Type designation
Powerplay paragliders have an exact
identification on the underside of the stabilo
lines or on the centre rib, which is an
obligatory requirement for all paragliders.
The information required is set out in the
airworthiness requirements.
It is helpful to provide the type designation
and serial number of the paraglider if you
are contacting your Powerplay dealer with
any queries or ordering replacement parts
or accessories, to ensure accurate
identification.
Repairs
Powerplay workshops
All repairs and servicing should be carried
out by a Powerplay-authorised workshop or
directly by Powerplay. Powerplay
workshops have trained staff, original
Powerplay parts and the necessary know-
how, all of which will ensure top quality.
Small repairs to the glider
You can repair small tears in the wing
yourself using self-adhesive sail material,
provided that the tears are in places which
do not bear heavy loads, are not at the
seams and are no bigger than 3cm.
Replacement lines for the Scorpio can be
ordered direct from us online at:

Regular inspections
The following parts and materials must be
inspected regularly for damage, abrasion
and correct operation, e.g. after landing:
•
Risers and quick-links
•
Lines
•
Fabric
Lines
Measuring the length of the lines is part of
the regular paraglider inspection. The lines
must be measured with a load of 5kg, so as
to ensure reproducible results for a
comparison with the lengths given in the
check sheets. The line lengths for the
Scorpio are listed in the Maintenance and
Service book.
The lines have a considerable influence on
flight behaviour. Correct line length and
symmetry are also important for
performance and handling. Powerplay
therefore recommends an inspection every
50 to 100 hours airtime or once a year.
Lines age and lose strength even if the
paraglider is used infrequently or not at all.
This can affect the safety and operation of
your paraglider. Signs of wear are slight
bumps or changes in flying characteristics.
The lines must then be replaced
immediately. Use only inspected and
approved lines, which can be obtained
through Powerplay.
WARNING
A damaged line can result in loss of
control of the glider, so lines which are
damaged must always be replaced.
If you need to replace damaged or
worn-out parts, use only original parts
or parts approved by the manufacturer.
