SOL paragliders TR27 Manual Download

Page: 14 / 26

•

Your TR 27 was designed, tested and certified to perform the best. Any alteration of your

paraglider will nullify your certification and jeopardize your safety. For these reasons we

strongly recommend you avoid altering anything on your paraglider.

•

We advise you the maintenance and repairs be made by the manufacturer or by a registered

workshop.

Warning

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).

In case of excessive use (permanent spirals and other extreme maneuvers) the period of

inspection must be shorter.

It is of utmost importance to follow these guidelines. Without performing the mandatory

inspections, the paraglider loses its certification and the respective SOL Paragliders warranty

becomes invalid.

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.

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.

•

Along with your kit you get a 1.1 thickness line to make a little repair. When you repair we

advise you to sew the unsowed point after you check the measure. Do not knot because it may

diminish up to 80 % of the line resistance.

Along with your kit you get sealing for the carbines. Do not leave your risers without them

because they avoid the movement of the screw nut making it impossible their opening.

Every paraglider manufactured has a Warranty of 3 Years or 300 Hours of Flight, whichever

comes first.

The backpack zipper must open and close softly. If there is any difficulty to move it you must

apply paraffin or a spray lubricant to diminish the attrition among the components. You will

notice the difference when you move it.

It is possible most of the times you fix by yourself the zipper. In case it does not close any more
