Washing and glider maintenance
It is a good idea to wash your glider from time to time. We recommend using a soft solvent (such as soap) use a brush and rinse
thoroughly.
Storage and transport
When not using your glider, store it inside your paragliding rucksack in a dry cool and clean place protected from UV exposure. If
your harness is wet please dry thoroughly before storing. If your glider is wet or humid make sure you dry it out properly
Product longevity and mandatory controls
Irrespective of pre-flight checks, you must have the glider serviced regularly. We recommend that the wing should be checked every
2 years or every 100 flight hours, whichever comes first, and in particular :
• Lines (no excessive wear, no breakages or folds), maillons, attachment points and carabiners
• Materials selected for the BIRDY ensure the best compromise for lightness and longevity. However in certain conditions, for
example excessive exposure to UV or abrasion or exposure to chemical products, the glider must be submitted to a full check in
a qualified facility. Your safety is at stake.
• Carabiners must be replaced by new ones every five ( 5 ) years by identical models or models recommended by the manufacturer
( SUPAIR ).
Repair
Even if we have used the best quality materials, your glider may be subject to wear and tear. In this case you must have it checked by
a qualified workshop.
Please contact us either by telephone or by E-mail sav@supair.com for more information.
