5. MAINTENANCE &
CHECKS
5.1. Maintenance Advice
The lifespan of your paraglider depends largely on the care with
which you maintain and use it. To maximize the lifespan of your
wing, respect the following rules:
• Avoid dropping the canopy on its top surface or on its
leading edge during inflation or landing.
• Don't drag it across the ground when moving it.
• Don't expose it unnecessarily to sunlight.
• Choose a folding technique that doesn't damage the
leading edge strips and that doesn't crease the internal
structure excessively. To maximize the life of your glider we
do not recommend the use of stuff sacks: the abrasion of
the material will decrease the life expectancy of the fabric –
in particular its internal structure.
• Always use the protective bag to avoid direct contact with
the harnesses and buckles, and unwanted frictions inside
the rucksack.
• Never store your paraglider when it is damp. If immersed in
sea water, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water. Do not use any
detergents.
• Dry your paraglider away from direct light in a dry and well-
aired place.
• Empty any foreign bodies from your paraglider regularly, for
example sand, stones or animal or vegetable matter which
may eventually decay.
• Twigs, sand, pebbles, etc damage tissue in successive
folds, and organic debris of vegetable or animal origin
(insects) can promote mould growth.
5.2. Pre-delivery Control
The paraglider has undergone a series of tests during the pro-
duction process and consequent flight tests before delivery.
It is delivered with the same brake setting as used during
certification.
Periodic Checks & Repairs:
For safety reasons it is recommended that the paraglider be
checked at least once a year, or after 100 flights and anytime
there is a change in its behaviour. The check must be done by
the manufacturer or an authorized representative. Before send-
ing the paraglider for an inspection, contact your importer or
your dealer. Have your wing additionally checked if you notice
damages or a change in flight behaviour
Fixing small rips
Small rips in the sail up to a length of 4 cm can be repaired with
adhesive sail tape. Keep an excess length of 3 cm on both ends
of the rip and apply the tape to both sides.
Spare parts
Your SKY wing consists of many high quality long-life compo-
nents. When replacing parts, (lines, risers, fabric panels, etc.),
only original parts may be used. In addition to the continued
airworthiness of your paraglider this is important for your safety
as well.
5.3. Guarantee
AYA is guaranteed for two years against any production fault
since the date of purchase.
The guarantee does not cover:
• Damage caused by misuse, by neglecting regular mainte-
nance, or if the glider is overloaded or misused.
• Damage caused by inappropriate landings.

6. DISPOSAL
Even the best products have a limited service life, and once
your glider reaches this point, it must be disposed of properly.
Please make sure your paraglider is disposed of in the correct
environmental manner, or send it back to Sky Paragliders for
correct disposal. Respect the environment and look after your
flying sites. Practise our sport with respect for nature, wildlife
and other people! Don't walk outside marked routes, do not
litter, do not make noise.
If you have any questions regarding the information in this man-
ual, contact your SKY dealer.
