Maintenance Checks; General Information And Safety - Ozone BULLET 008 Betriebshandbuch

Wing Repairs
If the rip is small, you can fix it yourself. The Bullet's cloth can be simply mended with the
adhesive backed rip-stop tape.
You can find more information about repairing your wing on the Ozone website, including
step by step instructions with pictures.
Damaged line
Any line that is damaged should be replaced. It is important that the replacement line is
made from the same material, has the same strength and the same length. Once the line
has been replaced, inflate and check the glider before flying. Please contact Ozone or
consult our website to find a certified Ozone repair facility.

MAINTENANCE CHECKS

It is vitally important that your Bullet be checked regularly.
Your wing should be checked by a qualified professional for the first time after 6 months or
100 flights, and thereafter every 100 flights.
We recommend that the check is performed by a qualified professional.
You are responsible for your flying equipment and your safety depends on it. Take care
of it and regularly inspect all of its components. Changes in a wing's launching or flying
behaviour are indicators of the glider aging. If you notice any changes you should have the
wing checked before flying again.
The basic checks involve line measurement and breaking strain, as well as cloth porosity
and tear strength. (Full details can be found on our website www.flyozone.com).
Modifications
Your Ozone Bullet was designed and trimmed to give the optimum balance of performance,
handling and safety. Any modification will probably make the glider more difficult to fly and
less safe. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not modify your Bullet in
any way.
