We strongly advise you not to fly in the rain on any paraglider including the TR 27. If you do fly
in the rain, be aware that you will have a greater risk of entering a deep stall. It is wise to apply
speed bar after passing through rain until you are confident that the glider is flying normally
and has preferably dried out so that there is no longer any risk of deep stall.
Flying in extremely humid weather or in rain is outside of the operating limits of the glider. If
you are not able to avoid flying in rain, please observe the following:
Always make sure before attaching advertising to the glider that the adhesive planned will not
alter the glider’s flight behavior. If you are in doubt, we recommend that you do not attach
the adhesive. Attaching adhesives to the glider which are large, heavy, or made of unsuitable
material may result in revocation of the certification.
In many cases, sand and salt air cause the lines and fabric to age much more rapidly. If you
often fly near the sea, the glider should be inspected more frequently than normally required.
The glider structure is put under high levels of strain in particular on extreme flight maneuvers,
rapid descent methods (spiral dives) or prohibited aerobatic maneuvers. They considerably
accelerate the aging process of the structure and should therefore be avoided.
The glider must be inspected earlier than is usually the case if it has been put under more than
the usual degree of strain.
Temperatures under -10 °C and over +50°C can make the paraglider unfit to fly. The
manufacturer’s warranty will lapse if the glider is used outside of this temperature range.

Overloading
Temperature range
• it is advisable to fly with slight acceleration during and after the rain (min. 30% or more)
• use no brake input or as little as possible
• control travel reduces
•
avoid tight turns, especially in the final approach. If conditions allow, you should also fly
slightly accelerated in this phase
• avoid large angles of attack and the possible early stall near the ground (release the speed
bar only slowly
• Open the canopy completely on the ground.
• Place all the lines spread by the inner layer and risers in the middle outside the canopy on
the trailing edge.
• We recommend folding your paraglider like an accordion. This will keep the profile
reinforcements (Mylar/Carbon) from being crumpled and/or folded. By using this folding
method, the paraglider will keep its takeoff and flight characteristics for longer.
• Keep folding to approximately 50 cm.
• Remove all the air by sliding your hand from the trailing edge to the leading edge.
• Make sure the volume is a little smaller than the protection bag.
• Avoid multiple folds at the same place.
A good maintenance extends the life of your TR 27 for many years to come.
TR 27 - UP-KEEP AND CARE
The TR 27 fabric is made mainly out of Nylon, which like any other synthetic material is sensitive
to UV light radiation, causing it to decompose, losing its mechanical resistance, and thus
increasing its porosity. For this reason, the unnecessary exposure to sun light, which carries a
high UV radiation level in high altitudes must be avoided. It is highly recommended to leave the
paraglider stored away and well protected when it´s not being used in a dry place, protected
from UV light and away from chemical products. Avoid keeping the paraglider in places with
high temperature (trunk of the car).
Your backpack was designed with comfort and practicality in mind. It´s format allows for good
content distribution. Shoulder straps and back support are padded so that comfort is not
compromised during walks.
By following each step properly, you will be helping to preserve the life span of your equipment:
1 Open the canopy completely.
2 Packing the glider “accordion wise”.
3 Place each profile reinforcement over the corresponding cell.
4 Bring together the two parts and roll the canopy up without compressing too strongly.

Warning
• After an accident or long time without using the paraglider must be checked.
