Pass the two risers through the rubber loop
and attach them with the carabiner loops to the
toggle button.
Carefully close the zipper, making sure you do
not pinch any lines or glider material. Attach the
first Packing Tube about a third of the way down
and fold the leading edge over the Packing Tube.
Make sure that the side of the Softbag with the
lettering is at the bottom.
Fix the second Packing Tube about two-thirds
of the way down and fold the end over the
Packing Tube.
Close the plastic clip.
Finally, use the compression bands to compress
the Softbag even more.
Tip:
For a particularly gentle storage, lay out
the Softbag lengthwise when not using the
paraglider.
11 PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully packing your paraglider guarantees a consistently high level of quality. Stick to
the packing instructions described here to protect the Rigid Foils and use the includ-
ed Packing Tubes to avoid unnecessary bending of the Rigid Foils. The supplied Softbag
simplifies the packing process.
Gather up your glider and place it on the Soft-
bag. At the bottom of the Softbag is a tog-
gle button where you can attach the risers later.
The trailing edge of the glider should lie in the
direction of the toggle button.
Lay the Rigid Foils of the leading edge on top of
one another. It’s best to start from the middle
and work on one half of the glider, then do the
second half and place its Rigid Foils next
to those of the first half.
Turn the entire leading edge 90° on its side and
fix the glider with the first compression band to
the Softbag.
Attention:
With this technique, the glider is
like an accordion from wingtip to wingtip and is
not folded in the middle! This protects the mid-
dle cells and the Rigid Foils from unnecessari-
ly stress.
Now sort the rest of the glider lengthwise to
the trailing edge and fix it with the remaining
compression bands.
