• Do not pull or jerk the lines if they are caught on rocks or vegetation.
• Avoid getting the lines wet. If they do get wet, dry them as soon as possible at room
temperature and never store them wet. Never fly with wet lines as their tensile strength
will
be temporarily reduced.
IT IS
STRICTLY RECOMMENDED TO CHECK THE LINES ON EVERY PARAGLIDER
ONCE A YEAR OR EVERY 100 HOURS, WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.
ONE OF EACH A, B, C AND D LINE MUST BE TESTED FOR MINIMUM 50% OF THE
RATED STRENGTH. IF THE LINE FAILS UNDER THE LOAD TEST OR DOES NOT
RETURN TO ITS SPECIFIED LENGTH ALL THE CORRESPONDING LINES MUST BE
REPLACED. THIS RECOMMENDATION IS IN LINE WITH ISRAELI REGULATIONS,
BINDING IN ISRAEL.
AS AN ALTERNATIVE, WE SUGGEST FOR YOU TO FOLLOW THE REGULATIONS SET
BY YOUR NATIONAL AUTHORITIES WITH REGARD TO LINE MAINTENANCE AND
REPLACEMENT.
NEVER REPLACE THE LINES WITH DIFFERENT DIAMETER OR TYPE OF LINES AS
ALL GLIDERS WERE LOAD TESTED FOR SAFETY IN THEIR ORIGINAL
CONFIGURATION. CHANGING LINE DIAMETER/STRENGTHS CAN HAVE FATAL
CONSEQUENCES.
Professional use of gliders: towing, tandem, schooling and competition flying requires more
frequent line inspection and replacement of A, B, C, D and brake lines.
For replacement lines please refer to our online direct line services.

PARAGLIDING
The NRG PRO II/NRG XC II are designed as a Paramotor Slalom/Comp wings and ARE
NOT recommended for Free Flying.
5.1 TAKE OFF
As this is not a training manual we will not try to teach you launching techniques. We will
only briefly go through the different launch techniques to help you get the most out of your
glider.
5.1.1 LAYOUT
Pre-flight check should be done before every flight.
Spread the glider on the ground. Spread the lines, dividing them into eight groups A, B, C,
D and brake lines left and right. Make sure the lines are free and not twisted or knotted.
Make sure all the lines are on top of the glider and none are caught on vegetation or rocks
under the glider. Lay out the glider in a horseshoe shape. This method insures that all the
lines are equally tensioned on launch, and results in an even inflation.
