INSPECTION
REPAIRS
Your paraglider has strictly to follow the required inspection intervals. The first inspection
check is mandatory completing 24 months or 100 flights, whichever comes first.
After the first inspection any wing must be checked yearly or at each 100 flights,
whichever comes first. In any of these inspections may occur that a shorter period for
the next inspection will be defined (f. ex. 6 months or 50 flights).
Without performing the mandatory inspections, the paraglider loses its certification and
the warranty becomes null and void.
After any kind of accident or a long period without use: sent the paraglider for inspection
to an authorized dealer’s workshop or to the manufacturer. It’s for your own good.
Minor repairs (see below) you could do by yourself, but all other repairs must only be
made by an authorized dealer’s workshop or the manufacturer.
Repairs must only be made by an authorized dealer’s workshop or to the manufacturer.
In case of minor repairs you are receiving with your glider a basic repair kit. It contains
adhesive labels in case of minor tears and quick link sealing.
Small tears up to 10 cm away from the line suspension points may be fixed by yourself.
Beyond that the maintenance must be made by an authorized dealer’s workshop or the
manufacturer.
•
Clean the spot where the adhesive label will be applied with a humid cloth.
•
The adhesive label has to be at least 2,5 cm larger than the tear.
•
Round the edges, otherwise the adhesive label could loosen after the aplication.
•
Apply on both sides of the tear.
In case of a line crack we recommend to contact your dealer, an authorized dealer’s
workshop or the manufacturer. After the repair test the glider on the ground and check
if everything is alright.
Along with your kit you’re get sealing for the quick links. Don’t leave your risers without
them, because they avoid the movement of the screw nut, making it impossible to open.
