Line repairs

Any damage to the lines (even if it is only the outer sheath) means a new line
should be ordered immediately. Ideally a dealer should replace the line. Before
fitting a replacement line, check it for length against its counterpart on the other
side of the wing. When a line has been replaced, always inflate the glider on flat
ground to check that everything is in order before flying.

Ground handling

Many paragliders are damaged by careless ground handling. Here are some
things to avoid in order to prolong the life of your aircraft :
DO NOT drag your wing along the ground to another take-off position - this
damages the sailcloth.
DO NOT try to open your wing in strong winds without untangling the lines first -
this puts unnecessary strain on the lines.
DO NOT walk on the wing or lines.
DO NOT inflate the glider and then allow it to crash back down. Try to keep this
movement as smooth as possible by moving towards the glider as it comes down.
NEVER allow the glider to crash back down to ground leading edge first! This
puts great strain on the wing and stitching and can even explode cells. Almost all
claims of 'faulty stitching' or 'weak sailcloth' originate from leading-edge slams.

lnsects

Take care that no insects get packed away with the wing. Some insects
(grasshoppers for example) decay into an acidic substance which can then burn
holes in the sailcloth!

OZONE gliders may be tow-launched. It is the pilot's responsibility to ensure that
suitable harness attachments and release mechanisms are used and that she/he
is correctly trained on the equipment and system employed. OZONE make no
specific recommendations.

When your glider leaves the factory, it is trimmed for the optimum balance
between performance, handling and safety. It should be noted that any
modification will mean that the glider loses any certification and will also probably
be more difficult to fly. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that
modifications should only be made after contacting OZONE directly.
