Uncontrolled strong wind takeoffs or landings can result in the leading edge of the
canopy hitting the ground at high speed which may cause rips in the profile and
damage the rib material.
The brake line can chafe badly if tangled with another line.
Check line length after tree or water landings. They can stretch or shrink lines.
Clean the paraglider with fresh water after contact with salt water. Salt water crystal
can weaken line strength, even after rinsing in fresh water. Replace lines immedi-
ately after contact with salt water. Also check canopy material after water landings,
as waves can place uneven forces and cause cloth to distort in specific areas.
Always remove gliders from the water by holding only the trailing edge.
Never drag the wing over rough ground! This will damage the cloth on the wear
points. When preparing the wing on a takeoff with rough ground, don't pull the
wing over it (for example by pulling the brakes). Please try to pack the wing on soft
ground.
A line plan is enclosed in this operators manual or may be requested from the
manufacturer or importer.
Do not always fold the canopy symmetrically to the centre cell as this can cause
constant stress on the centre cell (centre cell always to the outside).
You should arrange an annual inspection of the NOVA PHOR2 to be carried out
by the manufacturer or distributor.
The DHV requires a two yearly maintenance check. A DHV-stamp is required to
confirm the check, otherwise the Guetesiegel certification is rendered invalid.
