Looking after your Paraglider:

Looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your NOVA MEN-
TOR.

Storage:

Store the paraglider in a dry space at ambient temperature away from chemi-
cals 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.

Transport:

During transport it has to be considered, that some materials of the paraglider
are temperature sensible. Avoid applying your wing to high temperatures (i.e.
luggage space of a parked car in the sun)!
When sending your wing as a parcel, care for a good packaging.

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 author-
ized workshops.
Only original spare parts have to be used! In the case of any doubts: ask the
NOVA head office: info@nova-wings.com!

Deterioration: a few tips!

The NOVA MENTOR 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.
The lines of the NOVA MENTOR are made of an inner core of Aramid
(Technora) or Polyethylene (Dyneema) and an outer sheath of Polyester.
