Washing and glider maintenance.
It is not a good idea to often wash your glider from time to time. Anyway if you have to do it, we recommend using sponge or soft hair
brush and a non aggressive water-soluble cleaning agent (such as baby soap).
We will recommend wing inspections to be conducted at regular intervals:
- Repair eventual small fabric damages ( holes smaller than a 1Euro coin or 1 US. 25 cents coin ) with the small rounded sticky rips-
top pieces included in your repair kit.
- Empty out the cells/caissons from sand, pebbles, grass, leaves, etc...
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, dry it thoroughly first.
Keep all metal parts away from corrosive elements.
Product longevity.
In addition to the pre-flight checks, you should regularly check and maintain your glider. We recommend that you have a specialist
workshop carrying out:
• A geometrical inspection every 50 hours of flight or every year, according to which comes first.
• A periodic check-up every 100 hours of flight or every 2 years according to whoch comes first.
The points requiring particular attention are the following:
• The lines (no excessive wear, no breakage, no folds), risers, links and carabiners.
• The fibers that make up the lines and the fabrics of the STEP X canopy have been selected and woven to ensure the best possible
compromise between lightness and durability. However, under certain conditions, such as prolonged exposure to UV light and/or
severe abrasion or exposure to chemicals, it is imperative that your glider be inspected in an approved workshop. Your safety is
at stake.
• SUPAIR recommends replacing the carabiners every 5 years or as soon as they have difficulty closing or show signs of wear.
Repair
In spite of using the best quality materials, your glider may be subjected to wear and tear ( Gigi, subjected et non subject ) and hence
will need to be regularly inspected at a qualified repair center.
SUPAIR also offers the possibility for its products to be repaired beyond the end of the warranty period. Please contact us either by
telephone or by E-mail sav@supair.com in order to receive a quote.
