Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemical agents, UV light and high tem-
perature. If the canopy has been packed wet it is necessary to reopen it and let it dry
before packing away for a sustained period. Keep the canopy and lines clean, as dirt may
penetrate into the fibres and damage them.
Clean the paraglider only with fresh water and a soft sponge. If the glider comes into con-
tact with salt water, wash the glider as soon as possible with fresh water & then dry
completely. Avoid contact with chemical agents like oil, petrol, solvent and similar, which
can damage the fabric and its surface covering.
We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by Windtech or
the distributor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines,
cloth and stitching. Check the lines for fraying, or the stitching coming undone, and mea-
sure them to check for any shrinking.
Small tears in the sail can be repaired by using adhesive spinnaker cloth repair patches,
which we supply with every new glider. Big tears and repairs affecting sewing or struc-
tural parts of the paraglider must be carried out only by the manufacturer or authorised
service centres.
