Maintenance, storing and inspection
Regular controls, right storing and good care are providing your rescue system with
more life. Otherwise the functionality of your rescue system is at risk. The parachute
must be inspected regularly.
a.
Care
If you land in salt water, you must immediately rinse the parachute and lines
thoroughly with fresh water before it can dry. It is of vital importance to remove all
traces of salt before drying otherwise permanent damage may occur. It may take
several rinses to completely remove all traces of salt. If there are any visible signs of
damage to the cloth or evidence of salt crystals, the parachute should be deemed un-
airworthy and withdrawn from service. Completely air dry your parachute out of
sunlight or other sources of direct heat. Failure to do so can result in uneven drying
of cloth and lines. Your parachute must be dry before repacking.
If your parachute is dirty we recommend cleaning only with a damp cloth.
b.
Repairs
Repairs must be realized only by SOL Paragliders or an authorized seller. They have
the necessary original parts.
c.
Storing
Keep your parachute free from exposure to UV, moisture, dirt, dust, chemicals
or any other contaminates.
Always store all your flying equipment in a cool dry room and protect it from
direct heat such as radiators or sunlight.
Moisture, heat and humidity are the worst elements for damaging your
parachute
