Section 08

Storing and looking after the paraglider

a way again. Do not pack your glider too

tightly after use and, even though it is

very comfortable, never sit on the

backpack with the glider inside.

Contact with salt water

If salt water gets on the glider, before

being dried, it should immediately be

thoroughly rinsed in fresh water. It

should then be dried in a well-ventilated

room (but out of the sun).
If the glider is not thoroughly rinsed,

there may be permanent damage to the

material.

Lines

The NYOS RS has various different high-

quality and accurately manufactured

lines

which

have

been

selected

according to the load and area of use.

You should also protect the lines from

unnecessary UV light because, as with

the fabric, UV light in particular will

weaken the lines.
Be careful that there is no abrasion

caused to the coating on the lines by

rubbing, particularly when ground-

training with crossed risers.
Do not walk on the lines after the glider
has been spread out and watch out for

spectators

skiers

who

may

inadvertently go over the lines.
When you are packing up the glider, be

careful to avoid putting any unnecessary

kinks in the lines and use only the

overhand knot or bowline knots

described for the brake lines.



PLEASE NOTE

Dyneema lines, which are used in the

area of the main brake lines, for

example, are very temperature-

sensitive and can be permanently

damaged at temperatures above 75°

C. Therefore your glider should never

be stored in a hot car especially

during summer

Cleaning

If you do have to clean the glider, use

only lukewarm fresh water and a soft

sponge. Use a weak soap solution for

stubborn stains, and then rinse it out

carefully and thoroughly. Leave the

glider to dry in a place which is well-

ventilated and in the shade.



PLEASE NOTE

Do not use chemicals, brushes, rough

cloths, high-pressure cleaners or

steamers to clean the glider, as

these can damage the fabric coating

and weaken it. The glider becomes

porous and loses braking strength.
Do not under any circumstances put
the glider in the washing machine.

Even if washing powder is not used,

the glider would be badly damaged by

the mechanical action of the machine.

Do not put the canopy into a

swimming pool - chlorine will damage

the fabric. If you have no choice but

to rinse the glider, e.g. following a

landing in the sea, gently wash it

down inside and out with fresh water.

Frequent rinsing accelerates the

aging process.
