46 Section 8 Storing and looking after the paraglider
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 or 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.
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.
IMPORTANT
Do not under any circumstances 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
