If these changes are not sufficient, can on the better carrying side the bend of batten
no. 10 at the high point be reduced by ca. 3/16 to 3/8 inch [5-10mm]; or on other side
be increased.
If the leading edge end piece tension is increased on one side, then the folding batten
of the same side has to be lengthened by ca. 5/32 inch [4mm]. The folding batten has
a threaded adjustment at the front, turning the nut changes the length of the batten.
Check the curve of the battens from time to time.

Maintenance and Repair instructions
For car transport a special support system or a ladder are advantageous. Do not roll
the sail to tight at the Mylar insert. The Velcro ties should also not be too tight, to avoid
folds in the leading edge. A wet glider needs to be
spread out for drying after
transport, to prevent mildew spots in the sail. Undo the Velcro ties for this! Carefully
inspect the glider after a crash!
In the lower sail at the keel and the swivel tips are zippers, which facilitate a thorough
inspection. After a hard crash the disassembly ob the tubes is recommended. In an
overload situation a tube is first permanently bent and then breaks subsequently.
Therefore bent tubes where already overstressed and need to be promptly replaced,
because the metal structure is damaged. Call us, if in doubt. Because of repeated set
up and break down most cables are subject to added (ab-) use, especially in the area
of the press fittings and eyes;
Check this area regularly!
From time to time the sail battens need to be checked for correct form according to the
batten plan. The length of the leading edge tube end piece is for each glider individually
adjusted.
If such a part is replaced, the original length must be ordered or
adjusted to.
Damaged down tubes can be removed by pushing in the snap safety at the top and
unscrewing the M5 Allen bolt at the bottom. All bolt connections without nylon locknuts
are to be secured with Loctite 243. Instructions are on the Loctite container.
