Maintenance 

Warranty 

 
This equipment and all its components are guaranteed for 2 years for any manufacturing defect. The warranty does 
not cover damage caused by misuse or abnormal use of the equipment. 

A rigorous maintenance is essential for a good performance.  
A check is obligatory before every flight. Being meticulous regarding your equipment is essential. 
Impacting the leading edge on a hard surface can damage fabric and wing structure. The leading edge must be 
subject of meticulous and accurate controls. In case of soiling, clean up fabric and lines with a wet rag. Only use 
water. Don’t let it dry in the sunlight: it could lead to a premature aging of the wing. Store your wing in a dry place, 
out of sunlight. If there is an accumulation of sand in the glider, take all the sand out before folding it and putting it 
into the bag. 
It  is  also  essential  for  the  wing  to  be  correctly  storage.  Store  the  sail  in  a  fresh  and  dry  place,  far  away  from 
chemicals substances, oils or rodents. Do not let it in a car trunk: your wing could heat up quickly.  
 
About folding: it’s essential for the wing to be correctly folded and packed after every flight. When you do not use 
your glider for a while, give priority to a loosely folding and avoid direct contact with the ground. 
 
As all the wings, your Foxy must be regularly inspected in a workshop every 100 hours of use or every 2 years. 
Any minor repairs or modifications to your sail should be checked by professionals.
