Ozone M6 Mantra Anleitung Seite 8

a wet wing will further increase the chances of a parachutal
stall occurring. Instead, lose height with gentle 360's and
make sure to consider your air speed during final approach,
use a small amount of speed bar if necessary.
ACROBATIC / SIV FLYING
The M6 has been designed as a high performance XC wing and is not
intended for aerobatic manoeuvres.
It is possible to perform SIV with this glider. Simulated TRIM speed
asymmetric and symmetric collapses are possible but due to the nature of
the tab positioning, induced FULL speed ASYMMETRIC and SYMMETRIC
collapses are not recommended. To do so properly, and to be in line with
certification requires the addition of collapse lines to the leading edge which
have to be mounted accurately, All other manoeuvres are possible and are
permitted with the normal precautions.
IMPORTANT: Ozone strongly advises against performing
induced full speed Asymmetric and Symmetric collapses with
this wing.
TOWING
The M6 may be tow-launched. It is the pilot's responsibility to use suitable
harness attachments and release mechanisms and to ensure that they are
correctly trained on the equipment and system employed. All tow pilots
should be qualified to tow, use a qualified tow operator with proper, certified
equipment, and make sure all towing regulations are observed.
When towing you must be certain that the paraglider is completely over
your head before you start. In each case the maximum tow force needs to
correspond to the body weight of the pilot.
CARING FOR YOUR WING
Packing
To prolong the life of your wing and to keep the plastic reinforcements in
the best possible condition it is very important to pack the wing carefully.
Ozone strongly recommends to use the concertina packing method exactly
as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other. It is also good
practice to use the supplied foam Folding Pillow, this reduces the angle of
the LE fold and helps preserve the plastic reinforcements. The folding pillow
can be compressed with the strap and carried in your harness. Also, using
the Ozone Saucisse pack will help preserve the life of the wing and aid with
the speed and ease of packing.
Step 1 Lay mushroomed wing on the ground
or on the Saucisse pack. It is best to start
from the mushroomed position as this reduces
the likelihood of dragging of the leading edge
across the ground.
Step 2 Group Leading Edge (LE) plastic reinforce-
ments with the A tabs roughly aligned. Make sure
the plastic reinforcements lay side by side.Note the
glider is NOT folded in half; it is folded as a com-
plete concertina from wing tip to wing tip.

Step 3 Group together the middle/trail-
ing edge of the wing by sorting the folds
near the B and C tabs.
If using a Saucisse pack go to Step 7
Step 4 Once the LE and TE of the wing
have been sorted, turn the whole wing
on its side.
Step 5 Strap the Folding Pillow below
the LE - at the point of the first fold.The
pillow reduces the angle of the fold and
helps preserve the plastics. Next fold
the TE around the LE being
careful to not fold with tight
angles
Step 6 Now place the wing into the stuff sack.
Step 7. If using the Saucisse Pack carefully
do it up without trapping any material.
Step 8. Turn the Saucisse on its side, lay
the foam Folding Pillow in place and make
the fold of the LE around it. Use 3 folds.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing flat on the ground before
packing the glider, this will cause abrasion damage to the top
surface as you pull the glider towards the middle. ALWAYS pack
from a mushroom or lift the wing off the ground when gathering
the wing and grouping the leading edge.
Important: Do not fold the glider in the centre, you will
bend the plastics, instead pack the wing with a full concer-
tina method from tip to tip before packing into the stuff sac.
