Maintenance
Washing and glider maintenance.
It is a good idea to clean your glider from time to time. We recommend using a soft sponge or cloth and a non aggressive water-so-
luble cleaning agent (such as baby soap).
We recommend wing inspections to be conducted at regular intervals:
- Repair eventual small fabric damages ( holes smaller than a 1Euro coin or 1 US. 25 cents coin ) with the small rounded sticky ripstop
pieces included in your repair kit.
- Empty out the cells/caissons from sand, pebbles, grass, leaves, etc...
Storage and transport.
When not using your glider store it inside your paragliding rucksack in a dry cool and clean place protected from UV exposure. If
your glider is wet please dry thoroughly before storing. If your glider is wet or humid.
Keep all metal parts away from corrosive elements.
Product longevity.
Irrespective of pre-flight checks, your glider must be serviced regularly and in accordance with its maintenance schedule. We recom-
mend inspection once every 2 years or every one hundred (100) hours, and more specifically check the following :
• Lines (no excessive wear no breakages or folds) maillons and carabiners
• Materials selected for the LEAF Light ensure the best compromise for lightness and longevity. However in certain conditions such as
exposure to UV or abrasion or exposure to chemical products the glider must be submitted to a thorough inspection by a qualified
facility. Your safety depends on it!
• Carabiners must be replaced every five (5) years by identically rated and certified models recommended by the manufacturer
(SUPAIR).
Repair
In spite of using the best quality materials, your glider may be subjected to wear and tear and hence will need to be regularly inspec-
ted at a qualified repair center.
SUP’AIR also offers the possibility for its products to be repaired beyond the end of the warranty period. Please contact us either by
telephone or by E-mail [email protected] in order to receive a quote.
