carefully packing your paraglider will increase the longevity of your glider.
>Empty the glider from all debris such as leaves, twigs, grass, sand etc.
>Sort out your lines and spread them evenly on the glider.
>Make sure the glider is dry when storing it for lengthy periods of time.
> Fold the glider starting in the middle and work your way to the outside always fold-
ing 2 cells, so that the leading edge is folded cleanly.
> Fold the cells, starting from the second cell from the middle, so that the reinforced
edges of the cell openings are on top of one another.
>Do the same at the lower long-edge of the glider.
> This folding method is best done together with a friend, but you should be able to
do the same on your own after some practice.
> Then press the air out of the folded glider starting at the bottom and working your
way to the top.
>Fold the whole row once toward the middle.
> Do exactly the same on the other side. Then fold one half onto the other half and-
make sure that the leading edge is folded cleanly.
> Start wrapping up the glider from its lower end. The wraps should be approx. 1ft.
wide.
> The leading edge can be folded inwards once, but is not necessary. The left over
air should be pressed out of the glider and not through the material (this can increa-
sethe porosity of your glider).
