LACY 2 HF 

If your wing gets wet with salty water, immerse it in fresh water and dry it away from direct sunlight. The 
sunlight may damage the materials of your wing and cause premature aging. Once you have landed, do not 
leave the wing in the sun, store it properly. 

If you use your wing in a sandy area, try to avoid the sand from entering through the cell openings of the 
leading edge. If sand is inside the wing, remove it before folding. 

If it gets wet of sea water, you should submerge it into fresh water and let it dry far away from the sun. 

7.2   

STORAGE 

It  is  important  that  the  wing  is  correctly  folded  when  stored.  Store  your  flying  equipment  in  a  cool,  dry 
place away from solvents, fuels or oils. It is not advisable to store your flying equipment in the trunk of your 
car. Temperatures inside a car parked in the sunlight, can be very high. Inside a rucksack and in the sunlight 
temperatures can reach 60ºC. Weight should not be laid on top of the equipment. 

If the flying gear is stored with organic material (such as leaves or insects) inside, the chemical reacBon can 
cause irreparable damage. 

7.3   

CHECKS AND CONTROLS 

You should ensure your LACY 2 HF is periodically serviced and checked at your local repair shop every 100 
hours of use or every 24 months (whichever happens first). This is the only way to guarantee that your LACY 
2  HF  will  conBnue  to  funcBon  properly  and  therefore  conBnue  fulfilling  the  homologaBon  cerBficate 
results. 

7.4   

REPAIRS 

If the wing is damaged, you can temporarily repair it by using the rip stop found in the repair kit, so long as 
no sBtches are involved in the tear. Any other type of tear must be repaired in a specialized repair shop or 
by qualified personnel. Do not accept a home repair. 

8. 

SAFETY AND RESPONSIBILITY 

It is well known that paragliding is considered a high-risk sport, where safety depends on the person who is 
pracBsing it. 
Wrong use of this equipment may cause severe injuries to the pilot, even death. Manufacturers and dealers 
are not responsible for any act or accident that may be the result of pracBcing this sport.
