TIPS FOR CARE
- Over-stressing of individual lines, more than normal load in training, should be
avoided. An excessive deformation is irreversible and can’t be undone. For the same
reason avoid stepping on the lines, bending or folding them, especially the main
lines.
- Always open the FUN on clean ground, otherwise dirt could penetrate the fabric,
shorten the lines or damage the canopy. Lines should not be entangled to objects
during the phase of inflation, otherwise they could be deformed or damaged. Never
step on the canopy, especially not on hard ground.
- Training with strong wind conditions could force the FUN to crash uncontrolled with
high velocity on the ground, the crash could damage fabric and sewings.
- In case of a Line Over the brake lines could wear of or a main line could be cut by
a brake line or crack by friction.
- Handling the FUN on a earthy ground under strong wind conditions accelerates the
aging process of your equipment.
- After a water or tree landing the FUN must be sent for inspection to an authorized
dealer’s workshop.
- It must be avoided that sand, stones or snow enter in the cells, otherwise the weight
on the trailing edge could brake the glider and cause a full-stall. Besides, the sharped
edges could damage the sail’s fabric.
- Training be careful, avoid crashing the leading edge on the ground. Otherwise the
material and sewings of the cell openings could be damaged.
- In case the FUN gets in contact with salty water, he must be washed with sweet
water and dry in the shadow. Never use tools to accelerate the drying process. Salty
water could reduce the line resistance and increase the porosity of the fabric, even
washed out with sweet water.
- After any kind of accident: the equipment must be sent for inspection to an
authorized dealer’s workshop or to the manufacturer.
- Keep up to the required inspection data, to assure that your equipment is always
save for use.
