Storage
It is best to store paragliders in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Permanently storing the wing at high temperatures (for example, in a
car during summer) should be avoided. The wing should not be tightly
packed when stored for long periods. It is preferable to leave it more
loosely packed in the inner bag.
Cleaning
To clean the canopy, use only water and a soft cloth/sponge (no deter-
gents!).
Remove sand, dirt or little stones from the inside of the canopy. Sand
is abrasive and this accelerates the aging of the wing. To remove dirt
from the trailing edge, we have fitted Velcro to the ends of the wing
tips. Open this to shake out unwanted dust/dirt.
Repair
Repairs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised
service centres. A list of authorised service centres can be found at
our web site at:
nova.eu/en/try-buy/
Exceptions are replacing lines, the repair of small tears (up to 5 centi-
metres which do not require stitching) or holes in the sail cloth which
can be fixed with original NOVA repair tape (supplied with the glider).
Spare parts, like additional repair tape or replacement lines, are avai-
lable from authorised service centres or directly from NOVA.
Disposal
The synthetic materials used in the construction of a paraglider should
be responsibly disposed of. When you wish to dispose of your glider,
please return it to NOVA or to your local NOVA partner, where it will
be dismantled into its individual components and properly disposed of.
Powered flight
Basics
Your paraglider can be used for paramotoring. Before your initial flight,
please check the current registration status on our website. You will
find this at www.nova.eu/en/gliders/. Please select your paraglider,
click Downloads on the product page and open the document on the
Motor page. This lists the motorised operating conditions, for example
the recommended weight range, as stipulated in the DGAC registra-
tion.
If there is no Motor tab in the Download section, this means that the
DGAC has not (yet) registered your paraglider for motorised flight.
Please check if the French DGAC registration is recognised in your
country. Please also confirm that your paramotor and your wing are
compatible or if there are any known peculiarities. Please contact your
paramotor manufacturer or dealer. Additional training is necessary for
paramotoring.
