- Inspection and repairs
The first inspection check is mandatory completing 24 months or 100 flights,
whichever comes first.
After the first inspection any wing has to be checked yearly or at each 100 flights,
whichever comes first. In any of these inspections may occur that a shorter period of
time for the next inspection will be defined (f. ex. 6 months or 50 flights).
In case of excessive use (permanent spirals and other extreme maneuvers) the period
of inspection has to be shorter.
It is of utmost importance to follow these guidelines. Without performing the
mandatory inspections, the paraglider loses its certification and the respective

warranty becomes null and void.
Always check your equipment after an incident or in case the canopy has been stored
for a long time. Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer, distributor or
authorized personnel. Minor repairs could be handled by yourself, although we
recommend that repairs should be performed by the manufacturer or authorized
personnel. They have the necessary materials and tools to maintain your glider.
Replace materials only with the originals. Using any other the glider will lose his
certification.
Tears
Along with your kit you get small adhesives for repair. Small tears up to 10 cm away
from the line points may be fixed by you. Beyond that we advise you the maintenance
be made by the manufacturer or by the registered workshop.
•
Clean the spot where the adhesive will be applied with a humid cloth.
•
It must be at least 2,5 cm more of the adhesive than the tear.
•
Make the edges rounded to avoid to unglue after is glue.
•
Apply on both sides of the tear.
