7.2 STORAGE
It is important for the wing to be correctly folded when stored. Keep it in
the in a cool, dry place away from solvents, fuels, oils.
Do not leave your gear inside a car boot, as cars left in the sun can
become very hot. A rucksack can reach temperatures up to 60ºC.
Weight should not be laid on top of the equipment.
It is very important to pack the wing correctly before storage.
In case of long-term storage it is advisable, if possible, that the wing is
not compressed and it should be stored loosely without direct contact
with the ground. Humidity and heating can have an adverse effect on the
equipment.
7.3 CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
Inspections
The IKUMA 2 must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be
scheduled every 100 flying hours or every two years whichever comes
first (EN/LTF norm).
We strongly recommend that any repairs should
be done in a specialist repair shop by qualified personnel.
This will guarantee the airworthiness and continued certification of your
IKUMA 2.
A thorough pre-flight check must be performed before every flight.
Checking unsheathed lines
The IKUMA 2 is fitted with unsheathed lines. Their durability conforms
to unsheathed line standards. Their strength is guaranteed and their
resistance to UV is one of the highest in this type of lines.
However, one of the obligations derived from the use of these
lines is the need to maintain the trim of your IKUMA 2 within the
stipulated ranges.
We recommend checking the lines after the first +/- 30 flying hours.
Why is this necessary?
Thanks to our research and experience acquired over time by our R&D
team, we are capable of predicting how lines will perform.
Following the recommended inspections will allow you to maintain the
wing in optimum condition.
The maintenance carried out on each wing will be different depending on
the conditions of each flying area, climate, temperature, humidity, type of
terrain, wing load, etc.
With regard to the so-called “loops”, some models are delivered with
loops already made. To adjust the trim these can be loosened or
readjusted. However, a wing should not be trimmed according to the
measurements copied from another wing of the same type. Each trim
setting is individual to each wing, and is determined after measurements
and subsequent analysis by specialised personnel.
7.4 REPAIRS
We recommend any inspection or repair is performed by a Niviuk
professional in our official workshop:
