•
Do not ski or snowboard on the glider or the lines.
•
Do not allow the wing to crash onto its leading edge.
•
Do not drag the wing.
•
Do not leave the wing exposed to sun.
•
Keep the wing as dry as possible at all times.
Storage
Always store all of your equipment in a dry room, protected from
direct heat. Your wing should be dry before being packed away.
Heat and humidity are the worst factors in damaging your glider.
(Storing a damp glider in your car under the sun would be terrible,
for example).
Dry your wing out of the sun, in the wind. Never use a hair dryer,
etc.
Do not store wet.
Take care that no insects get packed away with the wing they may
eat the cloth and create holes in a bid to escape, they can also
leave acidic deposits if they die and decompose.
Cleaning
Any kind of wiping/scratching can damage the coating of the cloth.
We recommend you use a soft cloth dampened only with water and
to use gentle movements across the surface.
Never use any detergent or chemical cleaners.
Wing Repairs
If the rip is small, you can fix it yourself. The 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 re-
placed, inflate and check the glider before flying. Please contact
Ozone or consult our website to find a certified Ozone repair facil-
ity.
Maintenance Checks
It is vitally important that your wing 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 profes-
sional.
You are responsible for your flying equipment and your safety
depends on it. Take care of it and regularly inspect all of its com-
ponents. 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 wing 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 rea-
sons, we strongly recommend that you do not modify it in any way.
