7. Storage and Servicing
Servicing / Inspection
It is important to have your glider regularly serviced. It should have a thorough check / inspection every 24 months or
every 150 flight hours, whichever occurs first. This check must be made by the manufacturer, importer, distributor or
other authorised persons. The checking must be proven by a stamp on the certification sticker on the glider as well in
the service book. BGD will offer an inspection service every winter. This is a comprehensive service which checks line
lengths and strength, fabric porosity and tear strength and a variety of other tests and we strongly advise all pilots to
take advantage of this.
Please print out the service pages from this manual, fill in the number of flights and hours flown in the Service Record,
and send together with your glider when it goes for inspection or servicing. The manufacturer will only accept
responsibility for paraglider lines and repairs which we have produced and fitted or repaired ourselves.
Environmental protection and recycling
Our sport takes place in the natural environment, and we should do everything to preserve our environment. A glider
is basically made of nylon, synthetic fibres and metal. At the end of your paraglider’s life span, please remove all metal
parts and put the different materials in an appropriate waste/recycling plant.
