Step 3: Close all parts and pockets of the
back pack.
TIPS FOR CARE
- Over-stressing of individual lines, more than normal load in flight, 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 paratrike wing 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.
- Take offs and landings under strong wind conditions could force the paratrike wing 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 paratrike wing on a earthy ground under strong wind conditions
accelerates the aging process of your equipment.
- After a water or tree landing the paratrike wing 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 paratrike wing and cause a full-stall. Besides, the
sharped edges could damage the sail’s fabric.
- After the landing 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 paratrike wing 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 and within the certification requirements.
