Looking after your Paraglider

Looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your SOL KANGAROO.

Storage :

Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemicals and UV light. Never pack
up or store the glider wet. This shortens the life of the cloth. Always dry glider
thoroughly before any packing or storage.

Cleaning :

Clean the paraglider with water and a soft sponge. Do not use any chemicals or
spirits for cleaning, as these can permanently damage the cloth. Stubborn stains or
animal droppings should be immediately removed with methylated spirits, rinsed
with water and then thoroughly dried.

Repair :

Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer, distributor or authorised
workshops.

Deterioration : a few tips !

The SOL KANGAROO is mainly made of NYLON, cloth which, like any synthetic
material, deteriorates through excessive exposure to UV. Hence, it is
recommended to reduce UV exposure to a minimum by keeping the paraglider
packed away when not in use. Even when packed in the bag do not leave in the
sun.

The lines of the SOL KANGAROO are made of an inner core of Polyethylene or
Technora and an outer sheath of polyester. Any over stretching of lines apart from
the strain imposed during, should be avoided as over stretching is irreversible.
Ensure that the lines are not folded tightly.

Keep the canopy and lines clean as dirt may penetrate into the fibre and shorten
the lines or damage the cloth.

Be careful, not to allow snow, sand or stones to enter inside the canopy’s cells : the
weight can brake, or even stall the glider, as well as the sharp edges can destroy
the cloth !

Prevent lines from catching on anything as they may be over stretched. Do not
step onto the lines.

destroy the cloth !
