General Glider Care

Take care while using Your glider. The inappropriate and/or inaccurate use may cause the 

damage of the canopy and lines, and the glider may become dangerous in flight.

Follow these rules and your Escort-2 will be in good condition:

- Do not expose your glider to the sun any longer than necessary
- Keep it away from water and other liquids
- Do not let the front edge hit the ground
- If wet dry Escort-2 in shade. If soaked in salty water, rinse the glider thoroughly in non-
salty water

- Keep your glider away from fire

- Do not put anything heavy on your glider, do not pack it in a rucksack too tightly.

- Regularly inspect the canopy, lines, risers and harness. If you find any defects, contact 

your dealer or the manufacturer. Do not attempt to self-repair the paraglider!
- If you detect a damaged line, inform the dealer or manufacturer about the line number 
according to the line plan
- Keep your Escort-2 in a rucksack in a dry well-ventilated place under neutral temperature 
and humidity conditions
- If you do not use the glider, then once a month you should unpack it, ventilate it well, and 
then pack it back in the rucksack.
- Do not wash Escort-2. Do not use detergents or solvents. Clean dirty places with wet soft 
cloth or sponge.
