Avoid storing the power glider for long periods in areas with high humidity or heat, this
causes premature aging of the materials. Keep away sand, stones or snow from
entering the canopy cells because any weight on the trailing edge slows the canopy
down, possibly creating a stall, furthermore, sharp corners may cut the fabric.
During takeoffs and landings in windy conditions, a run-away canopy may hit the
ground strongly and the shock may rupture the material.
In case of line entanglement the brake lines may peel-off or a main line may get cut by
a brake line, due to friction.
On landing, avoid letting the Leading Edge fall forward and downward towards the
ground because this may damage the materials that form the front of the power glider
and/or rip the sewn areas.
The manipulation of the power glider during ground takeoff, or a lot of wind speed up
the aging process of your equipment.
After a tree or water landing, the lines must be checked and
tested.
In case of salt-water contact, the power glider must be
soaked and washed with fresh water. Salt water might
decrease the lines' resistance even if soaked with fresh
water. The lines must be changed after contact with salt
water.
Never dry the power glider directly under the sun. This must
be done in a shaded area. After drying send the power
glider for inspection to the manufacturer or distributor.
A Line Plan can be found in this manual or can be obtained
with the manufacturer or distributor.
After an accident or long time without using the power glider must be checked.
It is recommended that the canopy should not folded in the same symmetric position
in relation to the center, this way the center cell will not be always exposed, therefore
keeping the central cell from fatigue overtime.
Avoid storing the power glider near fire and/or sharp objects. Any contact with acids
should be avoided. In case of any doubts ask your distributor.
