraglider!
Furthermore, the POISON 2 is equipped with the new aerofabríx[AI] 29.
Please read the Tips and Tricks for Cloth Handling.
Storage:
Store your paraglider in a dry location, protected from light and away from chemicals!
Damp is a natural enemy for any paraglider. Therefore always make sure your paraglid-
ing equipment is dry before packing it away. Dry if necessary in a heated room.
cleaning:
Rubbing and cleaning leads to faster deterioration of your paraglider. The PU and
Aluminium-coated cloth of the skywalk POISON2 is highly soil-resistant. If you still think
that your paraglider needs to be cleaned, then use a soft and wet towel or sponge.
Don’t use any soap or detergents. Never use inflammable products.
repair:
All repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer or by an authorised skywalk-Serv-
ice-Centre. Amateur repairs can cause more harm than good.
Wear:
The skywalk POISON 2 mainly consists of Nylon fabric that loses strength and shows
an increase in porosity under the influence of UV-radiation. Only unfold the paraglider
shortly before starting and pack away immediately after landing to avoid any
unnecessary sun exposure.
line-repairs:
The lines of the skywalk POISON 2 consist of a Dyneema-core and a Polyester-cover.
Avoid heavy loads on single lines, as excessive stretch may be irreversible. The POI-
SON2 suspension lines are composed of a Dyneema-core with a Polyester sheathing
as well as unsheathed Technora Lines
Repeated folding or kinking of lines at the same spot reduces their strength even if
