ServIce
When performing proper care and service, your skywalk SCOTCH.HY will remain in
good flying condition over many years.
A well maintained paragliding wing will have double the flight time over wings which are
just shoved into your Packsack.
Don’t forget your life is hanging on this wing.
Storage
Store your skywalk wing in a dry, and light protected enviornment and not around
chemicals. Moisture is your wings worse enemy, so before you repack your wing, make
sure it is dry, for instance, by hanging it up in a heated room.
cleaning
Every form of rubbing on the material or washing will quickly age your wing.
The PU imprägnated cloth material of your skywalk SCOTCH.HY is designed to resist
getting dirty.
In the event that you have the feeling that your wing needs to be cleaned in some
spots, then just use a soft, water moist cloth or sponge without soap or other wash
powder or fluids. Don’t use any hard cleaning solutions, as these may attack and dama-
ge the materials.
repair
Repairs may only be performed by authorized skywalk service centers.
Material handling in normal retail use
The skywalk SCOTCH.HY is made mainly of Nylon materials, which are subject to
negative influences of UV rays causing material break down and loss porosity.
Avoid strong light situations by only taking out your wing at the last minute to start,
and upon landing, immediately repack your wing away from the strong rays of the sun.
line repair
The line system of the skywalk SCOTCH.HY is made of a Technora or Dyneema Core
with a polyester outer covering .
Excessive stress, over weight, or strain on the materials is to be avoided, as this could
lead to an irreversible stretching of the lines.
