Repairs
Basically only authorized service centers may execute repairs on paragliders. Small damages
like tears or small holes up to a size of 2 x 2 cm, where a repair without special equipment is
possible, the pilot may do by himself. The included self-sticky tape from the repair-kit is to be
used for that. Tears or holes need to be fixed from both sides. Please take care that the repair
tape sticks out at least 2cm beyond the damaged area on all sides. The self-sticky tape can be
cut into the right form. rounding off the corners prevents it from becoming detached.
Recycle
U-Turn uses only safe materials and puts a lot of value on save the resources. nevertheless the
materials used in a paraglider need proper disposal. Please return worn out gliders to U-Turn
GmbH or disassemble the glider into its parts and dispose.
