Looking after your Paraglider:

Looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your NOVA
ARGON.

Storage:

Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemicals and UV light.
Never pack up or store the glider wet. This shortens the life of the cloth.
Always dry glider thoroughly before any packing or storage.

Cleaning:

Clean the paraglider with water and a soft sponge. Do not use any
chemicals or spirits for cleaning, as these can permanently damage the
cloth.

Repair:

Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer, distributor or
authorized workshops.

Deterioration: a few tips!

The NOVA ARGON is mainly made of NYLON, cloth which, like any
synthetic material, deteriorates through excessive exposure to UV.
Hence, it is recommended to reduce UV exposure to a minimum by
keeping the paraglider packed away when not in use. Even when packed
in the bag do not leave in the sun.
