edge and one at the leech, but with some practice you will be able to perform
this task easily by yourself.
> Fold over the gathered cloth from the bottom up, pressing the air out as you go fold
the complete cell over once towards the middle>repeat the same packing method
on the other glider half.
> Now lay both sides on top of one another and make sure that the leading edge rein-
forcements lay neatly on top of one another.
> Fold the cells from the bottom in the direction of the leading edge, the first fold
should have approximately the length from hand to elbow.
> The leading edge can be folded inward once from the upper end, but this is not to-
tally necessary. However, any air remaining inside the glider should be pressed out
through the leading edge, and not through the material.l
> Now place the compression band around the glider across the leading edge
> Place the entire glider into the inner pack sack. This protects the glider from being-
damaged by the zipper or other objects.
> Open the pack sack and lay the glider inside. The soft material here provides for-
good carrying comfort for your lower back.
> Now lay the harness with the seat board upwards onto the glider in the pack sackand
(in most cases), close with the zipper. The top of the packsack offers enough space
for helmet, overall, instruments, etc.
StORAGE:
Store your paraglider in a dry location, protected from light and away from chemicals!
Dampness is the natural enemy of all paragliders. Therefore, always make sure your
paragliding equipment is dry before packing it away. A heated room is best for this pur-
pose.
CLEANING:
Rubbing and cleaning leads to faster deterioration of your paraglider. The PU-coated
sail cloth of the skywalk TONKA is maximally 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 flammable products
.
REPAIR:
All repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer or by an authorised skywalk
